“Dirty, overpriced rooms from the 1970s”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 October 2010

Where do I start. It cost 300 Euros for a night - ok, we booked late but I was expecting something for my money... When we got to the room it looked like it had last been deecorated in the 1970s. Bad textured paint, brown sandpaper like carpet, etc. The bed had springs sticking through, and the sofa bed (which I was sleeping on) was so saggy and tilted towards one end I folded it up and put the razor thin matress on the floor.

But wait - it's not the worst part. The bathroom... It was dirty, small and the shower, which was attached to the bath taps, only gave out a trickle. And there was nowhere to hang it - that's right, 300 Euros a night and I was holding the shower to clean myself

I've honestly stayed in budget hotels for one tenth the price that were better fitted out. Honestly - avoid this one at all costs. Shocking



It's in the middle of nowhere, so you'll need a car.

“Charming hotel and excelent pool area and breakfast”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 October 2010

We stayed in this hotel one weekend and it was a nice experience. The swimming pool area is very charming, they have a lot of sun chair. The breakfast is a completed buffet.
It is a good hotel for relax and enjoy. It is near the St Tropez downtown and the beach, 10 min (car).

“Forget what you see in the site... very simple hotel!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2009

If you don´t want to pay 300Eur a night in the middle of St- Tropez but want to be at 10 min driving time, the location is ok... if you have a car.
The pool area is also ok.
But apart from these 2 factors everything reminded us of a 2-star hotel with 10 years or more. My problem was that they promise one thing in the site and then when you arrive there its completely different... perhaps if they didn´t promised so much we wouldn't be so badly impressed with the hotel.
When we arrived there and pointed that our room had nothing to do with the site they said that they add different rooms... and they could upgrade but if we paid more 50% of room fee!!! for that I would be in st-tropez!! This is not what they "promise" in the site", they only refer to different dimensions of the room and type of equipment (eg flat tv) and not that they have new and old room. We actually saw one they said is new and it wasn't much better!! Our bathroom also add a bad smell.
You can stay there but be aware that you are reserving a 2 star hotel with old rooms.

“Nice rooms, but you need a car.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 July 2009

We stumbled into St. Tropez at 11pm and needed a place to stay. After passing a couple places at $300 a night, we had to head out of town to find something somewhat affordable. We were able to stay here for $150, and while you absolutely must have access to a car to make this worthwhile, it's a very good hotel. If you're into Best Westerns, this is one of the nicest you'll ever stay at.

The property sits on a mountain and many rooms overlook a valley floor, several hundred feet below. True, it's not the sea, but it's still impressive. The rooms are a good size with sliding glass doors that open out to a large balcony. When we arrived, the staff on site was nice, gave us WiFi when asked (as she was leaving) and made sure we had everything we needed. The pool and bar, however, could stay open later (after a long drive, we were looking forward to food and the pool.)

I don't know if I would make this my first choice if going to St. Tropez, but you can definitely do worse. Just be willing to wake up early to get a good parking spot in town. The hotel would benefit from running a regular shuttle to and from town -- that alone would attract and retain more customers.

“Poor Location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2008

I stayed here with two mates in Augist 2008. We knew the hotel was around 6km from St Tropez centre but in reality it is actually more like 10km. I know this because we walked in to town the first night and it took 1hr 30 mns! The hotel itself is actually OK, rooms are basic and there are limited facilities but the pool is nice and generally quiet during the day. The main issue is location and the price of taxis. To get a taxi into town it costs €40! There is nothing around the hotel so unless you want a nice quiet break beside the pool then I advise against staying here (unless you accept that you will have to pay €40 each time you go in or out of town). Because there is nothing around the hotel you could spend €160 a day if you are going to the beach in daytime and out for dinner at night. There is a bus stop roughly 20 minutes walk away but the times are erratic to say the least and they are less than frequent. If you want to see St-Tropez I advise you to increase your budget and stay somewhere closer to town, it's definitlely worth it.

  • Liked — Small but nice pool area - and very relaxing stay
  • Disliked — Location

mour83, Direction at BEST WESTERN Relais de Font Mourier, responded to this review
5 December 2008
Dears Sirs,
We thank you a lot for your visit.
It seems you did not appreciate the calm atmosphere of our newly renovated establishment which is one of the best appreciated criteria by the majority of our customers.
Saint Tropez is not so far from our hotel but we always repeat to our clients that a car is needed to go there. We understand that it is quite expensive to take a taxi but we are not responsible for their prices and try to find a satisfying solution for our customers. As for buses, the nearest bus stop is just at the bottom of the residence and we are not responsible for the schedules.
We are very pleased to know that you enjoyed our swimming pool and its surroundings.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Best Regards
THE MANAGING DIRECTOR
