“Uncomfortable stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here in May 2011 on a road trip through France. The room was clean & comfortable but our major concern was the toilet in the room. It was so small that it was impossible to sit down & close the door - we are both only 165cm - heaven help anyone taller.
A complaint to reception was met with typical Gallic indifference - no apology & not even an offer of another room.
How any hotel could expect this level of accommodation as suitable is beyond belief. It is beyond personal dignity to expect guests to endure this.
The location was convenient & within walking distance of the Saturday markets - most other needs were also within walking distance.

“So unpleasant we left before even checking in”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

My wife and I arrived for a 2 day stay. We met a gentleman ( who was later identified as the owner) at reception. We smiled and politely asked for our room. He glared at us and barked " Wait your turn!" shaking his head in an irritated manner.The other member of staff on reception had the decency to look horrified.. We left immediately and found great alternative accomodation nearby. Upon sharing this story with a friend from the area, he informed us that it is in fact a fine hotel (the good reviews being the reason why we had decided on the place) but well known for having thouroughly unpleasant staff. You have been warned..

Dear Sir!

The opinion of the clients who stay in our Hotel is really important to me: thus I want to answer to your comment that I have just read on this website.

First of all, I deeply regret for the experience you had when you arrived so as to book a room. It seems you didn’t receive the warmest of welcomes.
I am the Hotel Manager and sincerely, I have no recollection of the facts you pointed out. Moreover, you precise that I was standing at the hotel Reception desk at that moment, but I do not understand how you can have recognized me since we do not know each other.
As you may have noticed after reading the other comments about us on this website, I do not hesitate to answer when clients emphasize bad experience (only one except yours). But honestly, regarding you arrival by us, I think I am not the person who made your check-in.
Of course, it is not an excuse to what happened. I want to let you know that, at my command, all of our Staff has read your comment so as that it enables to improve our welcoming services. Besides, we question regularly our customers thanks to surveys (at their disposal in the rooms). It is quite a good way to consider problems fast (if there are some of course) and to bear it in mind. Our hotel is a human-sized family firm in which we make our best to give satisfaction in terms of welcoming and products: that is why your point of view touched each of us.
Knowing that you have friends in our Region, you will probably have the opportunity to come back to Bourges and I hope that you will book a room in our Hotel. Indeed, I would be grateful to discuss with you about your first experience and, hopefully, you will leave us with a better opinion.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours faithfully,

The Hotel Manager,
Jean-Michel DEVENAS


REPONSE EN FRANCAIS


Monsieur,


L’avis des clients qui séjournent dans notre établissement est très important pour moi, aussi je souhaite répondre à votre commentaire dont je viens de prendre connaissance.

En premier lieu, je suis désolé pour l’expérience qui fût la vôtre lorsque vous avez souhaité réserver une chambre dans notre hôtel. Il semble en effet que l’accueil qui vous a été fait n’ait pas été des plus chaleureux
Je suis le Directeur de l’hôtel et sincèrement, je n’ai aucun souvenir des faits que vous relatez dans votre avis. Par ailleurs, vous précisez que vous avez pu déterminer que j’étais la personne qui vous accueilli, mais je ne sais sur quelle base vous avez pu le faire alors que nous ne nous connaissons pas personnellement.
Ainsi que vous avez pu le constater en lisant les autres commentaires de ce site, je n’hésite pas à répondre lorsque je dois rendre compte d’expériences difficiles (une seule en dehors de la vôtre). Mais honnêtement, dans votre cas, je ne crois pas être celui qui vous a accueilli.
Ceci n’excuse pas les faits que vous énumérez pour autant et je tiens à vous faire savoir que, à ma demande, tout notre personnel a lu votre commentaire afin qu’il serve à améliorer notre accueil. De plus, dans cette optique, nous interrogeons tout au long de l’année nos clients à travers un questionnaire accessible dans les chambres. Cela nous permet de mesurer rapidement le moindre dérapage qui viendrait à se présenter et d’y remédier. Notre hôtel est une entreprise à taille humaine dans laquelle chacun s’implique à donner le meilleur en termes de satisfaction clientèle et de produits : c’est d’ailleurs pourquoi votre avis nous touche tous.
Puisque vous comptez des amis dans notre Région, vous aurez certainement l’occasion de revenir passer quelques jours à Bourges et j’espère que vous réserverez une chambre dans notre établissement. En effet, je serai ravi que nous discutions de votre première expérience dans l’espoir que, peut-être, vous repartirez avec une meilleure opinion.

Dans l’attente de vos nouvelles, veuillez agréer, Monsieur, nos sincères salutations.

Le Directeur,
Jean-Michel DEVENAS

“Excellent value for money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 October 2011

We stayed here for 5 nights whilst we were house hunting in the area. It's situated in a lovely cobbled street within very easy walking to the centre of town. We booked an executive room which was larger than the standard one. It was well equipped and decorated.

The hotel does not have a restaurant but there is a wide variety of eating places nearby. Breakfast is from 06.30 to 10.30 which allows for the early start and the lie-in! The staff were happy to help with any queries. Parking is free on the street outside. It's best to come back at the end of the day if you want a spot close to the hotel as it is busy during the day.

Would happily stay here again.

“Better than a chain hotel at a similar price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We stopped here on the way home from a holiday in the south of France. The hotel is located in a quiet cobbled street a short distance from the historic centre of Bourges. Our family room (2 double beds) was tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean, quiet, and the beds were very comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient. Le Christina is a great alternative to the out of town chain hotels at a similar price. We would definitely use this hotel again.

“great value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 August 2011

A town centre hotel in walking distance of the sights.
It is clean ,modern and comfortable. Breakfast was OK but a little busy as many of the guests wished to eat at the same time. Would I rebook ? yes!
