Families are warmly welcomed with practical facilities to make your stay easier. You can request cots for your room, and highchairs are available in the breakfast area.

“Fantastic stay”

We chose Occidental for location, but everything about it has been fabulous!!!! It was my husband’s 70th birthday and our 30th wedding anniversary the day we arrived. The receptionist organised some treats for our room and when we got there we had been upgraded to a suite. Really comfortable bed and amazing shower!!! Breakfast was lovely - lots to choose from and set us up for the day. So many restaurants and bars - we loved Sigma and Le Kanotier. Couldn’t tell you where they are as we wandered and found them! A walk to the castle from the hotel and through the pretty old town is a must, but quite tough. Thank you Occidental - we will be back!

“Overpriced”

Disappointing breakfast: plenty of pastries, but low quality and not fresh every morning. Limited English among the staff. The room is cleaned in the early afternoon, right when I wanted to rest. Putting up the "Do not disturb" sign isn't an option, since I want the room cleaned, so resting was impossible. When I asked what time rooms are cleaned, I got no answer. There is a kettle in the room, but only paper cups, and they weren't replaced after we used them. The tea bags left in the room had already been opened. The window in the room felt unsafe.
