Hôtel Oceania Le Métropole Montpellier
Hôtel Oceania Le Métropole Montpellier"This is a really beautiful hotel in a very convenient location. The room was not ready when I arrived 1 1/2 hours before check-in, so I waited in the lobby. At 3 PM the room was still not ready, but they gave me an upgrade to another room. So they made it right. And they were very kind to give me a late checkout the next day."

Appart'City Confort Montpellier Gare Saint Roch
Appart'City Confort Montpellier Gare Saint Roch"I stayed in Montpellier for a week. Having a kitchenette as part of the room was great. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. I did not have breakfast but did order pizza one evening. The pizza was really nice, freshly made on a rustic base and seemed to have been fired. For those who gave bad reviews, please remember this is a 3 star not a 5 star. And an aparthotel. Giving you the feel of, as the name suggests, hotel and an apartment. I found it clean and comfortable. It was easy...
"Very friendly staff. Clean restrooms and beds. Old carpet, paint. AC/fan not working, and no screen on window so I spent evening chasing mosquitoes then being too hot once I closed the window. Inexpensive but I would have paid more for good sleep and no bites. "
