Surprisingly fancy hotel for this small town. It is about a 30 min walk from the main part of Arles-sur-Tech. We stayed here for one night in the middle of doing the GR10. Room was fine, nothing to complain about. The hotel has a washer and dryer, which was very convenient for us in the middle of our hike.

Perhaps unrelated to the hotel, but the attached restaurant serves very small portions of some dishes (plats that should rightfully called appetizers). The buffet breakfast was good.

Excellent location.

With the river Ftech close by the hotel is in a peaceful location with ample parking. The studios are fairly well equiped but would be better if there was a kettle and toaster!
None of the staff speak English so a basic knowledge of French comes in handy.
The bar and food menus are quite basic and simple so don’t expect miracles!
To walk into town takes about 15-20 minutes which is fine. Amelie les Bains is lovely and very typically French with a good variety of bars and restaurants.
Would certainly like to return.

A great deal in Amelie

The staff is wonderful, the town is amazingly beautiful, and the value can't be beat!! This is not a luxury hotel, but it's location, views, and cleanliness, far exceed its modest price. You get a wonderful kitchenette if you feel like making your own meals, or you can dine in town. I would suggest heading down to Ceret for dinner though. Excellent food, and the atmosphere on the Place du la 9 Jets can't be beat! (If your into peaceful, understated beauty). If your going to spend some time in this spectacular valley, and you want someplace to stay that won't break your budget and won't disappoint, this is it!

P.S. Ask for room 103! Make sure you don't get room R04

Self catering? Note..

It should be borne in mind that room facilities seem to have changed this year. - discovering this after arrival.
I had arrived expecting same as booked previous year i.e. a standard room
I spoke with the receptionist who explianed that their studio rooms have a kitchen which would be possible to offer an upgrade to, confirming that the ' economy' rooms do not have a useable kitchen facility,, apparently changed from this year.

A surprise in the mountains

My husband and I were traveling by car from Warsaw, Poland to Alicante, Spain and we always like to stay off the beaten path. This hotel was just that but a pleasant surprise. The babbling brook lulled us to sleep, the food was all locally sourced and the smell of the forest was so refreshing.
When we awoke and saw the view and all that is available we wished that we could have stayed longer. The room was nothing special but it did have a small kitchen which if we brought our family along that would have come in handy.
The room was clean and the mattress was very comfortable. If we travel this way again, we would definitely stay here again. Oh...and it is dog friendly.

No English spoken !

The receptionist who I was told later was new was not very welcoming to us on arrival. She kept trying to tell me that Hotels.com had not yet paid for our room ( but was that my problem?!) She gave us a room that was not what we had booked - it was a grade below with no balcony. When I told the manager later he was apologetic and gave us a bottle of wine as a compensation. But I didn't like the attitude of the receptionist and the manager didn't speak English so it was not the best experience .

NICE APPARTMENT in pleasant natural setting

We stayed here four nights and had a restful stay - sitting outside by the river on lounge chairs on a sunny day, going for walks to town or nearby towns, going for drives towards the Spanish border and historic sights/towns. Staff was helpful and friendly. The apartment was very well equipped and comfortable, with a nice balcony. A minor consideration: though the bed was acceptably good, it would be better with a mattress topper (because we could still feel the springs (which bothered our sore backs a little). Would definitely recommend and return.

Good location and clean but facilities quite basic

Nice hotel in a good location. Some minor maintenance issues in the bedroom as the sink was blocked (which was quickly rectified by one of the staff). The shower tray didn't drain well so felt like we risked it overflowing and the shower head was poor. Lovely grounds - we would have liked to have sat out in the gardens with a beer but the price of the drinks in the bar was very steep - nearly twice the price of a beer in the town centre! All in all a good hotel though.

Pleasantly surprised

Just as I thought I had driven too far there was a sign pointing me in the direction of the hotel. Hotel was quaint and clean. Overlooked by a Fortress on a nearby hill and a short walk to a nearby river, which I could hear from my room. Definitely beats staying in Perpignan. You definitely feel you are out in the country but in reality you are not too far from civilization.

Some of the reviews talked this hotel down, I didn't have any problems. Size of room was not a surprise. I think it was good value for money overall.

We hadden ruim van tevoren twee kamers gereserveerd voor ons gezin. Helaas kwamen we op de dag van aankomst in een flinke file terecht door een bosbrand, waardoor duidelijk werd dat we de inchecktijd van 21:00 uur niet zouden halen. We namen direct contact op met het hotel om dit door te geven.

De medewerker gaf aan dat hij uiterlijk tot 21:30 uur wilde wachten, anders hadden we “pech”. Dit terwijl we onderweg waren met drie kleine kinderen. Ondanks onze situatie toonde hij weinig flexibiliteit of begrip. Ook na contact met Expedia bleef het hotel bij dit strikte standpunt.

Pas na ruim twee uur heen en weer bellen, waarbij we herhaaldelijk vroegen naar een andere oplossing, werd er uiteindelijk voorgesteld om de sleutels in een sleutelkastje met code achter te laten. Iets wat natuurlijk meteen aangeboden had kunnen worden, zeker in een situatie buiten onze controle.

De kamer en accommodatie zelf waren verder prima, maar de klantvriendelijkheid en gebrekkige servicegerichtheid voorafgaand aan ons verblijf laten een wrange nasmaak achter. Dit had met iets meer empathie en communicatie makkelijk voorkomen kunnen worden
