Decor was awful and rather tired, and area outside main entrance rather awkwardly on a paved slope and tucked away from view. Towels rather skimpy. However - hotel was very clean and well run, room was spacious and comfortable, staff were lovely, and central position in pedestrian area was excellent with station, trams, restaurants, museums and the Esplanade ( plane trees, fountains, bars and cafés) just a few minutes walk away. Plus the breakfast buffet was ample, fresh and good quality each morning. We enjoyed our stay in Montpellier.
