Pros:

L'accueil agréable avec la possibilité d'arriver la nuit
l'ascenseur, le croissant croustillant mais malheureusement, pas de possibilité d'avoir un oeuf au petit déjeuner
Pour ceux qui viennent en train, c'est juste en face de la gare
le parking gratuit de la gare, sinon c'est 11€ par jour dans l'hôtel

Cons:

la taille minuscule de la douche ... mais ça ne pourra pas être changé! Une personne très ronde ne pourrait pas bouger ou rentrer dedans...

An ideal stay in a lovely town
Pros:

Ideal location: very near the station but quiet and not too far to walk to town.
Friendly and helpful welcome.
Very comfortable and clean room with added bonus of a pleasant balcony.

Everything was perfect.
No kettle in the room but a flask of boiling water was kindly provided on request.
Merci pour tout!

Situé à côté de la gare mais très calme.
La literie est impeccable et l'hôtel très propre.
La dame de l'accueil a été très gentille

Although only one night we had an excellent stay at the Hotel de France.
Pros:

Great location, just a short walk from an excellent restaurant recommended by the staff, a little bit further into town but still an easy walk. Location was very quiet and room had a balcony and air conditioning. Beds were very comfortable and shower was very good. Had a secure garage but could only be opened by staff during their normal hours. Host was very accommodating for our need for an early start and laid out breakfast for us.

Cons:

Some form of access to the garage out of hours might have been useful if staying for longer but it wasn't a problem for our one night stay. I can understand the need to prevent other vehicles being blocked in and there appeared to be on street parking if required nearby.

Bien pour un passage
Pros:

Proche centre avec possibilité de se garer dans la rue. C’était calme malgré la gare à côté. Petit déjeuner bon avec de bonnes viennoiseries et du pain frais

Cons:

Chambre étroite, lit petit pour 2, salle de bain wc très étroit.

Aceptable para pasar una noche y visitar la ciudad.
Pros:

Habitación aceptable en general. Baño limpio y bien distribuido, a falta de poca luz en la cabina de ducha. Lencería un poco floja.

Cons:

No estaba en funcionamiento el ascensor, lo cual, considerando que la escalera está construida la francesa, con peldaños triangulares y sin descansillo resulta inconveniente y peligroso para subir y bajar equipajes a las plantas superiores. Como se manejan con carritos de niños y personas en silla de ruedas?

Great hotel which I would stay in again.
Pros:

The room was really nice and clean and best of all on a baking summer day was the air-con. The location was quiet.

Cons:

The hotel is a little remote from the town centre which might not be ok for everyone.
