Boutique hotel with great service
Quaint hotel with a family-run, personalized feel. Historic building tastefully renovated. Woman at the front desk was friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was amazing- prepared to order. Close to central Montpellier. Farmers Market across the street was full of vendors and foods.

Brilliant small, friendly hotel.
We loved staying here for 5 days. The hotel is located directly opposite ‘the arches’ on a quiet street and is an easy walk to the centre of town. The room wasn’t huge but perfectly fine and looked out over the garden. Both the bedroom and en-suite were beautifully designed. Staff are all exceptionally helpful and thoughtful and frequently checked that all aspects of our stay were fine. Breakfast in the garden was a great way to start each day with lovely bread, pastries and fresh fruit salad. We also made use of the underground parking space nearby and the gym pass. We would definitely stay here again.

LOVELY HOTEL FOR SHORT STAYS
This hotel is a lovely place with a nice atomsphere, staff are friendly while remaining professional and helpful. The garden is a lovely place to relax and also to have breakfast, which is normal continental, croissants, fruit, yoghurt etc. It is in a good location, easy walking distance to center and all the sights. The room was small which is why I said good for short stays but everything was spotlessly clean and it also had a bath as well as a shower and lots of hot water. The main 'NEGATIVE' point is that the on street parking by the hotel is very expensive! However, not too far away we found 'INDIGO' underground parking which was more reasonable. The on street parking is free after 7p.m. until 9a.m. All in all a lovely stay.

Terrible experience overall. Awful reception staff with an anti-customer attitude that I’ve almost never seen at any hotel. I asked for late checkout a few minutes before 11, as my family was nit as yet all packed, something that, in my experience, hotels ate happy to provide where necessary and where new guests aren’t waiting in the lobby for their rooms, but was told no, I had to be out if my room in a few minutes. Unbelievable. Terribly customer antagonistic. Hotel design nice but room cramped and a tiny shower that insisted on putting water out into the floor. Wifi very slow. A very bad experience overall. This hotel should be avoided

Response from ARNAUD on 5 Aug 2021
Sir, I am sorry that your stay ended badly. I made your arrival and departure. At 11 a.m. you went down to reception to tell me that you were keeping the rooms until 12 p.m. / 12:30 p.m., I kindly told you that the check-out was at 11 a.m. but on your two rooms I could leave one available for you until at 11:30 am. You went up, and came down again 10 minutes later, throwing the keys on the reception and making inappropriate remarks. In 8 years in the hotel business, I have never encountered an aggressiveness like yours. EXPEDIA GROUP users will get their opinion of our establishment with the excellent marks we have, 4.4 / 5 in general and 4.6 / 5 for staff. A prior request could have enabled us to organize ourselves in order to leave you both rooms longer as one room was not enough for you. Good continuation Monsieur, Je suis navré que votre séjour se soit mal terminé. J’ai fait votre arrivée et votre départ. A 11h vous êtes descendu en réception me dire que vous gardiez les chambres jusqu’à 12h-12h30, je vous ai gentiment dit que le check-out était à 11h mais que sur vos deux chambres je pouvais vous en laisser une à disposition jusqu’à 11h30. Vous êtes remonté, et redescendu 10 minutes plus tard en jetant les clefs sur la réception et tenant des propos déplacés. En 8 ans d’hôtellerie je n’ai jamais rencontré une agressivité comme la vôtre. Les utilisateurs d’ EXPEDIA GROUP seront se faire un avis de notre établissement avec les excellentes notes que nous avons , 4.4/5 en note générale et 4.6/5 pour le personnel. Une demande préalable aurait pu nous permettre de nous organiser afin de vous laisser les deux chambres plus longtemps vu qu’une chambre ne vous suffisait pas. Bonne continuation

A small, family owned hotel, smallish rooms but comfortable beds and good shower. Lovely garden for breakfast, all the staff were really good and happy to help. In a nice quiet area, very near the old town. Would definitely recommend.

An overlooked tourist stop
Montpelier was a surprise tourist stop. The restaurants were top quality and reasonably priced. The town has a beautiful church and other sites to visit. It is also a convenient spot to go tour other cities like Arles and Pont du gard and the coast The hotel is adorable but if you are sensitive to cigerette smoke, even though it is a non smoking hotel smoke resonates in the breakfast area

Wonderful Boutique Hotel with Tropical Garden
The room was a little small, but this was more than compensated by the friendly staff and the tropical garden in which one could have breakfast, light meals, etc. We enjoyed our 8-day stay greatly and were sorry to leave. The location was ideal, in a quiet area very near the old city as well as several parks. Le5, just down the street, is one of the better French restaurants in Montpelier, and we took full advantage.

Lovely hotel - great service.
This is such a lovely place for a stop in Montpellier. The hotel is very quaint yet beautifully decorated and above all great service. Anna offered to take our bags upstairs and also offered to help with our washing. That was such a life saver. Breakfast was delicious and served in the lovely garden. Will Come again. Keep up the good work.

