“budget place with great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 June 2007
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed one night in May 2007. Made reservations through website but felt a lot better by confirming arrangements by telephone. Front desk
is open 24 hours. Room can get really stuffy if the windows are shut.
It may be desirable to shut the windows if it gets windy outside and the shutters get slammed back and forth. There is no air conditioning
in these rooms so this place can be extremely miserable if it is warm
or hot outside. Very very thin walls. When you use the hairdryer, it can be heard and felt more than half way down the hallway. No shower stall, just a bathtub with sprayer hose and no curtain. 3€ per night gets parking in the secure parking courtyard which is a good idea in this highly touristed place. Location is just a stone’s throw away from the Beaune ramparts. Street is very happening at night, a bit on the noisy side. Breakfast costs extra. We never saw it but elected to go into town for breakfast. We prefer firm beds and slept okay.

  • Liked — very clean, great location, budget, secure parking
  • Disliked — curtainless/showerless bath, lack of ventilation, very thin walls

“Inexpensive, Greatr location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 March 2007

person found this review helpful

Stayed here for 2 nights while exploring the burgundy wines of France. The friendly staff speaks English. The hotel is a little older and out of date, but very clean. I did not like the shower because there was no curtain, and you must hold the shower head by hand while bathing. There were no electrical outlets in the room except for one by the ceiling which already has the TV plugged into it. The is a private pay parking lot on site. The location was great for exploring the wine cellars of Beaune. The price was good.

“Location good, ensure aircon is included if staying in summer”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2007

I stayed here 1 night in July while following the Tour de France (2006).

Sadly, it was one of the worst hotel nights of my life... if you're staying in summer ensure that your room has air-conditioning. Although it is advertised as a feature of the hotel, not all single rooms have air-con. They were also unable to provide a fan. As my room bordered on the parking lot, it seemed unwise to leave the window open as any passer-by could climb in, but it turned out to be too hot not to do so. Ultimately I wet some towels and spent the night lying on these, mostly awake, hoping that the sight of me perspiring madly and largely undressed would scare off any would be intruders.

So, that said, the hotel was otherwise fine. Room small, but not tiny or cramped. TV had French channels only. Room and bathroom were clean so no problems there. Breakfast was provided and was a typical continental (rolls, croissant, jam, etc.) which was fine. Location is good, just outside the old city but about a 3m walk from the hotel into the old city itself. If you want convenient, this place is fine; if you want quaint old city hotel experience, this is not the place for you.

Ignoring the air-con issue, this hotel would be fine. As I was there in summer, I got caught out and had a horrible stay, but if you are not staying in summer or are able to confirm air-con, I'm sure the hotel is a good option in its price category.

  • Liked — Location was good for Beaune.
  • Disliked — Aircon! Confirm, then double confirm that you've got aircon (in summer).
