I have stayed in this hotel 4 times and each stay has been excellent. The staff is charming and most helpful. The rooms are very comfortable if small. I have stayed in both Superior (standard) and Deluxe ( privilege) rooms. Both room categories are exactly the same size and layout. Deluxe rooms have the following extra amenities:
Flat screen tv
Robes and slippers
More bath products
Philipe Stark bath fixtures
Crown molding and more room decorations
free access to pool and fitness center
top two floors with restricted elevator access
The deluxe rooms have the Sofitel MyBed and I am not sure if the superior rooms do or not as I have stayed in a deluxe room the last two times I stayed.
The location of the hotel is an easy walk from the train station. When you exit the station turn to your right and follow the tram line which will lead you right by the hotel. The tram line will take a hard right and start down a hill. The hotel will be on your left as you go down the hill. If you are really loaded you can board the tram in front of the train station and take it one stop which cuts the walking distance in half. Driving is a bit tricky as you need to park in the Polygone P4 parking. Look for the small brown signs that direct you to the various hotels. This will lead you to the parking. The hotel has direct access to the parking lot and will validate your ticket for you at a reduced rate. The hotel also offers easy access to the historic center of Montpellier with the Place de la Comedie only a few minutes walk away.
The Sofitel MyBeds are extremely comfortable. The rooms feel upscale and well maintained. The breakfast buffet is very good and, being on the top floor, offers nice views of the city. The exterior of the hotel is basically a bland glass cube from the early 80's. Dont be put off by this as the hotel was completely renovated in 2002. Check out my photos which are of a deluxe room.
