A éviter

Volet cassé. Télévision en panne (aucune information à ce sujet). Pas de climatisation donc obligé d’ouvrir les fenêtres car chaleur insupportable. Environnement très bruyant toute la nuit (cris, circulation, néon publicitaire), quartier peu rassurant. Lits inconfortables. Salle de bain vétuste et exiguë (pas d’espace entre wc et lavabo, baignoire dont le fond n’est pas stable). Appliques non raccordées. Parking à régler en plus (5 euros). Deux séjours étaient prévus initialement mais nous n’avons pas renouvelé l’expérience alors que notre deuxième séjour était déjà réglé (et non remboursable). Un mail a été envoyé à ce sujet à Hotel.com mais aucune réponse ni dédommagement.

We booked the wrong dates and tried to change. Hotels.com staff couldn’t change the booking as no one at the hotel spoke English. We tried via email and never got a response, so asked our French Airbnb hosts to call, hotel refused to do anything over the phone and said they would reply to our email. Never heard from them. Terrible customer service avoid like the plague

Confortable

Très bon séjour. Hôtel proche de la gare et des restos. Nous avons été très bien accueillis. Chambre confortable. Le petit bémol serait d’avoir un rideau ou une porte pour la douche même si elle est dans un renforcement, car étant avec des enfants ou des amis cela pourrait être gênant. Je recommande cet hôtel.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
L’accueil se fait par l’entrée d’un restaurant qui me semble faire parti de l’hôtel. Je n’ai pas eu de chauffage de toute la nuit, ainsi que de l’eau chaude qui a mis au moins 5 minutes à arriver. Le personnel désagréable quand on leur soumet notre problématique. J’ai fait l’erreur de ne pas regarder les avis sur Google qui sont catastrophiques. Je pense qu’il serait bien d’enlever de votre liste cet hôtel qui se permet en plus d’afficher deux étoiles. J’avais réservé pour deux nuits et je n’ai pas honoré ma deuxième nuit, j’ai préféré rentrer de nuit chez moi. C’est inadmissible que ce type d’établissement soit proposer par vos services surtout quand on parle de déplacements professionnels.
