ホテル エステロ(Hotel Estelou)

We had booked a garden room expecting the room to be sizeable given that it was more expensive than the other rooms. We were very disappointed with how small and dark the room was with nowhere to unpack anything apart from five coathangers on a rail with a shelf below. The showerhead was positioned too high and was not adjustable so that the spray went right over my head and my 5’ 10” husband’s onto the shower curtain and soaked the bath mat the first time I used it. After that, I had to hold it in one hand while I washed myself with the other, as that was the only way to actually get the water onto my body! The breakfast was a rip-off at €18, for which you got a glass of juice, croissant, yoghurt, cheese, piece of watermelon and a choice of two cereals. We were the only ones having breakfast on the day we decided to eat in and found it much more preferable and better value to walk into town and buy a freshly squeezed out glass of orange juice, croissant and coffee there. My sister was staying in an upstairs twin room with an ensuite bathroom which had a bath with a better height shower and was much lighter and sunnier so would recommend that instead of the downstairs ground floor one we were in . The location was very good as it was right on the cycle track laid over the disused railway line and was a five minute walk along the road to the town centre.

The location is lovely. Unfortunately the rooms are tiny. For an additional Euro 14, we got a poor breakfast: no decent coffee, no eggs (except for an additional Euro 2.60 per egg), poor quality products. Dogs cost an additional Euro 13, an extra bed was charged with another Euro 21 - a disappointent

Have stayed at this hotel (former railway station) a number of times now and cannot fault it. It is well maintained, set in lovely gardens with beautiful trees. The swimming pool is secure and surrounded by comfortable sun beds with towels supplied. Our room was in the garden with a small outdoor but quite private area with a table and two chairs. The bedroom was well appointed with a very comfortable bed and spacious wardrobe area and small desk. Air conditioning was very effective and silent. A separate toilet and spacious bathroom with a walk in shower added to the overall sense of space and the walls and curtains were in modern neutral colours. But what really makes this hotel stand out is the management and staff: courteous, attentive, professional and friendly. Little touches such as escorting you too your room and offering to take your bags are truly appreciated. Although we did not avail ourselves of the breakfast this time, (because we went to the local antique market at the crack of dawn) past experiences were extremely favourable. This is a hotel where you genuinely feel welcome and one where you can actually see the management and staff take pride.

Second time we have stayed here. Staff are very obliging and professionally friendly without being obtrusive Nice pool and garden area to relax in. Room was quite spacious (European standards), bright and airy The air conditioner was temporarily out of order so they set up an electric fan to circulate the air and with the windows open, it was a very pleasant night’s sleep in a very comfortable bed.

Très beau cadre, original et superbement aménagé. Chambres spacieuses et confortables, accueil souriant. Au coeur de la nature, au calme et tout près de la ville de Sommières. Petit déjeuner complet. Un vrai dépaysement à expérimenter.

Hôtel très original dans l' ancienne gare de Sommières, rénovée avec beaucoup de gout. Très bien situé à deux pas du centre ville, au calme. Chambre et literie très confortable Accueil très chaleureux; Petit déjeuner copieux. A recommander

Belle batisse située au mileu d'arbres centenaires. Service impeccable: Un grand merci à Paul, Alina et Sarah, tres professionnels et sympathiques! Espaces communs, dont bar et piscine très agréables. Chambres de taille modeste mais bien agencées et très propres. Ayant le sommeil léger, nous préférons celles qui donnent sur la piscine et le jardin paysagé, hyper calmes. Deux suggestions d'amélioration : Remplacer l'alèze en plastique (qui fait qu'on se réveille trempé de sueur en pleine nuit) par l'aleze ouaté commun à tous les hotels, et investir dans de meilleurs oreillers. A part cela, tout est agréable et nous reviendrons avec plaisir!

Nous avions lu les bons avis et vraiment nous avons été charmés par l’endroit ! Atypique c’est sûr ! Très belle mise en valeur de la fonction première des lieux et déco au top ! Salles ou extérieur pour petit déjeuner super chouettes ! Réception très belle aussi ! Petit déjeuner délicieux N’étant que de passage nous n’avons pas profité de la piscine .. Centre de Sommières à qq minutes à pied… Un grand merci à Denis qui nous a accueillis et guidés … Nous recommandons l‘endroit !

En cette période "hors saison", l'accueil était "aux petits soins" pour moi... Chambre très confortable, cadre agréable, et petit déjeuner personnalisé dans la jolie verrière... Je recommande vivement cet hôtel !
