Excellent stay. I was only there one night unfortunately but after walking 10 km to watch the European cycling championships I was grateful for the very comfortable bed and excellent pillows. I had a great sleep😁. All of the staff that I interacted with were friendly and professional. Definitely hoping to return for a longer stay.

Had a great 2 night stay. The room was small but adequate space and very clean and I loved that there was a counter in the bathroom to put toiletries on. Staff was very kind. Parking was easy through the gate behind the hotel and everything felt very safe. Location is excellent, right in the heart of downtown Valence close to all the restaurants and shops, was very easy to pop out for a late dinner the night of our arrival.
