Hotel La Ponche

Luckily we only booked for one night. Whilst the location is convenient and the hotel unique/boutique in its setting, please be aware that this is not a hotel but 3 very old townhouses merged together. The style and design of the rooms are lovely, with a cute old charm with modern touches and quality details. The staff are friendly enough, especially John who helped park our car and took our luggage. The streets are very narrow and not designed for cats and the parking is 100 metres away from the hotel, not a problem and John will guide you. Our issues started with the room we were given (7) which is directly above the reception and hotel entrance, which is direct onto the street. We were unable to get any sleep as we could hear guests and the staff leaving the hotel between 02am-04am. Also theres a a swinging/revolving old door that the staff use that makes loud banging noises which we could hear all night. If you are a light sleeper or staying for more than 1 night I would recommend a different hotel or ask for a quieter room. The other gripe, was with breakfast, when paying 520 EUR for the room (March 2025 out of season with everything still closed) and another 65 EUR for breakfast we expected a good selection for breakfast. What you are offered is a breads basket, a slice of cake, coffee/tea and juice. No options just this. They then give you an 'a la carte menu' with options for eggs, fruits, granola, bacon/sausage/mushrooms etc which are all priced 10-15 Euros etc each item. This to me is unacceptable, as you end up paying 120 EUR for breakfast each day! This caused a lot of problems for the staff and you could see other guests equally annoyed. If you are going to offer a 5 star boutique hotel and you are charging these prices, at least offer a full breakfast option for the 65 EUR you are already charging. We were told when checking out that other guests had complained about the banging staff door when trying to sleep, but the reception also said we should expect noise during the night because St Tropez is busy and lively (agreed but not out of season in March!) Good luck if you are staying May-Sept. All in all, we really wanted to like this hotel, however we cannot recommend it for the price, difficulty sleeping and an overly complicated, expensive and annoying breakfast service. Likes - Friendly staff especially the guys helping out for check-in and luggage, shout out to John.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel La Ponche. The hotel is wonderful - beautifully decorated, it has real charm with luxurious rooms that are full of personality and the history of the hotel. The service from the staff is excellent - from transporting us from the car garage to the hotel in their own Tuk Tuk to being shown our amazing room (which had been kindly upgraded to one with a balcony and sea view), every staff member was lovely and welcoming. Our whole stay was perfect, we couldn't have stayed anywhere better to explore beautiful Saint Tropez and we look forward to visiting again in the future!

My only negative the rooms are small Other then that my stay was excellent! The best part was the over the top service. Staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable! From the moment we drove in they took our car, brought in all our luggage and were always available with any questions. A special shout out to the concierge Ms Raphaele who worked tirelessly to secure reservations on a busy weekend because we had done no planning whatsoever. Also the location could not be beat. Right in the middle of shops and restaurants and also near the water. Thank you La Ponche staff We had a wonderful time :)

NOT a Five star hotel! They have to scam their customers to make money because they know it is not worth what they are charging and no one would ever stay here twice. They did not have the courtesy to confirm reservation that was booked 3 months out, and then proceeded to charge the full amount for a two night stay that we never made it for. With todays technology there is NO excuse for that, especially if you claim to be a 5star hotel. Had they taken the time to reconfirm or send a courtesy email saying they were looking forward to our staying there, we would have cancelled! Instead they took the full two nights charge without batting an eye-which is highly over priced!!! Instead we stayed at Hotel Sube- definitely recommend!!! Not only did we get a courtesy email prior to our arrive, their location, room and service were all impeccable! (And at nearly half the price!!) Their concierge service was amazing. Every wish we had was granted and with a smile. Do NOT waste your money at Hotel La Ponche…. Stay a Hotel Sube instead. You’ll be so glad you did.

Staff take more than three hours to clean room even guest is in hotel.just saying wait. Even guest reached after a long journey should avoid this hotel to stay.no one here to ask for water. At 1 pm they said room is vacant and in cleaning. After 2 hours front desk manager says our check in time is 4 even not mentioned in their booking.

We stayed here for 4 nights in June. The hotel is very small and old but completely updated. The location is great as it is near the port and walkable to most locations in town. The staff is great.The hotel has an active restaurant that we did not eat at and a bar that is very expensive even for Saint Tropez prices.
