Hotels Near Domaine la Madeleine Saint Jean in Marseillan

Well where to start- The hotel location is excellent because from here you can walk and or cycle more or less everywhere in the town in 10 minutes. The hotel backs onto a golf course and is on a slope so that there is always a gentle breeze and the views are great. The rooms are excellent and ours included a small balcony with a table and two tall stools so we could eat our snack lunch outside, lovely. At the top of the hotel there is a small spa and leisure centre with a sauna and gym inside and then a lovely jacuzzi outside and usually very few people, lovely. The main problem (like many French hotels in my experience) is the staff. They seem to be totally DISinterested in things like service and the lady in the breakfast room asked u our room number every morning for a week, and they do NOT have more than 40 rooms. The reception too were always cold and distant, totally not what you hope for. The parking garage works very well so you can park your car in the shade which is a major bonus in the hot summer. All in all great hotel and very average staff.

We arrived directly from another Ibis Budget, in Nîmes, where we had an excellent experience so couldn’t help making comparisons. I’m afraid that it didn’t compare favourably. The receptionist was efficient enough but when we asked for a map, she said there were none due to Covid. We’ve been staying at many Accor hotels over the last three months and that was the first time we’d heard that. We were told that checkout time was 11am, an hour earlier than the normal checkout time throughout Europe, but for us that was okay. The room, number 1, was, as requested, facing the carpark. In fact, it was on the ground floor and faced directly on to the carpark. Which meant, in the morning, we couldn’t open the blind while getting ready without people in the carpark looking in. It wasn’t big (but we expected that), was dark and was a little tired looking but was okay for a night. It was clean and the aircon worked well. The WiFi was pretty lousy and only improved after midnight after, I assume, most other guests were asleep. Breakfast was fine - a good continental range - and the orange juice was real. The last straw was when we asked upon leaving whether we could leave our luggage there for an hour and a half while we looked around town. Tersely, the receptionist said “There!” Upon looking, we found there were lockers around the corner that had to be locked with €2 coins. We’ve never come across that! Instead we decided to drag our bags around town. We found the staff not at all friendly and would not recommend this hotel.

Hôtel très bien situé, les chambres face à la mer sont très confortables, bon accueil de la réception Petit bémol au petit déjeuner les jus de fruits ne sont pas de qualité, et si l'on prend l'option demi-pension sur plusieurs jours le menu est peu varié Plage à moins de 50 mètres
