“Modest Prices - and Great Location!”

Very Clean accommodation - the modest rooms reflect the modest price point charged for nightly accommodation - however this hotel is in a great location - there is no pool on the property - however a beach directly across the road, along with a bus stop - and walking distance to other restaurants in the precent. The reception staff are particularly helpful - (my French is limited) - and I was really thankful for that - a great little place!!

“Great hotel and staff, awesome location. Had bad luck with in-room smoking neighbours.”

A great hotel, generally new, smells nice, very helpful staff and situated in a great location. The reason why this missed a perfect rating is due to two issues that troubled us.

A great hotel, generally new, smells nice, very helpful staff and situated in a great location. The reason why this missed a perfect rating is due to two issues that troubled us. We stayed here for 7 nights and from night 4 onward, we had cigarette smoke coming through the air con nightly and every morning from 6+ am. Very likely, the ac has a shared system and guests who moved in smoked in their rooms even though it isn’t allowed. We brought this up to a staff but she said it’s normal, anyway we took it in stride and tried our best to ignore this. The other reason is that the room is tidied very well daily but it isn’t exactly cleaned. The hair accumulation on the floor and the dead insect remained present for the entire length of our stay. All in all I’d consider staying here again and take my chances with in-room smoking neighbours.

“Good hotel, spoilt by the noisy club nearby”

The hotel itself is decent and value for money. Michael at the front of staff was extremely helpful with local knowledge and impeccable English.

The hotel itself is decent and value for money. Michael at the front of staff was extremely helpful with local knowledge and impeccable English. Location is awesome, restaurant downstairs has awesome truffle burgers and our view of the Bay was spot on. The downside is the club about 100 metres away which plays loud ‘doof-doof’ music until 3 am. Unless, you’re a late sleeper then there is absolutely nothing wrong with this hotel.

“Basic Hotel with Friendly Service”

Clean hotel in the heart of Baie des Citrons, with plenty of restaurants in walking distance. (Would like to rate as 3 1/2 stars but not possible.)

Clean hotel in the heart of Baie des Citrons, with plenty of restaurants in walking distance. (Would like to rate as 3 1/2 stars but not possible.) Staff were friendly and efficient, booking airport transport with ‘Arc en Ciel’ before our arrival. (Rental cars have street parking near the hotel, and we always found a spot.). The only ocean swimming allowed in Noumea currently is in a small roped-off area across the street. Lagoon View rooms, some with balconies, look great but are quite noisy unless you are a nightclubber yourself. After three nights of hearing the nearby club music until 3.30 am, as well as cars racing past and people yelling on the beach and footpath ALL night long, we moved into a garden room which was perfect for us. Management were quite helpful facilitating this changeover. Babar below the hotel had good food, and there are plenty of other dining options nearby.
