Kyriad Nimes Centre Hotel

Reasonable priced and central hotel

If Novotel Atria wasn't so expensive, I would have stayed there... but our budget was tight, so we decided to stay here at Kyriad. We paid 69 Euros for a double bed (via their website). The location is great (2 mn from les Arènes), close to restaurants and shops.

Our room was on the second floor (#210, I think), the window faced the side of the street (if I'm not mistaken). The room was tiny and bit shabby, but clean. The bathroom looked refurbished.

TV is your best friend when you can't sleep.... No English channels, only French or German ones.

No mosquito net on the window, so my husband was the chosen one for bites. We ended up closing the window and turned the AC on.

I was really pleased with the tea/coffee making facilities. The cups are made of plastic, so watch out to not burn your hands. I managed to burn my little finger....

We had breakfast (7.50 Euros) at the hotel. I would rather have it outside, but my husband prefered having it there. Breakfast is served in a small room (behind the stairs). There is a buffet with hot milk, hot water, hot coffee, toaster (no sliced bread, so I assume you would have to cut a baguette in half), yogurts, salami, ham, cheese, cereals, fruit juices, water, mini croissants and mini pains au chocolat...

The local tourist tax of 0.76 Euros (per person) is charged at the end of your stay.

We didn't leave our car at their garage. We found a parking spot a couple of streets behind, but we were unlucky and got a parking ticket (11 Euros). If only we had arrived 22 minutes before...
If you park your car on public streets with "payant" signs, make sure you have the parking ticket (except it's a Sunday, which is free).

Unique Quality: Location, price, clean, tea/coffee making facilities, A/C.
