Grand Hôtel De La Seine

Location and staff

Nothing

Friendly staff very clean good location

Car parking not clear on arrival

Clean, great breakfast, easy to walk to major sites

Felt expensive for what it was.

The location was excellent. There was convenient on-site parking available for an additional fee in the underground car park, and the hotel was easy to reach from the motorway, meaning we didn't have to drive into the city centre, which made our arrival and departure much less stressful. Staff spoke very good english and were very friendly.

The room was advertised as a standard double, but it was extremely small, with the bed only just fitting into the space. There was also no fridge, which was disappointing. The biggest issue was that the air conditioning wasn't working, despite the outside temperature being around 42°C. We reported it and were told that maintenance would come and take a look, but nobody ever arrived. The bathroom layout was also very poorly designed. The toilet was squeezed into the shower room with so little space in front that it was only possible to sit on it sideways, which was incredibly uncomfortable. Finally, the gym was very underwhelming. It consisted of just three cardio machines and a single resistance machine, with no free weights at all, so it's difficult to describe it as a proper gym.
