Hôtel du Midi — Restaurant in Montpellier

If I only spoke of the staff, this hotel is the most friendly, client-oriented hotel I've stayed in since Hawaii and I would give it a 5+||The rooms are clean and relatively newly done and the air-conditioning is well placed over the door in the little corridor in front of the shower room, meaning it doesn't blow directly on you into the main part of the room.||On the other hand, there is no elevator. And while I don't mind running up & down 2 flights of stairs (it's a bit like home), it's very hard lugging up and then down a heavy suitcase. ||And there are no single rooms. A single must pay the price of a double, again being disfavored for not being part of a two-some. Yet, this room was in fact only comfortable for one, there being almost nowhere to put a large suitcase other than on the floor (giving up walking area) or on the desk. The hanging closet of about 50cm has only one hanger (although the staff will do their best to get you more if you ask) and there are only shelves but no drawers.||Its location offers both the best and the worst of all worlds: Just across the street is a miles-long sandy beach; you only need to grab a towel & go. On the other hand, it is more than 2km from the main town area, and which makes for a very long walk there and back with almost nothing between the hotel and the port. Thus some sort of transportation becomes necessary for those who want to go out. But there is, about a km down the road, a bike renting shop which is very friendly. It is well worth renting a bike for your stay to go into town and back comfortably. And the hotel keeps one of its garages special for bikes so no worrying about leaving the bike when it is not in use. ||Besides, the Herault offers wonderful bike trails along the Lez and in the marsh areas and well worth taking the flat, well-laid-out paths around the area and even into Montpelier.||If you have a car, there is parking at the hotel, but then the problem becomes parking in the port area when you arrive.||The perfect solution for me was taking time at the beach every day and bicycling into town for at least one meal/day.||While I definitely enjoyed my stay and appreciated the helpfulness of the staff, I've taken off a star for room size, the lack of an elevator and distance ...

The room just fitted the bill, good size, very clean, decor new. Efficient air con, sea view from the balcony (over the low rise houses opposite). The wifi worked well in reception, not so well in the room. The children loved how close the hotel was to the beach. The service was excellent- particularly in the restaurant. The owner appears gruff to begin with but turned out to be endlessly helpful- particularly when it came to parking our car! The meals were lovely- fresh ingredients, well priced and punctually served. The staff were happy to do half price portions of adult food for children who didn't want to choose from the kids menu. The only change we'd suggest would be a cheaper option at breakfast. At 8 Euro a head an adult might get their money's worth but, had we paid 8 Euro per child that would have been possibly the most expensive croissant in France. So we preferred to pop round to the next door campsite bakery instead. ||||On the whole, we were extremely pleased with our choice and would...
