Hôtel du Parc

It was cheap - though still not value for money.

When our taxi picked us up at the airport the driver told us it wasn't a hotel - and he was right , a cheap hostel maybe.Read all the reviews - if I had I'd have stayed somewhere else. There was no light ( or light fitting), or window, in the bathroom; how can that be cleaned? When it was "cleaned" there was a disgusting smell of Jeyes fluid in the entire room. We lit the bathroom with a mobile phone torch to enable some privacy. There was no ac so the window had to be open and we were bitten ( did the culprits live in the dank bathroom we wondered). We met other guests who were left waiting on reception and could get no replies - again, read the reviews! We felt we couldn't leave luggage on our last day as we might not have been able to access it or contact reception for help - so we did our final day's sightseeing with bags in tow. There's more but you can, and should, read the reviews of other guests.

Had I been in it the room was basic but fine.

The woman on reception gave me a key fob and told me where my room was. At 2am I discovered the key fob receiver didn't work to get me into the hotel. I phoned the manager, but it went to answer machine. Had I been more sober I would have left my message in French. I ended up trying to sleep in the doorway like a homeless person until someone let me in at 8am. Having slept outside all night the manager was not apologetic and demanded I still pay for the room.

The réception, the quality of bed the room.....
