The Originals City, Le Mas des Arcades, Perpignan (Qualys-Hotel)

The staff was very helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, the food in the restaurant was excellent.

I chose the hotel because it is a short walk from the university which was convenient for me, but it is situated in an uninteresting suburban shopping area - no mediterranean charm at all.

The spaces for sitting; the pool and surrounds;terrace dining; a comparatively large room with excellent bathroom; general design and ambience.

The location was off putting. No opportunity strolling out in the evening. Information on buses not always accurate, though we used them once we got a timetable from the tourist office. Hotel menu limited for dining and few local alternatives.

Professional and friendly staff. Excellent food and good outside eating area overlooking pool and mountains
