Booked into this hotel for 3 nights because it had a swimming pool. The hotel is located on the Corniche about 3km from the central and anal areas of Sete but there are some shops and a few cafes/restaurants about a 10 minute walk away. About 5 minutes walk away are 2 sandy beaches. Public transport stops early evening so to get in/out of Sete require a walk or taxi (12-14 euros).
Cheapest way to get there from Beziers airport is to get the Airport shuttle bus (1.5 euros) to Marseillan and then the number 9 bus (1 euro) to Sete but get off at the Lido.
Generally the hotel is in poor condion and in urgent need of a facelift. I had a look in a few rooms and they were all generally in a similar condion. For example in our room the riser shower bar was gone so a you needed to hold the shower head above you. the bed was to big to fit between the fixed bedsie tables so you were always in danger of banging your head, the curtains didn't close across completely, the aircon was temperamental, many of the fixtures and fittings were broken and coming away from the walls, most of the advertised TV channels were not available, the front door of the hotel was left open overnight without any staff on duty, much of the poolside furniture was broken, etc. Staff generally friendly but housekeeping not great. The room rate during peak season is 100 euros which is the same rate charged by most of the booking sites so no discount is on offer.
Even a 2 star hotel should not be this tatty and not at 100 euros per night. It needs some money spent on it. However the hotel was full most of the time so with a captive clientelle the hotel is not making the effort.
