Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the Ambassadeur Hotel's prime location, which is near the marina, shops, and restaurants, with some noting a short walk to the train station and proximity to the Michelin-recommended Le Pily restaurant. Many have enjoyed rooms with creative touches and lovely harbor views, and appreciate the excellent breakfast buffet.

Acceptable, Though Some Discrepancies Exist

small roomstreet noise

The room I booked was a Comfort Double Room. It was smaller than I anticipated.. I struggled to find space for my luggage. Street noise was also an issue. I awoke several times because of shouting. I suppose the provision of earplugs in the bathroom is a tacit admission of this issue.

Excellent Location and Great Breakfast!!!

central locationfree parkingcomfortable bedoutside noise

The location was very central and offered free parking just behind the building. I appreciated the easy access to the center, shops, cafes, and restaurants all just around the corner. My room was updated, and I found the bed very comfortable. I was happy with the overall experience.

Even though I was at the rear of the hotel, the outside noise woke me many times. I found it surprising that the hotel supplies ear plugs because of this noise issue.
