Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were tiny and VERY dated, in desperate need of a sort out. The service was very apologetic and dealt with swiftly. Location was convenient for travellers passing through. Dining was good, but uninspiring. The facilities were decent.
The hotel had some drawbacks like small and humid rooms, with outdated furnishings. The AC was ineffective, and the on-site restaurant was pricey, but the Campanille next door was more welcoming and affordable. Overall, it didn't meet the standards expected of a 4-star hotel. However, the service was pleasant and welcoming, making the stay enjoyable after a long day of driving.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the location was convenient for our stop during our trips between Germany and Spain and the room had a luxury style, there were significant drawbacks such as small rooms that felt more like a 2-star hotel, and the price we paid wasn't justified by the amenities provided. The dining experience was good but hectic with limited staff on duty.
I stayed at the hotel during my trip between Germany and Spain and found it to be a convenient stopover, although a bit far from everything. The room was small but normal for a French hotel. The service was apologetic and dealt with issues swiftly, but there were long waits at times. The dining options were good, fresh, and in a lovely garden area. The location was a bit remote, situated between the motorway and exits, making access a bit challenging.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although not up to 4-star hotel standards, were acceptable even with ongoing renovations. However, they felt somewhat small, making it a bit challenging to move around. On the bright side, the service was friendly and accommodating despite some language barriers. The location was convenient for a stopover between Germany and Spain, but it was far from major attractions in Valence. The dining experience offered good quality food in a lovely setting. The facilities met basic needs but lacked any standout features.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with plush fabrics and efficient air conditioning, but the prices during tourist season may not align with the value provided. Despite some limitations, the tea and coffee making facilities add a nice touch to the room experience.
The hotel's rooms are very small and dated but in a calm area off the center of Valence. The service was apologetic but needs improvement, and the dining experience was good. The facilities were satisfactory, considering the price.
The hotel had very clean and well-equipped rooms, but they were smaller than expected. The service was friendly and helpful, though there were some delays in food service. The location was convenient next to the highway exit Valence Sud but a bit far from other attractions. The dining experience was good with fresh food options. The facilities were well-kept and functional.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. Despite the small rooms, the lack of noise from the highway was a relief. The service, while good in the hotel, fell short in the adjoining cafe during breakfast. The location was convenient for travelers passing through or exploring the nearby area. The dining options were satisfactory, offering a mix of good quality products. The facilities, though basic, served their purpose adequately.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room, although small, served its purpose for an overnight stay. Surprisingly, despite its proximity to the highway, there was minimal noise from passing vehicles. The room was equipped with air conditioning, tea and coffee making facilities, and a small fridge, but it did have a strong tobacco smell lingering.
