Staying at this hotel was a bad choice. My room was moldy, you could smell it when you walked in and smell it in the sheets. You could see where they painted over the mold around the shower, but there was also mold on the wall where you hang up your towel. The air conditioning didn't work and I would... More

Nice chalet structures that cater for most your needs, all the fixtures and fittings were in good order an working, although my collegue was less fortunate and his chalet would not lock... Wifi also fast and stable.. I found the location also good for working at the space station, close and a good road right to the front entrance.

The hotel is located next to Devil's Lake, so in the rainy season you might get some pesky mosquitos (keep that in mind, so bring bug repellant). And that is actually the only negative point to this hotel. Reception is helpful and friendly. The rooms are spacious and have very good airconditioning, which is a big plus in this part... More

I was travelling on business and had work to do at the space centre. The Ariatel was better than I had expecting. The air condition works well and the rooms are in the 20 C region. This is really welcoming after a day working outside, and easy to sleep at night. The free wi-fi works well, the rooms were clean,... More

We stayed here because we wanted to see the space center, and the Roches was full. That was a happy circumstance, as the Mercure was absolutely great. The pool is large, has a real deep end, and is spotlessly clean. It's great for swimming laps for exercise or just lounging and splashing around. The food at the restaurant is outstanding.... More

I stayed there this summer for a month, as this hotel (which received it's 4th star while I was there) caters to the European Space Agency, and the various companies that launch out of FG. Pros: This is about the best place in town, Two-Zone AC a big plus. The bed is in good condition, much better than I expected.... More

The hotel consists of a number of single storey units, each containing 4 rooms. I found the standard of cleanliness to be excellent; the facilities excellent; the food very good. Many of the staff do not speak any English, which I found to be a bit of a problem: but then it's the same in many parts of France. However,... More

This hotel, although small apartments rather than rooms, is not worth the rates - twice as high for the same standard of accomodation at a similar (Mercure) hotel in Europe. The reason for this is the captive market of business people travelling for launches at the nearby space center - and for a time was the only choice as the... More

I don't want to blame the owners for the average to poor quality of this hotel, because I can imagine it must not be easy to offer excellence in a remote corner of the world like this.
