La Mirande

Photos on La Mirande’s website depict richly colorful rooms and public spaces loaded with charm. But the reality we experienced bore little resemblance to these photos, leading us to wonder whether the shots had been taken decades ago or had been photoshopped. Evidence of neglect was everywhere. Our suite (ironically the hotel’s most expensive unit) featured an upholstered chair with a broken “sink-hole” seat, badly stained furniture, and faded threadbare rugs. The room's odd odor was noticed by a staff member who was there to fix the electricity. Even in the dining rooms, wall coverings were stained and peeling in places. In short, the hotel was so dispiriting that we spent as little time there as possible.

....Very central location - right next to the walls of the Papal Palace. Attractively served breakfast with a great choice of food. Lovely ambiance.

Everything but the bistro

The bistro menu was shocking. Very limited choices and the quality of foods were just ok. Whilst the hotel has Michelin star restaurant and overly salon de the, we didn’t think the bistro would be this low quality.

The location was exceptional.

My husband and I both found the staff incredibly unwelcoming and rude throughout our stay, mainly the reception staff and bar staff. However, the porter was very helpful. Our room lacked the 5star pricetag with broken lampshades and old wobbly furniture. The towels and bath robes lacked softness and comfort.

Gorgeous hotel, well maintained, with a beautiful courtyard restaurant. The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms modern. And the water pressure in the shower was amazing!

Nothing

This is an amazing hotel inside the old city with the Popes' Palace just across the street. We were picked up at the train station by the hotel car and the trip to the hotel was short. We stayed in a Deluxe Room for one night before our river cruise. The room was distinctive in style and full of charm. They say staying at this hotel is like taking a journey through time and it truly was. Overall, the service was wonderful. We had dinner at their Michelin Star restaurant. The ambience in the courtyard was lovely and the food was outstanding. Although our visit was short, this is a special place and we enjoyed it very much.

Great hotel very professional with a great location to everything.
