Saint-Barthélemy Vacation Rentals

"Nice"

"The reviews online rave about the very nice rooms. The reviews and hotel info do not make clear that arriving with a car is very difficult logistically. The hotel boat is moored where there is only a pedestrian footpath. There is no where close by to drop the bags for easy access, many meters from where cars are allowed. There are no actual staff at the location, only virtual staff who cannot help with the luggage drop or movement. You get parking recommendations only after the cancel window has closed and in reality, the two car parks within 10 minute walk are community lots filled by local apartment dwellers. You can wait around for a spot to open but locals scout openings for their friends and not friendly to outsiders waiting. If you have any mobility issues, be aware you may need to carry/pull your suitcases at least 700 kilometers that could include stairs. So getting to La Peniche may require escape room types logic skills to achieve if you are older, have any mobility issues, and arrive by car. We failed and forfeited a nights stay because we could not make it work. In retrospect, plan for a more secure car park further away ( like the Greco Roman Museum lot) and taxi as close as you can to the boat."

"Close to many dining and shopping options. Very quiet at night."

"Very nice modern hotel. We had a great nights sleep. The room was extremely quiet and the bed and pillows were very comfortable. There is no restaurant on site for dinner but there are several restaurants 500 metres away. Good location close to the motorway. Good WiFi, parking and air conditioning. Staff were friendly and polite. Good breakfast. We would definitely stay here again."

"Ideal overnight stop on our way to S of France. Easy off & on motorway, safe parking, clean quiet room with comfy beds and a delicious meal with excellent and attentive service in the Bistrot. We will be returning!"

"The hotel was not as advertised on the hotels.com website. Did not know there would be a self check-in with no idea what to do upon arrival. Fortunately, there were people coming out of the hotel and this enabled us to get into the locked lobby. Otherwise, we would have been left stranded outside with no communication or direction. The reported instructions for how to access this hotel came 90 minutes after we were already heading up to our rooms. As we stood in the lobby trying to figure out how to check in with no staff, it became very frustrating. When we reached someone on the lobby desk phone, we were then put on hold for 25 minutes. This caused more frustration. Had we known this was an unstaffed hotel, we would have chosen some other location. Fortunately, for others who were also having the same experience and didn't know how to access an unstaffed hotel, we were also coming out of the lobby, and kindly let them in so they could go through the experience we just had. You even had to make your own room key. Rooms were good, but overall, not a good experience after a day of traveling."

"Nice hotel , free parking , rooms are clean , bed is comfy , has everything I need , great that there's a rail station close by so I can visit Lyon easily enough.would visit again."

"Easy location and comfortable stay for one night to attend Jazz à Vienne. Was able to work easily for the afternoon from the desk in the room. Small room but had everything needed. Staff were very friendly and helpful too."

"Passage d’une nuit dans cet hotel propre, bonne literie et personnel sympathique. Si je dois revenir au festival de Vienne j’y séjournerai a nouveau."
