Les Jardins du Cèdre, Boutique hôtel & gastronomie

We originally booked one night and ended staying three. The room was spacious, and very comfortable with a spectacular view overlooking the port which is an eight minute walk away. Numerous good restaurants along the port as well as the hotel restaurant which was our favorite. Reserved onsite free parking a big plus. Highly recommend as this is an excellent value.

Clogged toilet, leaking water and unusable. They said it was impossible to have it repaired bc the technitian was out of working hours, and no satisfactory solution was offered. Cold room. There was only a heat pump, which did not provide enough warmth even when set to the maximum. In the morning we had to rely on the bathroom heater. At 9 a.m., the shower water was not hot. It was lukewarm, insufficient for a shower in December. Humiliating and arrogant treatment from the morning supervisor on the day of our departure, Sunday, 7 December 2025. She told us that the toilet had become clogged because toilet paper had been used. She said this rudely while we were having breakfast, and walked away without allowing any possibility of dialogue. It should be noted that there was no sign indicating that this toilet could not accept toilet paper. She also said, again in a rude manner, that the room was warm enough in the morning; she did not even let us respond that this was only thanks to the noisy bathroom heater. Unsurprisingly, she said nothing about the lack of hot water. Humiliating and arrogant behaviour. The receptionist, on the other hand, was very kind and attentive. I suggested a complimentary breakfast as compensation, before the unfortunate intervention of the supervisor. We felt disrespected.

Wonderful Restaurant|Reception friendly and professional|Room comfortable, bed and linen good. Bathroom small but well equipped. Very clean|Bar - quick and efficient service with a good range of drinks.|Food - simply excellent. The Hotel restaurant deserves its title of 'Table Distinguee'. Breakfast - fresh good quality products - buffet style.|Two small things. First the dining area needs an attack of the feather duster to removed cobwebs from the windows.|The first night we had to ask for a bottle of water 3 times (it arrived with apologies). The second night after 5 requests for a bottle of water, my wife went to the bar and on the 6th time of asking the water arrived (but no apology).

The staff was friendly and the location of the hotel is not bad while there is a nice view over the port and sea. The pool outside looks very nice. There is free parking on the premises. The hotel staircase and rooms had a kind of refreshment years ago. The room had a good mattress, however it was not clean and the bathroom needs complete replacement. We felt we were ripped off, it wasn’t worth the money.

The hotel is well situated for the port and the bars/restaurants there.|Great welcome from the lady on reception. The room was comfortable, slightly dated if you're picky, but did the job well for a one night stop.|The beds are very comfotable and we slept very well. There's a little road noise from 07:30, but not enough to stop us from sleeping.|The breakfast was very good and varied and set us up for the day.

We stayed in the modern annexe. Our room was very comfortable and well designed. The beds were excellent and the bathroom was spacious. We had facilities to make coffee or tea there. The staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. The evening meals were truly excellent. I have seldom experienced anything better in any hotel. We also enjoyed our breakfasts as the bread was especially good.

We booked this hotel because of its advertised sea views and thinking it would be quieter being set above the port. The staff overall were smiley, helpful and hardworking. ||Location: above the town with views across the working port, there was a large container ship being loaded/unloaded for the first 24 hours of our stay with all the attendant noise; also a busy road, sports centre and industrial units in the immediate vicinity, not forgetting an active railway line directly below the hotel. Not quite as depicted on the website! Beyond all this good sea views. ||Room: we had a suite which was fine, not luxurious but perfectly pleasant. Small annoyances being the bottles of filtered water were not refilled daily despite being advertised as such, only one small rubbish bin serving a bathroom, 2 bedrooms separate loo, bathroom & a kitchen/sitting room. At time of writing, 12:30pm, still waiting for the room to be cleaned. ||Outside: small pool with sun loungers no umbrellas but pine trees offering some shade one of which has bags fixed round it to catch Processionary Caterpillars (google them they are extremely harmful to humans and pets). ||Restaurant: breakfast is good and varied, buffet style and appears to cater for all tastes. Dinner is ok, nothing special except for the soufflé de Grande Marnier which is superb! There are plenty of small restaurants clustered around the harbour offering very good value alternatives. ||Port Vendres is a pretty working port curled around a harbour filled with pleasure boats. Much less touristy than neighbouring Collioure. ||Conclusion: Overall it’s a perfectly pleasant hotel but the noise from railway, road and port made it a disappointing choice for us personally, sadly. |
