Chambre mal isolée, autant dormir avec les voisins. Acceuil correct, mais une fois l’échange fait pas de volonté d’aider le client. Discours très peu courtois après avoir demander des explications.

Confort de proximité

établissement choisi à l'occasion d'une participation à un colloque et pratique pour sa proximité avec le réseau de circulation et avec le centre de Douai.Très bon accueil, chambre vaste (surclassée) et confortable, petit déjeuner très correct... tout serait parfait si ce n'est l'insonorisation qui n'épargne rien des rentrées tardives et bruyantes de pensionnaires peu soucieux de l'existence des autres clients. Par contre, aucune nuisance à signaler de l'extérieur.

Bon séjour malgré le bruit

Belle chambre mais les murs sont fins, le voisin du dessus a laissé fonctionner sa télévision pendant deux jours très fort jusque tard le soir. Hormis ce petit problème le séjour c'est très bien déroulé la chambre est très propre et confortable.Le personnel d'accueil et de ménage est très sympathique

Good

Stayed one night, very nice hotel, clean, near enough to town to find a good restaurant, good range of breakfast options though no cooked hot food. No noise problem at all a we had a room not overlooking either road. Can imagine it might be slightly noisier if facing the main road but even so, good glazing should deal with that. Bathroom needs towel rails fitted because as soon as you've used a towel there's nowhere to hang it apart from one tiny metal hook high up on a wall.

Décu

L'accueil est tout à fait chaleureux, en revanche la propreté de cet hôtel l'est beaucoup moins. Rideaux de douche sale en bas (marron) il faut peut être moderniser. Aussi comme à mon habitude j'inspecte le lit en arrivant mais l'alèse est sale plusieurs tache, poils et cheveux. Aussi les couloirs sont très bruyant la nuit ça malheureusement, l’hôtel n'y est pour rien, pas très reposant.
