Good 2* hotel in Saintes
Basic hotel with good value and location in Saintes. Clean room and good beds. The owner is very friendly and wants to provide a good service.
Téléviseur ridiculement petit, une seul prise de courant, dans la chambre.Une baignoire, pour douche, en vis a vis d'une fenetre sans vitres opaques. Cheveux apparents dans le trop plein de bagnoire, toilette tres mal adapté dans la salle de bain. Petit déjeuné vaut le prix. Climatisation brutante mais fonctionne.
Chambre qui avais une odeur de renfermer, vu pas jolie du tout. Propreter nul, il rester de la nourriture sous le lit et sous les barre de chaffage et saleter bordure de fenetre.
Un peu loin du lieu où je souhaitai aller mais sinon très bien accueillis. Et accès hôtel facile. Salle de petit déjeuner très lumineuse. D'ailleurs, le petit déjeuner excellent. Tranquilité dans le lieu de Saintes.
Personne a l’accueil très sympathique, de bons conseils pour trouver un restaurant, la chambre familiale était propre et la sale de bain plutôt récente et spacieuse
Un excellent rapport qualité-prix ; une chambre très propre et un excellent accueil
seul petit bémol. il manque de prises électriques

Déçu
Un hôtel qui ferme la réception a 21h00.
Peut-être convenant pour voyageurs en famille, mais pas pour ce en voyage d'affaires.
Arrivé a 21h45, je rencontrais les portes fermés et du dormir dans la voiture.
Trés bon rapport qualité prix, propre, accueil sympathique, bon petit déjeuner, calme, proximité immédiate de la gare.
Quartier excentré, peu de solutions de restauration mais centre ville accessible à pied à environ 1km
