Pros:

Gute Lage im Zentrum von Valenciennes, geräumiges angemessen ausgestattetes Zimmer, optimale Parkmöglichkeit in einem
garagengebäude, leider kein Restaurant mehr, Frühstücksbüffet für Frankreich ziemlich üppig.

zweckmässig
Pros:

Kann ich nicht genau sagen. Wir hatten nur ein eine Nacht. Die Betten waren waren in Ordnung. Frühstück war gut, wenn auch nicht sehr reichhaltig (für ein Grand Hotel)

Cons:

Das Hotel nennt sich Grand Hotel. Warum? war wohl für 100 Jahren angebracht. Heute fehlt leider sehr viel um diesen Titel gerecht zu werden.
Restaurant.. gibt es nicht. Bar .. Softdrinks und Flaschenbier. nicht mal Wasser. Parkplätze für 14,00 €/24 h vor den Haus. Wenn man selbst bucht an der Parksäule, diese ist auch auf deutsch, nur 3,50€ für 12 Stunden bezahlt.

Gutes Preis Leistung Verhältnis.
Pros:

Eingangshalle entspricht "Grand". Schönes Design.
Wir haben eine Suite bekommen. Größe der Räume war sehr gut. Ausstattung der Zimmer war gut, ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen, aber ok. Lage ist super zentral. Alles fussläufig erreichbar.

Cons:

Böden in den Fluren sind leider etwas abgenutzt. Nur ein Aufzug für die Gäste kann bei großen Gruppen zu langen Wartezeiten führen.

Pros:

Vintage Hotel im Stil der 30 ziger Jahre direkt am Bahnhof von Valenciennes. Sehr freundliches Personal und große Zimmer. Bett mit guter Matratze, großes Badezimmer, Frühstücksbuffet sehr gut, Parkplätze auf der Straße oder in der hoteleigenen Garage gegen Gebühr, Hunde sind willkommen.

Cons:

Abends teilweise Straßenlärm durch Betrunkene, da Nachtclub und Diskothek in unmittelbarer Nähe sind, Schranktür in unserem Zimmer war defekt und Kühlschrank / Minibar kühlte nicht richtig, ansonsten alles gut
