Frommer's Review

A winning choice in the city center, this hotel is a mere 5-minute walk from the sea. Built around 1910 in a neighborhood where the street names honor composers, the Gounod boasts ornate balconies, a domed roof, and an elaborate canopy of wrought iron and glass. The attractive lobby and adjoining lounge are festive and stylish, with old prints, copper flowerpots, and antiques. The high-ceilinged guest rooms are quiet and most overlook the gardens of private homes. The tiled bathrooms are small, mainly with shower units. Suites have safes. Guests have free unlimited use of the pool, cafe-bar, and Jacuzzi at the Hôtel Splendid, next door.

Facilities:
Bar; pool; gym; Jacuzzi; sauna; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
