Situation idéale pour profiter et visiter Saintes
Accueil agréable, séjour confortable, idéal pour visiter Saintes car situé en plein centre près de la cathédrale mais prenez soin de réserver votre place de parking car le nombre de places est limité

Suite au delà de nos attentes. Salle de bain avec bain à remou alors que nous attendions qu’une douche. Petit bémol sur la propreté des joints de carrelage qui m’ont mis mal à l’aise. Ils sont jaunis, il faut se mettre à la place de la personne dans le bain et voir ce qu’elle voit. Malgré cela nous reviendrons mais avec un produit et une éponge.

Bien sauf pour le parking
L'hôtel est bien situé, en plein cœur de la ville. Le prix est honnête. On voit que c'est un vieil hôtel mais ça va . Cependant il n'y a pas d'ascenseur, et si on prend une place au parking, il faut être parti à 11h ! Plutôt embêtant quand on veut visiter la ville...

Arrived Sunday afternoon, all lights in reception were off and felt very unwelcoming. No heating in room was very cold. Was told would turn thermostat up but made no difference. Radiators cool, room cold. Unpleasant damp smell in bathroom.
