Best Western L'orangerie

“Great service in a family-friendly atmosphere”

Great service at this family-friendly hotel. The environment is delightful, rooms are very comfortable and the people are wonderful. Breakfast was good quality, and good value. Pool side rooms excellent, with outdoor area. The location is excellent, a 5 minute drive from the centre of Nimes.

“An oasis.”

Lovely, old-school. Great pool, amazing drinks from enthusiastic waiters that take upwards of ten minutes when nothing's going on. Loved it, wished we'd been there for longer! A bit out of town, but made up in the price - easy and clear parking!

“Very Good but Not Perfect”

We stayed a week and thoroughly enjoyed our visit, but it's not without faults. Closer to 3 star than the declared 4star The garden offers some pleasant privacy. The pool is pristine and ideal for children to splash about in but swimming - no. Our room with access to the garden was very comfortable… more

We stayed a week and thoroughly enjoyed our visit, but it's not without faults. Closer to 3 star than the declared 4star The garden offers some pleasant privacy. The pool is pristine and ideal for children to splash about in but swimming - no. Our room with access to the garden was very comfortable with quiet effective air conditioning.A well-appointed bathroom with good plumbing. Breakfast ( included ) was adequate. The cooked section was scrambled eggs and sausages, didn't like. Three minor things irritated us: Ordering a Gin& Tonic the only bottle was close to empty, the next evening there was no Gin and I was advised there would not be any for the rest of the week. As it happens a fresh bottle appeared on day three. The Hotel was understaffed as when ordering drinks they were started and were on the counter only to be abandoned as guests had arrived, when I enquired after our drinks I was blankly informed that guests had to be checked in, I mentioned that I had ordered prior to them arriving ( I apologised to the guests - but the ice was melting ! ) and then on checking out the receptionist said I had to pay for all extras for our visit without seeing a bill. I explained that I had never been asked to pay a hotel bill without being shown and was told " I guess we're different" I thought it was rude and foolish. I would still totally recommend L'Orangerie, we really enjoyed ourselves, just be prepared to navigate the above "silly annoying" things and all will be well. There is no dining room as such although plenty of space for breakfast. There are a few restaurants across the road. It's circa 15 min walk to La Gare.

“A one night stop”

A one night stay en route to Grimaud from Auch. We had not realised it was Festival weekend in Nimes (which was a fabulous spectacle) which meant hotel prices were high. Was it worth it? Probably not, as we only stayed one night but the hotel has a small pool, the room was comfortable, the bathroom… more

A one night stay en route to Grimaud from Auch. We had not realised it was Festival weekend in Nimes (which was a fabulous spectacle) which meant hotel prices were high. Was it worth it? Probably not, as we only stayed one night but the hotel has a small pool, the room was comfortable, the bathroom adequate (small bath) but it’s not a holiday relaxing type hotel as it adjacent to a very busy dual carriageway. Staff were informative, polite and spoke excellent English. Off road parking available.