Under the arches in Montpellier
Les Arceaux is a short walk from the town center, next to an 18th-century aqueduct. The room was small (as European rooms often are) but well-appointed and very clean, and the air-conditioning was welcome. There are outdoor seating areas if you wish to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. We did not take the available breakfast, preferring to wander into town. There is a market under the aqueduct, right outside the front door. The neighborhood was pretty quiet.

Short visit to Montpellier and area
Hotel was adequate and in a good location for an easy walk into town - some nice quirky touches with decor and some of the staff very helpful and friendly - but it felt more like a b&b overall - small extras would have made a difference to us eg kettle in room, also a safe - once we came back to the hotel in the evening it would have been nice to have a bar or lounge to sit in or to be able to make a cuppa - there is a garden but as we were being plagued by mozzies we didn't really want to sit outside - bathroom lovely - very smart - cute little balcony

Delightful hotel near the Romanesque aquaduct
As seasoned independent travellers we were delighted to discover this truly stylish, traditional small French hotel in the middle of vibrant Montpellier. The staff were very helpful and friendly and waited on us with efficent good humour. We had a superior room with a brand new bathroom and comfortable king size bed. Drinks and meals were served in the luxuriant gardens. The breakfast was continental but very generous with cereals, fruit, ham, cheese, croissants, rolls, pain chocolate and yogurts if you wanted them. It was only a short pleasant 10 mins walk to the historic old town and the tram stop for the city centre was only a 3 minute walk away.

Welcoming and peaceful
This hotel is slightly off-centre but a pleasant walk into town with lovely views at the park beside the aqueduct. The garden is a peaceful oasis to relax for a continental breakfast served until 11.00am. The rooms upstairs are quite compact but have nice modern decor of a high standard. The superior rooms are precisely that and worth the extra cost. The owner/manager was very welcoming and helpful.

Best hotel of our stay in France!
It was the last night of our holiday in France so I booked this hotel because it wasn't far from the airport. The hotel was located in a commercial district so I wasn't expecting much; however, I was very pleasantly surprised because we were upgraded to a suite and everything about the room, the staff and even the breakfast the next morning, were all exemplary. I stay in a lot of hotels but this place was really impressive - I'd definitely stay here again.

We booked a hotel in Palavas not knowing how horrible it was and immediately left. So this was booked very last minute and we could not have been happier. Everyone was friendly and the room was very clean. It was incredibly convient to shops and dining. It was a total gem and we will return. We highly recommend this hotel.

Delightful hotel
This hotel is well situated within easy reach of the old part of town. Although we were in a room at the front of the hotel and slept with our window open we were not disturbed by traffic noise. The bed was comfortable. The glass bathroom door was less convenient when the other person had the light on in the middle of the night. No code for wifi was much appreciated. The staff were completely charming and helpful. One of the best things was the garden! It is beautiful, peaceful and secluded, and it is so civilised to be able to eat breakfast late! I would definitely stay here again.

Small but comfortable
Small boutique hotel with lovely garden. Staff are friendly but need training in service. this is a common problem in boutique hotels. As an example just tell me that there is hotel parking rather than explain the intricacies of market day on street parking. Getting a drink in the evening was impossible. But good place to stay if you are prepared to ask for things

Beautiful Boutique Hotel
This hotel is every bit as good as the revues suggest. My room was large by French standards with a modern bath with rainforest type shower. My room faced the main street on the second floor, with French doors leading to a small balcony over the street. There is a marvelously landscaped garden in the Hotel courtyard where, because of health problems, I spent much of one day. The hotel staff was very solicitous in supplying coffee and other drinks for my daughter and I. On Saturday morning , there is a large country market under the Roman aqueduct next to the Hotel--we were able to obtain French cheese, sausage , bread and grapes for a picnic in the nearby town of Nimes. The only negative is that the Hotel is located across from a large elevated public park from the central city attractions.

This is a fabulous hotel in a great city. The room we had was quite small but beautifully appointed. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was top quality - it even had flowers and Fragonnard toiletries! The breakfast is not cheap but delicious. a huge plate of fresh fruit and an enormous selection of pastries all is a gorgeous tropical garden. If you want laid back, good location and a touch of romance this is hotel to choose.

Hotel des Arceaux in Montpellier, France-charming
We have to agree with the previous reviewer who said he couldn't believe this jewell of an hotel was only 2 star. The people on reception were friendly,helpful; and kind. The room was attractively decorated, well appointed with a well-stocked fridge. Parking was not a problem; we found a bay immediately outside the front door after the market had finished, though initially, we had parked in the large parking under the aquaduct to which this hotel's name refers. They have a charming garden where you can take brunch till noon and snacks are available all day. I particularly liked the way they described the room as our home for the duration of our stay, which was sadly, only one night.
