“Good hotel, conveniently located near the train station and main street of Rue de Siam”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012

The facade of the hotel doesn't do it justice. On first glance this quaint hotel looks like a cheaper grade hotel that caters to bus loads of tourists. However, upon entering its main doors, my partner and I were greeted by a warm and attentive receptionist who was helpful in providing information and recommendations for food and attractions.

Rooms were on the small side, but again most hotels in France or even Europe are. This was compensated by a plush double bed, one of the best beds I've slept in during my trip. The heaters worked well and the double glazed windows kept out the noise from the main street below.

If you are coming by train and carrying heaps of luggage or a huge backpack, this is definitely a star hotel as the train station is right next door. Close to it are restaurants, bars,pharmacies and most importantly the tourist information centre.

Streetside parking right infront of the hotel is free from 1800hrs till 0900 the next day and if you can't get a spot outside the hotel, there is a large public carpark right across the the street.

Overall a pleasant stay!

“First trip to France made easy”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 October 2011

I spent three days at this hotel on my first trip to France. There are a variety of rooms varying in size and I was fortunate to obtain a great room on special. They are a little dated but good value for money. Close to the train and bus stations, maritime museum, bars and shops it is ideally located. Every staff member I met spoke English and were very helpful giving tips on how to find my way around and how to get the best out of the bus service making my first trip to France for a non French speaking tourist easy.

Room Tip: I had a room on level 3 facing the main road there are shutters to cut out the noise and light that...

“Small rooms but a great welcome”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 September 2011

The Abalys is well located next to the train station. The rooms are dated and on the small side with cramped bathrooms. However, they offer tea and coffee-making facilities and have UK plugs in addition to the French ones. The members of staff are helpful and welcoming. Two computers with Internet access and a wide choice of magazines can be consulted in the lobby. The breakfast offers a wide range of local products and good quality jams.
