Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Grand Hotel Des Terreaux from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Grand Hotel Des Terreaux enjoys a perfect location for exploring, with supermarkets and bakeries conveniently nearby. Guests appreciate the spacious, clean rooms, some having been upgraded to superior doubles, and particularly enjoy the bright bathrooms; also, some rooms feature air conditioning. The cool underground grotto pool is a highlight for many. Though a few guests have noted the rooms can be quite small for a 4-star hotel, its central position in an artsy neighborhood near the river, with its mix of classic and modern décor, makes it a fair value.

The location was great for walking and using public transportation. The staff answered my travel questions with good information. I found this helpful. The room was clean and the bathroom had updated features.
The room felt small. Storage space was limited. I also noted there were not many surface areas for placing items.

the staff at the front desk spoke english well. the supermarket exit is directly opposite the hotel doors. plenty of food options surround the hotel. the relaxation pools felt enjoyable and the bathrobes helped to dry off after.
