Hôtel l'Orque Bleue

Overall, this hotel was a disappointment. It’s difficult to see how the owners consider it to be a “boutique” hotel and it’s not cheap. The reception staff were extremely helpful, the room was comfortable and the canal view was exceptional. Parking in the basement is limited and tricky to access but the staff were very helpful. We knew that there was no evening restaurant but again staff were helpful, there are many other restaurants nearby and their recommendation proved to be very good. The absence of any sense of luxury in the hotel was compounded by a breakfast that was an insult to French cuisine. In a town that is packed with excellent, fresh local produce how can this hotel provide an almost entirely pre-packaged selection of factory-processed foods ? Even the breakfast roll was of doubtful provenance. We won’t be returning but Sete is lovely and the nearby Grand Hotel looks like a much better bet for our next visit.

Fantastic location, close to everything. You can walk to all restaurants along the canals. All shopping is nearby. Very friendly and helpful hotel staff. Loved their simple fresh hotel breakfast every morning. Super clean rooms. Whimsical artwork throughout. Highly recommend.

Well situated on the banks with just stunning view, but not all their room have the view ! All the restaurants around, walk in the cit easily. The staff was kind, the room spacious bit oldish, need to renew their furniture, the bedding was very good ! Otherwise we did really enjoy our stay! Discovered a beautiful city !

One night here. Really friendly, super helpful staff. Room was OK, bathroom a little dated and the bath plug was broken, thus no bath, shower only. There was some confusion over breakfast, I think one has to book by 1800 the previous day, which we did not, but might be mistaken. Great location, really handy. Parking a real problem in Sete so do pay the additional €25 to book a spot in the hotel garage.

Situated on the Canal front near bars and restaurants this Hotel is a great spot for enjoying a visit to Sete. Its name appears on the entrance mat rather than the wall or a sign attached to the wall or door. It has a welcoming reception area it has an elevator servicing the 3 floors. The stairs are broad for those who wish to use the alternative. There is a small garage located at the back of the hotel with an entrance from the street running parallel to the canal. They also accept bicycles from those people cycling the canal. Our large room was located on the 3rd floor, overlooking the canal and its array of boats including active fishing vessels. The bathroom is spacious with a shower over the bath and a shower curtain. The toilet is in the bathroom. Breakfast consists of table service of breads, pasties, cheese, spreads, orange or apple juice, tea or coffee. The helpful staff make the stay a pleasure.

L hotel a l l'intérieur est fort bien décoré. Dommage la ville nous a semblé désertée en cette période entre 2 vacances scolaires. Le personnel est très gentil et attentionné . Le petit-déjeuner est bien servi. La cour intérieure ajoute encore au charme de l hotel. Parking privé à reserver
