Grand Hotel Des Terreaux

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Room comfortable size for two; clean; comfortable bed; air conditioning worked well and was necessary in July. Room windows faced interior courtyard, so no street noise; no noise from other guests either. Robe and slippers provided to get one back and forth to the pool. Location was good for pubic transport connections and for proximity to some museums, many restaurants, cafes and bars. Lots of nice bakeries and coffee places in the neighborhood. Well stocked grocery (Marché Presqu' Île) and drink store across the street, open late (til 9 most nights). Carrefour Express nearby open early. We did not take the breakfast, nor use the Wi-Fi.

In room safe only for small items; iPad mini probably would not fit. Air conditioning in room worked great and was necessary, but had what we assumed was a pump to remove water; it sounded like a Nespresso machine and went off every 5 to 10 minutes. Annoying in the early hours. No in room coffee or tea making set. We did not take the breakfast, but only found out on our departure that there was coffee/tea available in the bar area. The pool arangement is very odd. It feels as if the pool is in the breakfast area. From the breakfast room you walk up 4 steps and you are at the edge of the pool. Explains the strong chlorine smell in the lobby and breakfast room. Low ceilings and narrow edges make it a challenge for mobility impaired persons.

Excellent location. Big rooms

The hotel looks out dated. Everywhere there are unexpected and not logical stairs that got my suitcase broken. Stiff bed and noisy air-condition
