Booked into the hotel on a Sunday evening - reception staff very helpful. Room was clean, modern and reasonable in size with excellent double glazing. Flat screen TV available (French TV only). Ensuite small, but excellent shower.

No meals available but very good restaurant opposite the hotel, with a discount if you were staying at the hotel.

Breakfast next morning was adequate - bacon(greasy) and scrambled egg, cereals, yoghurts, croissants, various bread, jams, fruit juice, tea, coffee. Eat as much as you want for €5.95. Dining room was spotless. Checkout time is midday - which leaves plenty of time for a lie in if you want! Manager (I think) appeared to do everything but was pleasant and helpful.

Good for budget chain hotel.

A modern, clean and well-presented B&B Hotel (one of our favourite budget chains in France) with courteous staff. Badly let down, sadly, by the cooked breakfast this morning (29/5/10 at 0930) which was inedible. The breakfasts really do vary in B&B hotels -- the cooked food was almost cold. The 'scrambled egg' was a kind of loaf that presumably came out of a foil container? and dumped into the warmer. The choice of sliced bread for toasting was poor. Usually there is an unsweetened bread available but this morning there was a black bread and a sweet sliced white but nothing unsweetened. I suggest to B&B Hotels management that they smarten-up their act on breakfasts....they have the right idea, for sure, but they need to make sure their staff are trained to carry it out.

Please note: -- The high ratings I have given are for this CLASS of hotel. It is a 'formula' chain which suits our lifestyle and budget and the Evreux hotel (aside from the breakfast) was a good one.

We've had a bit of experience with budget hotel chains in france now, after several years doing the calais-med hike and the obligatory stopover. The b&b chain all seem to look considerably more inviting than many of the others (etaps often look like portacabins glued together, for instance!) and from the outside this place looks really quite smart. As others have said, it's fairly convenient for the main roads, too - although we did get a bit lost on the way in and Evreux is a strange place, the area near the hotel is miles of high rise social housing surrounding the biggest Lycee i've ever seen, designed in the style of a stalinist prison.

We'd booked (and had confirmed on our reservation printout) a king bed, non smoking room. The king bed thing was a massive plus as my partner is tall and we don't sleep well in a normal double. When we arrived at the room, it was obvious that it had been smoked in quite a bit, we should've gone straight back to reception and asked to move, but we were knackered from the day's driving and decided we'd live with it- there's nobody at reception overnight in these places anyway so we'd have had to run straight back there as they were about to go off duty.

Rest of the room was OK though - bathroom above average for budget places, with a good shower and nice fittings. More than one towel between us would've been nice.

However the king bed was definitely there (along with the only one almost flat pillow each which again seem to be standard in most french hotels. next year i'm bringing my own in the car...) so we went off to the Courtepaille (basically a Harvester, but just across the way) expecting a good night's sleep.

Not so - when we got into the bed later, it was absolutely the hardest bed i have experienced in my entire life. It felt like a plank with an inch of futon padding on the top. Neither of us could get to sleep - if i turned on my side, i got a dead arm in minutes. That was when the smoky smell really started to bother me too.

So, i won't be going to a B&B again - we're only using them for a few hours of unconsciousness on the drive, and as we didn't manage much of that, I won't be back.

This hotel is very clean, comfortable and ideal when travelling.
We found it to be quiet and breakfast was extremely good - even offering bacon and scrambled eggs!
No bar but there is a restaurant next door. There were also machines to purchase food to use in a microwave which was provided for anyone`s use.
One reason for choosing this B&B was the fact that the website stated secure parking but that wasn`t the case at all when we were there! We asked if the gates would be closed and locked but the receptionist told us that they were always left open!
Anyway, we had a safe, quiet and relaxing stay and would go again.
Forgot to mention that, although there is a bar near, you cannot buy a drink unless you order food at the same time.
