Very Well Located Hotel. The Majestic is a very basic, simple hotel with a rather tired, cramped uninviting reception area. Even in the rooms the decor seems dull and dark. But the good news is that the reception staff are lovely, warm and helpful, and the hotel represents excellent value for money. I asked for a lower-floor room and was allocated a double room just up the stairs on the first floor. The room, while uninspiring, had everything one could need---TV (no English channels, but Netflix) safety deposit box, sparkling clean sheets, a cute reading light , etc etc Best of all, it had fully functioning air conditioning---lovely and cool when one came in from the heatwave. My room had a large, modern, recently renovated bathroom, a huge bonus. I'm not sure if all rooms have these. There was a large modern, glassed in shower cubicle with continuous hot water, a mirror with a touch screen light, etc The location is super---litterly two minutes from the station, yet close to the Arena. There is no grotty vibe in the area around the station. Instead there is a lovely, long, tree- lined avenue leading to the Arena. Breakfast--especially the cooked offerings---did not inspire. It cost €12. One minute walk from the hotel down the main avenue, on the corner across from the station, is a café which does ”breakfast”---two long slices of baguette, a croissant, butter, marmalade, orange juice and coffee--- for €6.80 I was very happy with this hotel. It is simple, but good value and has lovely staff Nîmes is a great base for exploring the surrounding area by train or bus, so being so close to the train and bus station was a real bonus. The bus station is just behind the train station.
