Royal Hôtel

Enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Plenty of character, in an old building, with an attractive restaurant and breakfast room. Helpful, efficient staff on reception. Our room was spacious, clean and comfortable, with a double window overlooking an attractive square at the front of the hotel. It’s a popular place in the evenings, with lots of people enjoying meals, drinks and music. Breakfast is served on a tray and brought to your table in the breakfast room. I wasn’t a big fan of this and found it too repetitive by the fourth day. Definitely more choice with a buffet style option. The location of the hotel is perfect for sightseeing and visiting all the main points of interest in the very attractive and peaceful town of Nîmes.

The hotel is ideally located in Nimes, at walking distance from most Roman artifacts and Jardins de la Fontaine. The parking is also ideally located, with the lift popping out just in front of the hotel. However, the hotel itself is so-so, akin to a 2* hotel. The rooms are very small, and do not include coffee or tea, and water bottles must be asked at the reception. We were given a "car park" free pass to exit, but it did not work (so had to pay the full overnight price of about EUR 25/day).

We reserved two nights at the Royal Hotel in Nimes, France. On the day we checked-in, they charged my credit card for the two nights lodging, but I was not made aware of this. When we checked out, we were given a receipt for the two nights lodging, plus parking fee and tax, which was charged to my credit card. It wasn't until I saw my credit card statement that I realized they double charged for the two nights lodging. I sent them a couple emails about the double charges, but never received a response. Fortunately, my credit card company refunded me the extra charges, and said they would deal with the hotel about the charges. I never heard more about it. The hotel is in a nice location for seeing the sights in Nimes, and the room was fine. Our room overlooked the outdoor restaurant in front of the hotel, but we did not have any noise issues at night. We did not eat there, because they did not offer gluten-free meals, but there were other restaurants in town that did. There is a public underground parking garage with an elevator that come up the street next to the hotel. Over-all, a good stay except for the double charges on the credit card.

Such a marvelous place. Friendly staff, delicious breakfast, central (place d’assas and the historical city centre) but No street noise.Interior decoration reflects Spanish influences in this region. A 15 m walk from railway station, parking for those traveling by car. Highly recommendable!

A very disappointing hotel .Rooms very basic but clean Bathroom the smallest I have ever experienced or would want to again.We did not find the downstairs decor of the hotel very appealing so ate out for breakfast and other meals
