We stayed here for several nights, opposite the river Meurthe, in the town of St. Die, Des Vosges, north/eastern France. Helpful staff on arrival, small, but ample bedroom space. All clean/tidy. Breakfast was ample too and relaxing. A good central base to work from within this hilly region (famous for being part of the Tour De France). Cafes/bars are close by (one's next door). Nice riverside walks to be had and an American style bowling alley is a 10 - 15 minute walk to the east. War memorials are a short walk to the west. We had a good stay.

“Some disappointing aspects considering the price”

We have just spent 5 nights in north & east France in 5 different hotels, all of ‘apparently’ similar quality and the comparison has been quite interesting.

We have just spent 5 nights in north & east France in 5 different hotels, all of ‘apparently’ similar quality and the comparison has been quite interesting. Of the 5, two were Ibis Hotels charging considerably more than the Campanile chain, but you do get a larger room for the money. However regarding facilities they’re probably not much different and the extra £35 a night wasn’t worth it. This hotel is in a convenient location close to the town, but parking on the main road was a bit hit and miss, though there was a public carpark a hundred metres or so along the road. The size of our room was reasonable but the tiny window made it feel dark and claustrophobic and it definitely smelt of smoke! There was no door catch of any kind on the ensuite door so it wouldn’t stay in the closed position and maintenance was needed on the shower hose to stop water leaking out everywhere. However lots of towels were supplied. Disappointingly there were no tea/coffee making facilities. We found the memory foam topper to the mattress hot and uncomfortable. Overnight there was a lot of noise from the stairwell, corridors, the road outside and from neighbouring rooms, indicating the building was probably of a metal frame construction. A change to room doors that close quietly without the need to slam them would be of HUGE benefit. The breakfast buffet was reasonable but we didn’t sample the restaurant food in the evening.
