Le Clos Chez Michel

Michel is an excellent and attentive host who has created comfortable bedrooms and a lovely garden in a very central location within an easy walk to the town centre. The breakfast was great, with homemade marmalade from the orange tree in the garden, plus excellent coffee. Being able to use the shared kitchen with fridge was great, as was having two chairs in the bedroom - quite rare in hotels, let alone chambre d'hote!

Driving to the property through Montpellier's one-way system was challenging! Michel's address does not get you to the right location (with Via Michelin or Waze) but once we identified the road at the side of his property we were able to drive there with no further problems.

Michel was an excellent host who made the extra effort to ensure his guests felt comfortable. He provided extensive tips on where to eat and what to do, and put on a fantastic spread for breakfast with delicious homemade marmalade from the oranges in his delightful courtyard. His dedication is really shown from the world map hung in the kitchen which he uses pins to represent the places all his guests call home - such a great tribute to his guests and a wonderful conversation starter! Thank you Michel for a lovely stay.

Could not fault anything.

The B&B is very close to the center. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable. Michel is great, we had very nice conversations, he is very friendly and nice. The breakfast was great and the homemade orange jam was a wonder. Cannot say enough times what a great host Michel is.

The fact that you have to share the bathroom might be uncomfortable, it wasn't in our case given the guest set up and we cannot complain since we were aware that this was the situation.

Location very convenient to train station. Owner was very helpful and accommodating in letting us check in early and providing continental breakfast at the hour we needed it. Room was very clean and well furnished, and bathroom was absolutely beautiful. We were so happy to have A/C in our room because the weather was extremely hot during our stay.

Due to the hot weather, breakfast room was a bit stuffy and the tables in courtyard did not seem to be an option either. We also needed to keep our shutters closed most of the time to keep the sun/heat out. I don't think this is the normal situation though!

Excellent breakfast, access to kitchen to use facilities to make a hot drink or collect cold bottled water from the fridge. Was also able to use the fridge to store food for our journey the next day. Lovely well kept garden to sit and relax in. Brilliant location for centre and train station. There is a lovely bar, ‘L’Original‘ restaurant about 100 meters away. We had a very good lunch and returned there in the evening to see a jazz band that where performing. Lovely staff and well worth a visit.

Personally I found the bed a bit too firm, but my husband slept very well.

It’s on the quiet side of the train station so the area is residential and within 5min walk to station Clean, I mean it’s really clean and tidy. One room is en-suite and the others 2 are not , so you need to check before booking. ( I was a bit concerned reading previous reviews) Well equipped kitchen and great breakfast

Lack of indoor common space, as it is an owner occupier property. No washing machine

Michel has done a superb job of restoring a historic property with all the modern comforts and a nice sense of design. Our in-suite bathroom was almost as large as the bedroom. We enjoyed chatting with our gregarious host as well as touring the beautiful courtyard garden and learning about Michel’s use of sustainable irrigation techniques. Location excellent for St Rich train station.

Very clean and convenient location (1 minute walk from the train station, and a short walk to the city center), very friendly and helpful owner with great tipps e.g. for bike rental and flexibility regarding a somewhat earlier check-in and keeping luggage for a few hours after check-out. Overall a nice stay and pleasant experience!

Nothing

The location is absolutely perfect if you are visiting Montpellier by train because the train station is so close. Nevertheless, it is very calm. Michel is super friendly and we were even able to check-in early. The breakfast had everything we needed and the bathroom was very clean. It was also interesting to talk to Michel and learning a lot about France - thank you! :) We definitely recommend this place!

Bed and breakfast is very cozy and beautiful. Located close to the old city center and the the train station. Breakfast was great and the host is so cheerful and nice to talk to. Thank you for our stay, we fall in love with the city.
