As the previous reviewer said, this is very difficult to find from the motorway, even with the map they provide. The Kyriad and the Campanile are signed off the main road (N44), but then there are no further instructions and the map seems to suggest you are already there. Our advice is to follow the sign off the main road, then turn right at the end of the small road. Follow that road round to the left and then to the right, then eventually the Kyriad is in front of you and the Campanile is to its right.

This is a new addition to the Campanile chain, but be aware that it is in an old building rather than being a newly-built structure. The result is that it is a bit tired, and is also not in the usual Campanile style. Instead of the rooms leading off balconies, there is an internal corridor with the rooms off either side of it. This means a lot more noise than in other Campaniles. The main problem we had with this Campanile, though, is that the room smelt of drains, the smell seeming to come from the bathroom. The room itself and the bathroom were also very small, even by Campanile standards. On the positive side the bed was comfortable and the shower was good. The staff were also friendly and helpful.

We ate an evening meal which was OK (we have stayed in many Campaniles, and have had both better and worse). The breakfast was good, a slightly smaller selection of items than we are used to, but it was good quality (especially the french bread and the marmalade).

It was OK for one night, but given that it costs more than the other Campaniles in Reims, and yet in many ways is not as good, we will probably select one of the other ones in future.

The hotel is located in rather a strange location, in a light industrial looking area, and was hard to find off the main road (despite having written directions from their own web site). The road to take off the main N44 looked more like an alleyway, but it opened out a little at the end.

The hotel is strictly no-frills, and the room was small but clean. The bed was comfortable, and the room included a very small television, a coffee maker, a desk and couple of chairs, and the tiniest bedside ‘cabinet’ (more a box) I’ve ever seen! The ensuite bathroom was small, but clean and everything was in working condition. The room was warm, and there was no air conditioning, and since we were on the ground floor we did not want to leave the window open, since somebody could enter fairly easily. The passageways smelt a little musty.

The restaurant was fine – the same as you always tend to get with a Campanile, with a choice of meals off the menu or from the buffet. Breakfast was not included, and was 7.20 Euros for a smallish choice of cold items, served in a small side room. Only one of us bothered with the breakfast.

Overall I would say that this hotel was perfectly fine for what we wanted – a one-night stopover on the way to somewhere else. I wouldn’t really have wanted to spend any longer here, but would consider it again for another one-night stay.
