Pros:

Quel genre d'hôtel vous vertit des horaires de sa réception plus d'un mois après la réservation - le jour de votre arrivée ?
Quel hôtel délocalise son petit déjeuner ailleurs (la photo est celle d'un autre établissement, il n'y aucune salle dans l'Hôtel de France !!!)
Enfin ça aurait pu passer avec un peu d'eau chaude...

Bon sejour en famille.
Pros:

Manque un peu de rénovations, en effet les chambre sont assez "vieillotte".
Cepandant les chambres sont propres et salle de bain aussi.
Il manquerai juste une petite table pour poser ses affaires.
Les petits déjeuners sont copieux et il y du choix (sucrée/salées), par contre ils se prennent dans l'autre hotel.

Pros:

The check in was actually at a different hotel across the road (and a much nicer one at that).

My room was basic, though clean and the bed was comfortable.

The problem was that the building was very old and had no soundproofing. I was on the 1st floor, so I could hear every noise (including all movement, etc.) from the upper room, which was very disturbing for my sleep. It also sounded structurally unsafe due to the creaky floorboards (even though it was probably fine

Pros:

Pas d’accueil il faut aller à un autre hôtel à 500m pas prévenu à l’avance c’est la surprise en arrivant pas de parking comme prévu à la réservation pas de wifi non plus alors que ces services sont payés chambre dans les combles avec un fort bruit de vmc qui vous empêche de dormir tache de sang sur le dessus de lit appliques cassés porte serviette qui tombe impossible d’y poser les serviettes et enfin au moment de la douche la porte en verre met tombé sur le pied de plus c’est pas la chambre réservée puisque la facture ne correspond pas au prix payé cette chambre est à 10€ de moins

Pros:

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL.
Arrived to find the building looking near derelict with paper stuck over the inside of the ground floor windows, no pavement outside the reception door (just mud), the reception door was locked but with a notice saying that reception was at a different hotel. This hotel was just around the corner but only found that out after putting the address into my sat nav.

Went to this other hotel where they eventually confirmed our booking and told us our room was in the Hotel de France but parking and restaurant was at this hotel. We were given a key and a code to enter the building. After dragging our cases from one place to the other and through the mud, got into the building. The reception desk was there but the place was deserted and did not appear to have any staff present at all.

The room had no heating and the hot tap and shower had to be run for a good 10 minutes before the water started to get warm. I appreciate that hotels usually fit a mattress protector to the beds but this one felt like it was made from a creased plastic sheet so sleeping on it was like sleeping on an uninflated air bad.

The following morning was awoken by the sound of construction machinery and upon attempting to exit the building found workmen digging up the kerbstones and the remains of the mud outside the only exit door.

This hotel should not be taking bookings while in this state and, with the complete lack of any staff on site, I suspect it may even be illegal.

Outside looked like an abandoned property
Parking was in one place reception in another,
When I arrived asked to see property to see if it really was a hotel.
Inside was ok, no shower curtain still under a state of remodel.
Wouldn’t recommend or stay here again

Pros:

Hotel de france was under renovation. We were given a room in Hotel Arina. Good size room for family, clean and spacious. There was no aircondition in the room. It was a very warm day. It was noisy when the window was open. There is a rail track runing next to the hotel. There was no walkin shower, but shower handle in the bath tub but with no atrached shower curtain to the bath tub. It is more of a traditional home style rather than a modern hotel.

Great hotel in charming French town
Pros:

We had an amazing time at this comfortable hotel. We traveled as family four, the space was clean and well maintained. We appreciated the two spacious bedrooms, and spacious living areas. We would stay here again, one block away were tons of restaurants and a grocery. The breakfast served at the hotel was delicious.

Pros:

Zum Glück haben wir nur für 1 Nacht auf der Durchreise gebucht. Die Einrichtung unseres 4-Bett Zimmers war alt und verbraucht/teilweise kaputt, dazu auch nicht sauber (z.B. Haare auf der Bettdecke). An den Wänden und im Badezimmer gab es Schimmel und einen sehr unangenehmen Geruch! Im Obergeschoss an den Betten der Kinder waren die Lese-Lampen mit Klebeband befestigt und die Stromkabel lagen offen.
Positiv: das Personal ist nett und das Frühstück im benachbarten/zugehörigen Hotel Ariane war gut!

Pros:

Struttura in pessime condizioni,muffa ovunque, sulle pareti, sui letti...puzza nauseabonda proveniente dal bagno..lenzuola sporche e ammuffite.. ragni sul letto. Insomma la struttura è abbandonata a se stessa. Vi consiglio di starne lontano. Pessima.
