Family friendly away from the bustle of Sete.

Family friendly hotel 5 mins walk from the beach. Room was a little small for 4 but manageable. A little out of Sete centre but plenty of good restaurants within walking distance. We stayed local as Sete centre is very busy. We ate at Restaurant Chez Mino opposite on the advice of the hotel staff and were blown away by the quality of the food. The roof top is a lovely place for aperitivo as the sun sets and then digestivo after dinner.

Sète is a little complicated as far as hotels. I was only in town to see the Brassens museum and gravesite, and also went to the Paul Valéry museum, which are quite far from the old town center, which is known for heavy traffic and scarce parking. It’s probably a two-hour walk round trip plus hills to see both museums. The location of the Imperial Hotel is convenient to both museums as long as you have a car. Parking in the public lot across the street is free from 7pm-9am and on Sunday. It’s less well located if you want a bunch of restaurants and bars around, although there is a highly-rated restaurant and highly-rated bistro within a block or two, plus a nice pizzeria next door and a so-so looking bar next to that and a mini Carrefour across the street. Besides that, there’s not much within walking distance unless you want to gamble at the casino. The staff at the hotel are very pleasant and welcoming, the building and rooms are clean and in good shape, and the off-season price was very good. It worked out well for me.

My first room had a horrible smell. I was told they have it when it is windy. Too bad there is always wind in Sete. I had to argue to change it to another room. I was given a lower category room so the no offer to compensation. In the new room the sink did not drain. There was no hot water in the morning for the shower. No excuse offered. Seemed business as usual. Never again.

Excellent accueil avec un personnel très à l'écoute et très serviable. La chambre bénéficie de volets occultants. Petit points d'amélioration possible qui ne concernent pas tout le monde. La composition du petit déjeuner est diversifiée. S'il pouvait y avoir un peu plus de fruits secs à coque (amandes, noisettes etc), ce serait parfait. Canal+ existe à la reception, pourquoi pas dans les chambres.

L'hôtel situé à la sortie de Sète. Une voiture est conseillée. Possibilité de parking payant à l'arrière de l'hôtel (peu de places et passage étroit). Arrêt de bus et place du marché devant l'hôtel avec plusieurs bars et restaurants. Très belle vue (avec la mer derrière les toits) depuis le bar sur le dernier étage de l'hôtel, les serveurs sont souriants et accueillants (ils viennent vous parler) comme le personnel à l'accueil. Vous pouvez prendre le petit-déjeuner en salle au RDC, en terrasse devant l'hôtel ou apporter votre plateau au dernier étage pour la vue. La chambre est plus que correcte, avec bouilloire, thé et café dispo. Il y a même un grand coffre-fort. La salle de bain est de taille convenable, avec douche et lavabo récents. Un établissement à conseiller.
