Appart'City Collection Nîmes Arènes
Appart'City Collection Nîmes Arènes"Good place to stay near the Nimes Arena. Overall it was a good stay. The room layout was a bit odd since the toilet was on one side of the room and the rest of the bathroom was on the other side. The only issue that I would say that may be worth noting is that unlike many other hotels in Europe, the windows did not block a lot of the sound from the outside."
"One if the cheaper hotels I stayed in so wasn't expecting much but it really surprised me! Great location. I had a room with 2 chairs on a balcony overlooking a square. There was also a terrace for everyone and you could take your breakfast there. Complimentary water (including sparkling) in room. Very nice staff - saw me walking around with a suitcase and came out to ask if I was looking for the hotel!"
"Our stay was really great, having someone at the front desk to answer any questions we had it make it definitely more pleasant. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of options. The room is a bit small, but it’s perfect for one or two people to rest comfortably with the quietness and the gentle air conditioning in a comfortable bed. We definitely plan to come back!"
"The staff was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The room was ready and spotless clean, with plenty of space and comfortable. The bathroom sparkling, efficient and one of the best shower pressures; everything was delightful and I’d return again anytime. Thank you Audrey, Laurent, and Thoma<3. Martin"
"great staff. Well furnished. Bright and clean."
"The room was super clean, spacious"
