Stayed at Welcome as part of a trip through Europe after picking up a new BMW. Fantastic location. Staff was very attentive, and helped out with a few questions that we had while there, even with our broken French. Room was exactly as advertised on their website. Made the last leg of our trip truly memorable. Just a little anecdotal story that's sums up the staff. I had asked months earlier over email to have secure parking for the new car. I figured that I'd have a 50/50 chance getting that, and would probably need to remind them. Well, lets just say not only did they remember, but they actually had a small garage for just my car across the street. Awesome! And on the day we left, the manager of the hotel had to get some of the antique vendors to move their wares for us to get our car, and then managed traffic for us too with all of the people in the area from the two cruise ships which arrived earlier in the morning. Epic! Great place, would highly recommend if staying in the Cote.

Hotel Welcome Colleagues appreciated our ability to converse in French. Hotel Welcome colleagues were very sweet to our child. Room service so prompt and did an excellent job. Here are a few thoughts on what could be improved upon, having stayed there 3 times now in 11 years: 1. Check-in is at 3. There seems no room to negotiate this. We waited about 4 hours in lobby before room was ready exactly at 3. Now, perhaps this is just their policy but sharing for those that may arrive on an early am flight as we did. 2. Bedding situation: Mattresses are lumpy and akin to a futon. Even with a topper added, you can't hide an older mattress that needs replacing. This has been the case all 3 visits. The major issue for our family was both lack of pillows and that the pillows were not comfortable at all. We had 2 pillows for a king bed. Both felt like a hard cushion. Prior visits (2 prior stays) we had about 6 sleeping pillows on bed. Now, it's great that they have room to put in a twin bed for your child, so that is a huge plus, but a good pillow is so important for a restful night's sleep. Our child said their pillow was filled with rocks. When we called to ask for more pillows, that were also softer, the front desk told us there were no more pillows and call back in the morning. They did come up to help us shortly after, saying there should be more pillows in our room- but they were not there. 3. Prior stays, we felt really "welcomed" with a small floral arrangement and local chocolates. This time, no flowers and a smaller chocolate box. Nice but noticed the difference. 4. Not a critique but you will need to bring a conditioner for your hair. They have very small bottles, which don't go far. The bath and shampoo products are nice. Overall, we love this hotel. Rooms have balconies where you can sit and enjoy the sea. The view is incredibly stunning. It is right next to the Citadel which is lovely, and that, along with the tunnels and immediate area, really take you back in time. I think some renovations with new flooringpaint, mattresses, pillows would go a long way and better justify the price point too.

I've traveled the world over and have met many a barkeep. This refined gentleman makes the trip worthwhile as he oversees the bar area and pours a delicious drink- all the while making interesting and polite conversation with old world elegance. If you are looking for the slick modernism of a Four Seasons or a Mandarin Oriental, La Voile D'Or is not for you. But our older and charming room with views off the sea were just what made us very sorry to leave. Each day my wife and I tumbled out of bed and down to the stunning pool area where we were greeted by Muriel, Catharine and Isabel who reserved the best chaise lounges for us to gaze at the ocean, enjoy an impeccable lunch, and slip into the sea while ordering off of the refreshing cocktail menu. Such hospitality and service is a hallmark of this gorgeous jewel on the ocean and I hope I return at every opportunity. What a treat! Thank you to the gracious staff that made our trip so memorable each day. Absolutely the best!

Well I guess I'm the first on Yelp to review this place. A…read morefriend of mine booked this hotel throughout one of the travel sites. Terrible! It's an old hotel. Our room had a bathroom sink not working, no water. Some of the room's lights didn't work, the bed is like sleeping on the floor, the smell coming from pipes is disgusting. I wouldn't book that place at all, BUT having said that, the location is good, there's a bus stop just down the street as well as train station within walking distance. I may understand the French culture and that almost all places are old, but it doesn't look like anyone is investing any dime on this place. You can even see dirt/mold on bathroom tiles. I think an AirBnB will be much better. We didn't spend any time in this room other than waking up and going to bed, and I'll wake up earlier just to get out. Nice man at the reception which opens at 9am. But like I told my friend, if this is a "hotel" like, someone is not doing their job. The cleaning lady we saw in there or him not inspecting a room before renting it!

Views from our top floor harbor facing room were spectacular and lifetime memories. The room had a comfortable bed and large (by European standards) bathroom. Hotel offers option of an extra room charge for breakfast or to not have breakfast. I appreciated the option as we prefer to walk in the morning and find our own dining location. Staff was polite and helpful. I asked regarding nearby restaurants and they recommended two. One was a cafe across the street from the hotel entrance and the second a marina outdoor casual food stand. Both were excellent recommendations and we ate at both twice. The marina is good for lunch sitting at the water line and the cafe is excellent for evening dinner and wine. Also noteworthy is that staff did not mention the expensive restaurant nearby on the harbor. I could see why when I walked down to harbor restaurant and saw their exorbitant prices. Hotel de la Darse is an excellent hotel and good value!

It was not the staff's problem however it may have contributed to their demeanor which was not always warm and friendly. There was allot of construction going on nearby. I assume since it's a little off season that this is the best time of year to get it done. So this could be more about the timing but in general I'd have to say we found the place to be "ok."
