Apartments in Montpellier

The room was as spacious as advertised. Bed area separate from living area. Small bathroom but the good thing was WC and bathroom were separate. Compact but fairly well-equipped kitchen also completely separate from living area. Room was at the side of the building so only view was over a lane way, at least there was a nice balcony. Covered market over the road had pretty much everything needed for self-catering, including one of Montpellier's best wine stores. Close to CBD but not ideal for walking, fortunately the tram is right outside, frequent and inexpensive. Staff were quite good. But some simple requests weren't able to be met (eg. I asked for an extra pillow but there were none available). OK, but didn't feel quite as well looked after as we might have hoped.

I stayed at Montpellier's Appart'hotel Odalys Les Occitanes in October 2023. I loved so many things about the place. For example, the location is great, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the folks at the reception are friendly and very helpful. But I can't give the hotel a high rating because of one very important thing: Their front door is heavy and often stuck, making it difficult for most women to open it. Most men have no problem opening it. Take a moment and consider this problem. When you are traveling anywhere in the world, has it ever crossed your mind that the only entrance to the hotel may be impossible to enter because the door's too heavy? It's never crossed my mind. And it shouldn't. Entering your hotel easily is a pretty basic requirement of a hotel. After straining my back in trying to push the heavy door open, then having to stop a stranger on the street (to ask him to help me), I went to the reception to see if they could address the problem. Their hands were tied. Despite their sympathy, they could do nothing. Their only suggestion: Call us if you can't get in and someone will come to open it for you. Now take a moment to consider this: First, imagine you have travelled many hours to Montpellier, you arrive at night, you are jetlagged, and your phone doesn't work because you just landed and haven't had time to get a new SIM card. What are you supposed to do? I noticed to the left of the door, there is an intercom. But guess what? It's broken. Oh, and here's another issue. One night I returned to the hotel with another woman so together we could push the door open, but we noticed there was no one at reception. Probably had to attend to something else. So if that happens when you call, I guess you're out of luck. When I suggested a solution, ”Prop the door open,” I was told we can't do that for security reasons. So...any man from the street can push the door open but women cannot. So where's the security? And who is the security for? I want to stress that this problem is not caused by the wonderful people who work at the reception. They are frustrated as well by the door. It is the management of the hotel who needs to solve this problem. So for now, the Appart'Hotel Odalys is a great place for men but women beware.

The taxi from the Gare St Roche to the hotel took 20 minutes and cost 20 euros. (We later walked back to the station which was only a kilometre away) We arrived at the hotel at 1pm hoping we may be able to check in early. Instead we were advised to store our luggage at the hotel as check in was not until 4pm. This was deflating as it was a really hot day. There was little empathy shown by the staff. We checked in after 4pm and were advised what was prohibited plus a deposit of 250 euro was required. This was surprising as we were only staying for 13 hours. The room was ok with a tiny shower that was difficult to move in, a small kitchenette and 2 single beds pushed together. Staff were friendly but inflexible. The rate was reasonable but factor in taxi & public transport costs. Walking down the corridor to the room requires going through 4 or 5 doors where the lights go on after you go through the door and the earlier lights go off. It is eerie and reminded me of the kid in The Shining. Not a bad hotel, but not customer focused and a bit far from the centre of a very ordinary town.

Starting with the friendlyness of the reception everything is pleasant The young woman has offered us a studio at the back of the building so that we do not hear the tram, we appreciated a very clean Studio with 2 beds very functional and beautiful kitchen Bathroom Toilet and Products available Beds made daily For TV fans a bouquet of 200 films of which many cartoons We will come back safely and in confidence Bravo Continue as I published the Tram at the exit of the hotel very convenient

Everything was perfect.

Beware! Worst hotel experience ever! We booked to stay overnight and had to checkin late because we had a road accident. Although we informed them in advance and they said we will be able to checkin, we just need to show ID card to the security, that guy actually wanted to make a photo copy of my credit card somewhere else, away from me. When I refused (I asked to at least be able to see what he copies) he just locked the door and we stayed 2hours in front of the hotel in the middle of the night with a baby and a 4yrs old... Later I agreed with the photocopy just because I wanted to have some sleep for the kids, entered the apartment where was just one double bed and a sofa, which was not prepared for sleep and there weren't any sheets or duvet cover. We of course paid for 4 people, not for 2! Everything was quite dirty and poor, absolutely not worth the 150€ price we paid. Also, we booked it because it was stated to have a secure parking, but they said parking is full, so we had to park in the middle of nowhere and we were worried for our car as well, as it was a latest mercedes model and the region of the hotel doesn't really feel like a safe one.

The hotel is a very good hotel for the best of the hotel . Appart functional hotel, correct equipment microwave boiler etc even if I've served it, by counter older furniture, all-used seat cracked etc , a refreshing paint would not be luxury, 2 take sector ( 1 in ka room and 1 in the corridor next door) it is quite little, and in the bathroom zero taken ( electric tooth pad and shaving. Breve 90 euro per night plus parking 7€50 plus 12 euro petit dej , ça fait 120 euro , désolé à ce prix là je vais ailleurs , contre réception des employés très satisfaisants, poli,

The meeting I attended in Montpellier was held at the city hall, Hotel de Ville, which is an impressive, vast, modern bulk in a booming concrete district south of the centre. Three minutes walk away is the Adagio Aparthotel, which is also close to tramways and therefore easily accessible from the city centre. I was very satisfied with the accommodation in a clean and well-equipped mini-apartment with fridge, cooker and a small dining table. The bed was comfortable and there were lots of shelves and cupboards as well as good lighting. However, a comfy chair to relax in would have been welcome. There's a lounge area on the ground floor where a good breakfast (including eggs, croissant and fresh fruit) is served. Although it is built and decorated in a slightly soulless style the Adagio was more than adequate for my two night stay.

What hurt the most was the fact that we had to exchange two RCI weeks of our own five-star resort to obtain one week in Hotel “Woe Be Gone.” It's beautifully nestled in a part of town that, let's just say, isn't going to make the top ten list of your tourist guide. You're certain to find no notable attractions in the vicinity. Our suite was like a minimalist dream. Think 'sp**** chic' with the chic missing, with a simple bed, two chairs, and a table that surely had its glory days in the 1980s. The kitchenette was an ode to improvisation, sporting a hotplate, a microwave, and a sink that's just large enough to bathe a hamster. And the crockery? Two mismatched glasses and bowls that were straight out of an abstract art exhibit - a true toast to our spirit of embracing uniqueness. The toilet, on the other hand, came with a charming little water feature – a constant trickle from the cistern that was just like being beside a babbling brook, minus the charm, tranquility or any sense of joy. Looking for a food store? Brush up on your Frogger skills because it’s twenty minutes and two hazardous highway crossings away. Oh, the on-site restaurant? More of a phantom eatery, really. It keeps the suspense by closing on weekends. However, their French espresso managed to shine - a lone beacon in an otherwise murky culinary landscape. Transport? No problem, if you're okay with parting with a modest sum of 30 euros every time you want to escape to town. In the end, we decided to vote ourselves off the island after two days, and instead took up the infinitely more delightful task of exploring Provence.
