Hôtel Ermitage

The location is great, Bar & Restaurant with views overlooking the town and the bay. Great place for drinks at the terrace, cool visitors and chill out mood. Convenient valet parking with a fair price for the area. Staff is "french way" friendly.

It is welcoming from the exterior and it's nice to visit as a guest for drinks and restaurant, but not as pleasent to stay as guest of the hotel. The exterior fits charming Saint-Tropez style, with Pétanque game, Bougainvillea vines and nice views as mentioned, but the interior its not very well maintened, not as clean as needed, the amenities are few (almost none). The hallways and rooms are too dark to be nice to stay in: with dark green or violet walls, dirty and stained black marble floors. The bathroom concept isn't the most confortable for guests that are couples, with no-window toilet cabins and shower literally inside the room (no-exhauster as well). From the lobby of the hotel to the rooms, everything smells either like food (from the restaurant kitchen) or like a night club on the next day, so it is hard to feel cleaninnes around. Also, there is a Club located on the ground floor near the entrance that gets very busy (and loud) late hours (up to 3 am), so if you are looking for a quiet stay, this is not the place. We didn't mind, but be aware. The pictures on Booking are so awful, that I actually was surprised in a good way when we arrived, specially after reading a few of the reviews here and there. Staff is "french way" friendly as mentioned, so trying to speak a few basic words in their language might help (scpecially Americans). There is no elevator in the property, so be aware of medium and large suitcases. It is definetely not a confortable place to stay, but the price was quite an asset for those days and location helps the average rate.
