PROS -best possible location to visite Sete -view on the canal -small garden/terrace -Nespresso machine -extremely clean, comfortable and luxurious -Occitane toiletries -had both a bath and a bath with nice bathrobes -perfect communication with host who provided all the details necessary for a flawless self-checkin via WhatsApp -highly recommend to eat at The Marcel, the one star Michelin restaurant around the corner -good aircon, comfortable pillows, pitch black room -perfect WiFi -easy parking

CONS -parking at the underground parking du Canal is the only option. It’s convenient but will cost you €20+ per day. It’s secure however and 300m from the apartment. -20€ for breakfast seems excessive when you have 3 bakeries less than a minute walking distance from the flat

Loved the two rooms and common area between. The apartment was nicely decorated and spacious. It was conveniently located on the canal. We loved having the small outdoor area for sitting. Loved the bath tub! It was a quiet apartment and one that we would likely revisit.

We were only left half a roll of toilet paper and between 4 people that was not enough. We also didn't get any dish towels so we had to use bathroom towels. We had to buy extra pods for the coffee as we were only allocated 4 which got us through the first day between 4 people.

This is a great apartment, fantastically located right in the middle of Sete. Furnished and decorated very stylishly, and extremely comfortable. It was cleaned daily. Be aware there are a number of suites, and booking.com doesn't name them so whilst the information was accurate, it might be worth looking on the Marcel Suites website in case you can figure out exactly which of the (five?) apartments you are booking (ours was the Suite Images Singulaires) - we hadn't clocked that this one did not have a view over the canal, but actually we were really happy because it meant it was very quiet at a very busy/noisy time of year! There is a small terrace sandwiched between the main apartment and the second bedroom, and whilst it's great to have some outside space, it has no view of anything and there is an extractor (from the kitchen below) which slightly takes the edge off it (although we got used to it over a week). Also don't expect to be able to do much in the galley kitchen. The equipment that is there is really good quality but there isn't much of it (eg only two dinner plates for a 4 person apartment, no colander for draining pasta, no lemon squeezer). But we had a great week there and it's a brilliant, comfortable base in the centre of town. NB we parked in the recommended car park which was very convenient but is pricey - 22 euros from about 10 hours (so overnight basically). But otherwise you have to spend time finding cheaper on street parking which was tough in August so we figured it was worth it for the convenience at the end of a day out and and easy departure the next morning. We'd definitely stay at The Marcel again if we come back to Sete.

Lack of kitchen equipment (lemon squeezer, colander, more glasses, mugs, plates). The extractor fan on the terrace.

Very decent room and super comfortable bed, nice toiletries provided. Great view of the canal, nice little balcony.

The room was dusty, cleaning wasn’t great. Fridge made a noise at night, and one of the roller blinds was missing the cord so we couldn’t use it. A lot of stairs to access the room not good if one has luggage and it is self check in.

Nicely decorated and a very comfortable room. That said, I would stay one floor up if returning. On the first floor we were right over the restaurant entrance below.

The first floor rooms are right over the restaurant. This was not really a sound issue, but we kept the windows closed to avoid the smell of food from below.

Location , the room was very stylish and the bathroom was beautiful. Great view over the canal

Nothing but for people with limited mobility the stairs could be an issue

perfect location. great decor and finishing touches. lovely and plentiful toiletries. beds exceptionally comfortable

shower stall beautifully built but small size. problem with second bedroom location is that if doors are properly closed you cannot access the main room for the toilet as the door auto locks without a key

The room and location were fantastic. The staff helped me get my suitcase upstairs.

There was no elevator which made getting upstairs with luggage to the room.

I liked the central location and loved the comfy beds. I think the artwork is very funky and loved the staff, who were very friendly and helpful. The boulangerie nearby 'Fournil de Coin' I would thoroughly recommend for their excellent bread.

Could have been better pots and pans in the apartment and better arm chairs.

Lovely room and excellent staff
