We picked this hotel on the basis of the Trip Advisor top rating, and are delighted to confirm that the rating was wholly justified. It is a very comfortable, small private hotel with spacious rooms. Beds were excellent, and bathroom, with modern shower cubicle, more than adequate. The hotel has been largely modernised, although the splendid old world lobby and delightful dining/breakfast rooms were a real pleasure to behold. The hotel had its own enclosed open air parking lot across the road at a very reasonable price.
If there was one limiting factor during the fortnight we stayed, it was the rather restrictive local timetable, which required breakfast to be taken between 7 - 9am - hardly ideal for relaxed holidaymakers.
As a compensation, however, I must give due credit to the new owners of the hotel, who could hardly be more friendly, generous and helpful in every way. Even our two little dogs were delighted!
Thank heavens this was not just another commercial stopover, but a place we would definitely return to, right in the heart of Vichy. A definite favourite!
