Banyuls-sur-Mer Hotels

Wonderful view over Banyuls and the sea. Very comfortable. Reception staff helpful. Parking good. Limited menu during the week - one night everything we ordered was unavailable. Attendant shut swimming pool early - very offhand.

Very relaxing and quite place The staff at the restaurant were not very friendly

The bedding and towels were changed every day and our room had a superb view of the sea. Their breakfast room/restaurant had panoramic views of the sea. Hotel needed upgrading. For example, tiles were missing from the swimming pool and grouting was dirty in our bathroom. No air conditioning in our room during a very hot time of year. We slept with the window open but as we were directly above the only road in or out of the area it was quite noisy. Hotel had a steep hill or 125 steps down to the beach and town, which website does not mention.

It is well situated just outside of town with beautiful vistas. Nice to have a spa at the hotel. The hours at the spa were very limited. Closed between noon - 2 PM and after 7 PM. The room is pretty basic.

Beautiful location, very helpful staff, clean rooms with balcony overlooking the sea, excellent buffet breakfast and good leisure facilities.

Banyuls sur mer is an extremely small village. However, this hotel is actually not located in the village. It is actually located on the other side of a rather imposing cliff. For some guests, this would be a huge problem since it makes it quite difficult to get to the town without a car. However, the location is also part of the hotel's charm. The hotel is situated on a small beach. And, there are very few people who use it in the off-season. It is also located next to a small bakery, which has tremendous pastries. When you book through Kayak, hotels apparently receive an email or fax with your payment details. Without telling you, this hotel then manually runs a hold against your credit card prior to your arrival. The problem with this approach is that American credit card companies now issue chip cards. And, they suspect fraud when the chip card is not inserted during the payment process. The consequence is that your credit card is then turned off when hotels employ these kind of holds. That is what happened to me. And, it completely ruined my one-day stay in Banyuls - as my credit card was not reactivated until two hours after my departure. To make matters worse, the hotel management did not respond to my follow-up email explaining what happened and recommending that they change their check-in procedures so that it doesn't happen to future Kayak guests.

Location The receptionist's lack of profissionalism. French was the only language the receptionist speaks

Restaurant is amazing!!! Would be good to have more towels and more shower gel.

Confortable room with sea view

Once I changed rooms, nice view of the sea, sound of waves on the beach. Great restaurant 'La Littorine' but too expensive for every day, and very limited menu. Avoid the "garden rooms" (which I had originally booked) - especially if you are claustraphobic - no views because no windows! Banale "international" breakfast, with coffee from a push button machine! It's a 15 minute+ walk into the town of Banyuls-sur-Mer.

position on beach. standard of food. pleasant staff. endless dull corridors

locationand friendliness of staff beds could be more comfortable

View was very nice. Staff spoke minimal English, free parking was advertised but in fact we had to pay to park.

We liked being right in the heart of Colioure with everything on the door step. The hotel does the best it can with its original lay out - lucky to have a lift although very small!

air conditioning dark stairways and stair lights

The hotel was in a good position, offered a secure car park and was functional. I requested a room with a double bed and another with 2 singles and got 2 doubles.

the atmosphere, decor , the lovely gardens and central location no

Setting in a shady garden was very attractive, a very authentic building. The doors to the rooms were poor quality and therefore there was no soundproofing.

Location was great. Staff were pleasant. Room was fine.

wonderful staff - good location - gorgeous garden area and pool dirty room and outdated and faded carpet/ curtain, wallpaper. Bathroom bad, toilet smelly ...

Great location. A few staff we quite offhand, claiming lack of English but really I suspect it was lack of interest. One was very helpful. So-called free wifi was in fact complicated, (and I've been using in Morocco and Spaini), the web master rules here not hotel management. Doors have strange locks, some rooms don't have show/bath selection. For Euro 77 expected more.

the staff were very helpful and friendly.the location is excellent being right in the heart of the town the room was very dark. and the internet did not work

good location, nice room and service nothing

central location of the hotel lack of parking. room's carpet could have been cleaner

View over port attractive, and proximity to town (walking); staff helpful allowing us to park our car after we had checked out Very noisy - directly on road and access to parking extremely tricky and then very restrictive and difficult space - also fairly expensive for what it was. Comparable tariff at hotel opposite (2 star) and both quieter and more attactive view

It's location was very good, on the edge of the town but away from noise and bustle. I thought the rooms were a bit basic for the price.

It's a nice building in a nice location, although to get to Collioure you need to walk about 15 minutes. The staff is friendly, and we got a suite which could have hosted four persons (just one bathroom and one toilets room though). The hotel has a swimming pool, I do not know about the access to the beach as we got late there anbd stayed only for one night. The one problem we encountered was with the Internet connectivity - it is by cable TV, and did not work for us. The night watch could not help in any way with it (and yes, we do speak French). One more problem - breakfast is very basic.
