Not Bad for the Price

The reception closes and you need a code to get into the hotel after a certain hour. No one told me this or gave me a code at check in. I had to hang around for another guest to let me in. They are extremely nice, but there seem to be a lot of loose ends that could be tightened up. Then again, at this price you have to expect some hiccups.

Excellent value for money at only €50 per night. Room was clean and comfortable and a generous continental breakfast. Very close to the SNCF station also. I thought it might be noisy but apart from some locals celebrating their rugby team winning a big game was quiet .

I liked the face it is right across the street from the train station. Next door was our car rental. How could that have been better. Receptionist didn't speak English and my French is not great but it didn't matter, and check in easy

Hotel La France was an efficiency stop. The price was reasonable but I would not recommend for more than an overnight stop en route.

Nice People - Food OK - accommodation poor

Our room was extremely small with an even smaller en suite "conversion" which had steps and a sliding partition. Completly unsuitable for us over 70's.

Great value for family stop over

If you want an hotel in the city centre with full 5* facilities then this isn't for you! If you want a good value, overnight stop-over (all be it on the outskirts of the city) then this is a very good option. Clean & tidy; Cheap & cheerful - what more would you want from an over-night, stop-over stay?

Passable

Passable pour une nuit, chambre propre mais à rénover, non insonorisée et mauvaise odeur. Prise électrique qui fonctionnait à moitié. Lumière du couloir très puissante qui passait sous la porte d’entrée de la chambre même en pleine nuit. Petit déjeuner cher et horaires tardives (le week-end du moins, non compatibles avec la prise de notre train). Rapport qualité prix laissant à désirer.

Propreté laisse vraiment à désirer

Accueil du personnel très bon. Par contre hôtel inaccessible, pas seulement aux fauteuils mais aussi aux mal marchants (des marches de partout), il ne faut vraiment pas être gros dans les salles de bains. Moquette de la chambre très sale au point qu'on n'ose rien poser dessus. Déjà la moquette c'est has-been et bourré d'acariens... Vive les sols carrelés ou plastiques faciles d'entretien !
