We spent a night here on the way back from our holiday, and the accommodation was fine, if just a little soulless. Both the reception staff I dealt with were very pleasant and helpful. The one bed apartments have a small kitchen with 2 hotplates, a microwave, a sink and a reasonable sized fridge with an icebox inside. You will not be able to conjure up a gourmet meal here, there is not a lot of work surface, but for making something simple it's absolutely fine. Washing up liquid,a scrubber and a tea towel were all provided. The kitchen and the apartment were modern and in good condition, and there were plenty of plates, cutlery etc provided.

The lounge was a reasonable size and with some modern furniture - a little soulless as I say, perhaps another picture or two would have helped but it was fine, with several lamps about. There was a flat screen tv, a sofa bed which was good and comfortable, a couple of single chairs. We had to eat at the desk. The bedroom was very nice with a big and very comfortable bed. There were three of us - for two people these would be very nice with the separate bedroom. We had a room at the back, which was probably a bit quieter than the ones at the front, but they all had double glazing, external wooden shutters and then internal curtains so they are probably all right too.

Secure parking under the building is available for 5 euros a night, but be aware it is only 1m 90cm high so you won't get in if you have a roof box. The receptionist said the area was safe where we parked outside, we were a bit dubious but had no problems. It is quite difficult to find due to the one way system, but follow the signs to the Etap and the Suitehotel and you will be within a couple of streets of the Residhome. The area is undergoing some regeneration. Finally, please be aware that the Place Stanislas is quite a distance away - I was under the impression it was just around the corner from here, but my husband went out for an explore and said you would need to catch the tram which stops nearby to get there.

I would happily stay here again,
