The hotel is right by the station which for me is a bonus, but very quiet. A short walk to town. The room was pleasant with a nice bathroom. Ideal for a one night Stopover.

The hotel is situated close to the railway station but was surprisingly quiet. It is just a short walk from the town centre, restaurants and tourist facilities. The owners are very friendly and helpful and were able to recommend some excellent restaurants and which of the tourist sites to visit. The breakfast was also good.

We would stay there again.

We notified of an early arrival and the reception door opened as we approached. Breakfast was reasonable. Lovely to hear the birds in the morning.

Good hotel for the price

Since we booked at the last minute we didn't really have a choice. Staff was very nice and helpful, breakfast is ok for the price, location is perfect (right in front of the train station), surprisingly quite. Rooms are big enough and comfortable though not very clean (especially the bathroom), good water pressure (rare for France), the city itself is wonderful and definitely worth visiting. Make sure to have dinner at La Terrase restaurant - the best food I've ever had in France (and I live in Paris!) and really cheap prices

good value place , very handy for train station

it was a simple overnight stay but communication before and during our stay was good and helpful. Great location for train station and 10 mins walk into town with plenty of shops/ restaurants (except on Sundays when we stayed and most are closed - so do ask for local recommendations, it will save a lot of aimless wandering). The rooms were clean and comfortable with good showers. We'd all happily stay again
