Pas du tout insonorisé !

Bonjour, il est très rare que je fasse des remarques lors de mes nombreux voyages, dans beaucoup d’hôtel en France… Mais là je tenais quand même à souligner que les chambres de cet hôtel, du moins celle que j’avais, n’était pas du tout isolé du couloir ! Pour preuve en photo … résultats, lorsque plusieurs personnes, apparemment légèrement alcoolisé, car il parlait très fort, son rentré vers 1h du matin. Cela m’a réveillé, car j’avais l’impression qu’ils étaient limite dans ma chambre vu le bruit ! À part ça c’est très calme, et j’ai très bien dormi. un petit bémol tout de même sur la salle de bain, qui est tellement riquiqui, qu’on ne peut même pas s’y essuyer…

Disappointing

We stayed overnight on our way home to the UK. Unfortunately the hotel reception was closed when we arrived & we had to phone a number posted on the door. This went to voicemail so we had to leave a message. Fortunately someone turned up within 10 minutes. The checkin was rather rudimentary & rushed. Despite the hotel description stating that it had a bar & lounge, these were not open that evening & no staff were present in the hotel. The Bistrot de Quai, which we were recommended to try for dinner, was extremely lucky to get the last two seats at the bar setting. It would have been helpful to be warned about this. The room was tiny, as was its shower room. It was quiet and the bed was comfortable. The lady who provided breakfast was charming & helpful. The food itself was plentiful & good quality. I wouldn't want to stay more than one brief night at this hotel.

The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. The buffet breakfast was great. The room was perfect for my 3 night stay, quiet and comfortable. There were a couple of minor things I would have liked but not essential: a larger waste bin in the room itself, there was a small one in the shower room. An English speaking TV channel would have been great, my French isn't good enough to understand!
