“Great location shame about the room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I and 2 dogs stayed here for 2 nights in December to see the Christmas market on our way home from the Limousin region. The location of the hotel is excellent right on the edge of the pedestrian area of this beautiful city. The receptionist was very helpful and spoke perfect english. We had pre-booked secure parking at the hotel which I would advise as the streets are crammed with parked cars. The hotel also has free WiFi and our dogs were welcome (at a cost), although not in the restaurant area. The only down side was the room. It was tiny with thin walls (yes we could hear conversations in the next room!) and just enough space to move around the bed once our suitcase was on the floor (nowhere else for it). The en suite shower room was equally small and felt a bit grubby. And for what it is worth the Christmas market was a big disappointment. Not many stalls and it was closed by 8pm and the streets deserted even on a Friday evening.

“A hotel for non demanding humans - kind proprietors and staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 August 2007

This hotel is basic - yes - with tiny bathrooms yes - but for those not spoiled by aircon etc, and whose priority is to explore the wonderful old town - it is perfect. You can walk to the famous Cathedral in less than 10 minutes. Stacks of cafes, shops and of course, atmosphere. The lady who runs the hotel could not be more helpful - her surname is Angel & she lives up to it. Such a friendly staff. Helped us practise our french with much good humour. I shall return. Oh, and there's easy parking too.

  • Liked — The location - so easy to walk into the old historic town
  • Disliked — Tiny loo - although I am the size of a small continent!

“great value for money and friendly too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2007

The welcome was wonderful. We hadn't booked but were able to get a room - after driving in circles around the one way system. The price is much better than the other hotels; it is very well situated and the staff are very friendly. The local restaurants were pointed out to me on a map and categorised by food type, there are many within walking distance. Decor is typical for a French hotel in this price band.
The hotel has a small enclosed car park at rear - it is advisable to book this in advance. There wasn't room for us in the car park but a member of staff moved his car from the on street parking so that we could park nearby - free evenings and on Sunday. As soon as a space became available in the car park we were given it.

  • Liked — friendly staff, location and price
  • Disliked — no satalite TV

“Badly needs upgrading”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2007

Arrived at the hotel and they denied all knowledge of the booking which had been made a month earlier. They had spare rooms anyway so we were able to check in. The room was very jaded and smelt musty although to be fair the bedding was reasonably clean. The bathroom was extremely smelly and also cramped.

On the plus side it was a quiet area and the staff were fairly helpful and friendly. If you are on a tight budget then this may be ok for you however I am sure we could have done far better without spending too much more.

Stayed July 2007

“Value for money - but tired”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2007

We stayed here on a short break in Rouen, not our first choice, but other hotels were already booked.On the plus side the staff were friendly and helpful, the room was quiet and the beds clean and comfortable and the hotel was within walking distance of Rouen town centre. Unfortunately the room and hotel decor was very dated and a bit dingy, the room generally needed some attention. The ensuite was small, poorly lit and suffered from mould. Towels were clean and changed daily, though. A value-for-money hotel - but be prepared to make some allowances.

  • Liked — Quiet location. friendly staff, clean beds and linen
  • Disliked — Run down room, small and mouldy ensuite bathroom
