After reading some of the other reviews (on free hotel WiFi) I'm convinced we've had a lucky visit to the hotel.

We arrived having booked with a major travel website to be told that we had no booking. I was able to produce the confirmation email (thank goodness) and they took a photocopy and offered us a choice of rooms - we took room 210 with its 2 single beds, large window balcony with river views and a small ensuite with shower over bath. My only criticism is that the beds could have been firmer. We also saw 215 which had a double bed and seemed ok, just smaller and nothing resembling the river view that we paid for.

Breakfast perfectly nice with the normal European selection of croissants, bread with cheese and meats as well as some hot items.

Plenty of free parking outside the hotel and a pretty central location, sat just under the castle.

Recommended for room 210!

The hotel is situated in a comfortable position and has a very useful parking in front of it.
Anything else i could say about "Best Western La Porte De France" is rubbish.
We reserved a room on BOOKING.COM and were placed right under the roof, paying €80/night to sleep in one of the worst "hotel rooms" i've ever seen.
The tropical temperature, though it was a cold August outside, was the last problem. The room was incredibly tiny (look at the pictures) and i always had to mind my head while "moving around". Forniture ridiculous and not useful at all (you can't use chairs or desk: there is no room to sit down!). You can't pee like a man is supposed to in the bathroom: there isn't enough space to stand up.
I can't say the room was clean at all. We found hair and holes on pillows and sheets, which is always such a pleasure! Moreover, it seems they're growing spiders up there...very big spiders everywhere.
They say you can have free wi-fi in the structure, no need to say i didn't find any line on that attic.
We had dinner in the restaurant, and my girlfriend had an aunt in her salad. I swear.
The best happened the day after when we went downstairs to have breakfast: after being asked our room number, we were not allowed to have breakfast with the other "normal" hotel guests, but were sent, in front of everybody, to the coffee room with different (lame) pottery and cuttleries, which i asked to change for being incredibly old and dirty. It was only 9 o'clock, but just enough to spoil the whole morning.
Nobody speaks english of course, we are too close to France: they only speak French.
Can't say anything about the other floors' rooms, but my experience with this hotel was very upsetting: wouldn't advice it to anyone.

I've stayed at dozens of hotels worldwide, never have I been in such a small room/closet. Simply tiny, I could hardly move in it, had to pay attention not to bump my head. Obviously no closet in the room as there wasn't any place. I think the pictures speak for itself. Towels nor soap were added to the bathroom after the first night.

Restaurant was closed the two days I was there. The second day I skipped breakfast. The first morning I got a boiled egg, some jam, a small cup of choco paste and a few hard sandwiches (not even one slice of cheese or ham). Seriously, this was the poorest breakfast I've ever had in a hotel. The coffee was instant (yuk!), I still tasted it three hours later.

At noon I had a 'vol au vent' with french fries in their brasserie, the vol au vent (chicken) wasn't even properly warmed up. If you go out in the evening after 6 or 7pm don't forget the code to get in or you'll have to sleep on the street (no staff later than 7pm). This hotel gets a 4 star rating on some sites, that just makes me laugh. This is de facto a 2 star property.

Bouillon is a lovely little holiday town built along the banks of the river and this hotel appears to have been there for many years and the style of decor reflected this. Our room was small, adequate and clean. However the toilet was positioned in such a way that it had to be used sideways! Dinner in the restaurant was excellent, but choice at breakfast was somewhat limited. The last surprise came at checkout when I was given a handwritten bill and receipt.
