Well, well, well......I booked this hotel on the basis of the reviews I saw on this site....but was dissapointed.

Main point...I booked the sucure garage facility at an extra 8.50euro per night to ensure the hire car was safe. When I arrived, I found a tiny undercover car park, which was basically a couple of old cellars knocked together.

When I parked the car, I was asked to leave my keys at reception in case of emergency. I thought this was ok, but was concerned that this was a hire car so the guys in the hotel were not insured.

The next day I found the car parked in the street, unlocked. The hotel staff told me that they had to move it to let someone else out.

To cut a long story short, out of the five nights I stayed in the hotel, the car was parked in the street twice, and left unlocked 3 times.

When I took the car back, I was advised of some damage to the back bumber. I am arguing this, but if I end up loosing out, i'll be 600euro out of pocket to cover the excess.

You might say I was silly not to get full cover, but I risked 8.50 per night secure parking against 15 euro per day excess cover, not expecting the secure cover to cuase the damage.

Please do not use the hotel parking if you are at all concerned about your car.

For the hotel, the bathroom was newly refurbished but the room was very shabby. Having visited france often, I'm used to seeing smaller the average rooms, but this one was very small. I hit my head on the wall mounted TV once, as the first time I walked past the bottom of the bed, I misjudged how little room there was.

Room cleaning staff were great. hotel was clean and functional but have no mosquito nets on window (both my wife and myself have our fair share of bites!)

Also, check the room rates, as I paid 65euro for the tinniest of rooms, whereas tripadvisor quotes an average of 45 euro.

Location is great, but for the money, you can get a better hotel. Check the offers page on novotel atria for example, as the rooms are more spacious, the gagrage is more spacious and secure, and the location is even more central. There are others of course.

So best of luck, but beware the parking situation.

I stayed here for two nights in June 2007- all my friends will tell you I am notoriously finicky with regard to service, cleanliness etc - I have to say that this hotel is excellent value for money, scrupulously clean, tastefully decorated, with spacious and pretty rooms and trendy modern bathrooms. The staff were all extremely courteous and helpful - even exhibiting that relatively rare phenomenon amongst the French of a great sense of humour! The Hotel is 2 minutes walk from the main boulevard and in a very safe area. I did not take breakfast but spoke to people who waxed eloquent about the heaps of hot chocolate, fresh juice and warm croissants on offer. English is spoken reasonably well and nothing is too much trouble for the staff who will provide you with maps, restaurant recommendations and anything else you wish to know!

Forget all the characterless and expensive 3 and 4 star places, here you will find the walls decorated with Provencal images by local painters-ok so the television isn't flat screen and there is no mini bar- but who cares? if you go to Nimes to watch TV you must be mad, and why pay minibar prices when just a minute's walk away you can grab a half litre of chilled rose for under 4 quid?! This is the first time I have been moved to write a review - I paid 50 euros for a twin room and it was such a good experience that I wanted to let others know! I have stayed in many Hotels including those from "the leading hotels of the world" group" in Geneva, Ritz Carlton in Montreal and Nile Hilton in Cairo to name but a few - believe me the little Kyriad is better! I would be interested to know if others agree - try it!

Booked this hotel having read previous reviews from Trip Advisors. Had a little trouble finding hotel what with "one ways" and typical littering of badly parked French cars. Car park under hotel was a bit "tight" but luckily my husband had his Mum and Dad to give him helpful manovering suggestions.
Very friendly guy on reception, spoke great english compared to my school days French. We had a nice room, would have been spacious but a camp bed for my three year old took up a little too much room. Fantastic jacuzzi bath! Incredibly clean, having previously worked for Hilton group dirty rooms are a big, bug bare for me especially in older hotels but this was great. Breakfast was very nice, got very busy though so get up in time at weekends.
Nimes was very beautiful this time of year but incredibly cold - infact can't put into words how ridiculously freezing the Mistral winds were. Definitely bring your thermals! Visit the Pont du Gard and warm yourself up with a glass of Chateaux neuf du Pape!

We booked a cheap Ryanair flight from Luton and stayed five days.We were blessed with glorious weather (they get over 300 hundred sunny days a year in this part of France).The kyriad hotel was what previous occupants had said small but friendly with an excellent breakfast choice.If you book early enough there are a couple of rooms with balcolnys at an extra charge.

Rooms on the small side but excellent power shower, good value for money.Very central location for attractions and restaurants, word of warning our basic French got us around but had one slight hiccup at a restaurant, the word "cru" means raw which we did.nt know even thou the waitress tried her hardest to say special meal we ordered a raw beef dish which is popular in this region !!! .

Go to the tourist information near Roman temple you can get all the bus timetables for your trips, very helpful for trip to the Pont Du Gard and train times to Avignon.Well worth a day in Avignon with the splendid Papal Palace not much inside but home to the early Popes and the famous bridge, take a walk beside palace church and into the gardens, your high up and get a fantastic view over the Rhone and area.Lots of nice cloths shops along avenue up to palace at good prices.The temperature got to 26c on our visit cooled down early evening but still managed to eat outside, I should imagine it gets quite warm in summer so Spring time and late Autumn best for visits.Pont Du Gard is a short walk from coach stop but the walk you take to the bridge and through the nature area is lovely.The connecting bus service from the airport is there to meet all flights.
