We arrived in Arras late in the afternoon and most of the hotels were full. The Hotel Moderne was available at a reasonable price. The room was a bit small, and since it looked out on to the square next to the train station, it was a bit noisy - but wasn't too bad. The room and bathroom were clean and the breakfast was pretty standard, with good service.
On check in the clerk was very friendly and helpful (spoke English). The location of this hotel was great for our needs. Near train station, the main squares, and there are many restaurants nearby.
If you are driving, take advantage of the underground parking about two blocks away. If you want to park over night, take a ticket upon entry, park, then take it to the attendant. You will be charged a flat rate of 8 Euros for 24hrs rather than the hourly rate. I had to speak french, as the attendant spoke no English.
Overall this place met our needs. It was convenient, clean, friendly, and easy to find being located next to the train station. I'd definitely stay there again.
