Hotels near Porte de France, Nimes

Very well located hotel, close to SNCF train station. Very convenient for overnight stay. Unfortunately, the reception is only open from 5:00 pm, which makes the check-in very late. A minor problem during my stay, my hotel room had a strong smell of air freshener and it was not clean, especially the toilet.

Needed a hotel near station/airport shuttle to get flight home. But this hotel was better than expected - and Nimes deserves a day or two looking at the roman historical sites etc. IBIS Budget Hotel is right across the road from the train station (back exit for bus connections) and is situated in same building as IBIS Styles so don't be confused! They have the same reception area/dining area - you just head to different sides of the hotel for your selected room. Stayed in budget part of hotel. Quirky rooms with clever and efficient use of space having shower/sink 'in room' and toilet in its own cubicle. Bed very comfortable, good shower. We really only needed a bed for the night and this more than sufficed. Reviews had shown people rated the breakfasts well and this is well justified. Excellent choices of continental but also scrambled egg, pancakes and waffles. Lots of continental breads and croissants and as we were eating staff brought out freshly baked madeleines (delicious!). Lots of fruit and impressed with the use of loose teas and recyclable bags to make your own teabags. Shuttle for airport right outside and staff at check in checked times and prices for us. We had only one night there but the roman arena is gorgeous and there were several restaurants beside this. Highly recommend the fillet steak at Chez Hubert. Gorgeous! Better than expected experience and ideal for what we needed.

I was surprised to find out that there are no staff stationed at the hotel past 8pm, despite my check-in voucher stating that the latest check-in time is 11pm. I do not like the experience as I arrived Nimes after a nearly 3-hour train delay and I was expecting that I could get into my room without much of a hassle. However, there was no staff at all when I entered the reception hall. I was shocked and luckily with the help of other residents I was able to call the staff and they advised how I could collect my key. I was lucky but it is possible that other customers in similar situations may not be so lucky.

Excellent welcome and performance at our electoral general meeting of the Gard Departmental Motorcycle Committee. The office and the presidents of the moto clubs present thank all the team at the hotel Vatel, the meal was sweet, very refined, and the service refined.

Fabulous location and lovely room. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine. We have a small dog, who was welcome. Parking right across the street. We will come back. Uzes is a great village with many restaurants and shops, perfect for walking.
