Hôtel le Pré Galoffre

It gives me no pleasure to leave a poor review but it has to be said this was a disapointing stay. We chose the most expensive room which had two levels, upstairs being the main living room. We used photos to make our selection but they bore little resemblence to what we got. (Photo one/two) The room had been stripped down to bare essentials. No bedside lights or sockets. Furthermore the bathroom (somewhat grubby) was downstairs with the main light at the bottom of a narrow curved staircase. There was a table light at the top of the stairs which did not provide much safety. The balcony area was shared with three large air conditioning units. The downstairs rooms were likewise spartan, no carpets/rugs, poor decor and an old fence used as a headboard on the ground floor bed. (From which I got a splinter.) The main entrance was nicely appointed though the staircarpet was long overdue to be changed spoiling the impression. On arrival after driving 500 kms, we were told there was no food to be had. This as it turned out, was a lucky escape as when we did eat in, two days later when there was food, we were presented with gazpacho that was so vinegary it was imposible to finish and "risotto"(??) literally pressed into a jam pot. No flavour, no presentation. The dessert was an industrial chocolate mousse in a jar. Good things: The pool area was nice and kept clean. (The water was very cold.) The breakfasts were good. The staff were friendly. I have tried to be fair in this review. Pré Galoffre needs to pay attention to details if it's to maintain it's place as third hotel in Nimes and not rest on any laurels it may have had in the past. We shall not return.

Lovely stay and remarkable quality breakfast with local products. Highly recommended place in Nimes.

Rooms are ratjes small but ok, solid and soft bed, bathroom may need to be upgraded. We were also offered diner outside but were surprised about the bad price quality: price was 35€ pp for a menu with primary course rice with a small piece of duck meat and no vegetables, value not even 18€. Service was done by students without due instruction, so mediocre at best. Unfortunate for this type of hotel.

A good hotel on the outskirts of Nimes, with a lot of parking - which we realised was due to the fact that there are two hotels at this location both using similar names with the same access road. The main building is just bedrooms and reception with a small area for indoor dining if the weather does not allow for outside eating. We were lucky and could eat outside and the meal provided was very good. Dietary requirements had been noted. The bedrooms were clean and well appointed, and there is also a small swimming pool. There is a bus service just a short distance from the hotel into the centre of Nimes.

Warm welcome and super customer service. The beds were very comfortable and the room very clean. The breakfast was excellent on the terrace next to the pool. A great place to stay when exploring the beautiful city of Nimes. Would definitely visit again.

A nice looking overnight stop en route to Spain not far from the centre of Nimes and conveniently a few minutes from the motorway. Dog friendly with on-site parking. Hotel is quite dated and our room had a few issues. No hair dryer (need to ask for one. Why?), no plugs in either the hand basin or bath. Insects (beetles?) crawling around the bathroom. Outdoor pool was very cold and uninviting which was a surprise given it was 33C the day we stayed. Food at the table d’hote was average at best. Could be a fantastic place, but unfortunately wasn’t.
