La Roche-sur-Yon hotellia

Plussat: Excellent service at breakfast, wide choice of menu and plenty of coffee. Waitress brought in extra baguette at our request

Miinukset: Poor service in the restaurant at 7.00pm on Tuesday 8th October. Waiter very slow to serve us and extremely rude when we requested an aperitif . We did reprimand him at that time.

Plussat: Everything!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very comfortable, clean and friendly staff. Great breakfast. Went out of their way to accommodate our bikes for a night - thank you!

Plussat: Room excellent, comfortable and clean. Excellent breakfast. Avoided dining there as "business hotel" but seemed to be popular dining room. Fortunate to find good (and open on Monday night) restaurant within walking distance.

Miinukset: Both room and food were grossly overpriced. Parking not private (for hotel) as described ( reason for choosing hotel) but paying public underground car park. Not extortionate parking rates, however.

Plussat: Superb evening meal.Staff friendly and helpful. We have visited this hotel regularly over several years and it has steadily improved to this high standard

Miinukset: LA Roche sur Yon described online as " the most boring town in France " , this not very helpful for your hotel although it did make us determined to check it out. In fact the central square with its Nile theme and the surrounding pedestrian area with excellent flower beds make it one of the most attractive towns in France so we look forward to our next visit.

Plussat: Excellent business and tourist hotel in the city centre although we only stayed one night. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely big, clean bedroom and bathroom. Dinner in the hotel was very good, and hot & cold breakfast available. They have an arrangement with the multi- storey car park next door for 10 euros for 24 hrs but due to free parking periods, we only paid 5.50.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Really quirky decor, friendly staff, very comfortable room and accessable parking

Miinukset: Had to pay twice what was expected for parking but minor issue.

Plussat: The staff was extraordinary and promptly. The cleanliness was at a high level both in the room and in the hotel's public areas. The breakfast was very good, varied and enough. I would come back with great pleasure here.

Plussat: Nice modern hotel

Miinukset: Requested off-road parking for two motorbikes pre-booking. When arrived told carpark would not accept bikes so they had to left outside on the path. Staff unsympathetic!

Plussat: good bed +good desk to work on & wifi connection + good shower and not all room furniture in plastic + parking and several restuarants nextdoors + good price /quality report => all I need as a business traveller !

Plussat: The large bed didn't touch the wife all night,having to use card in the lift a nd stairs I don't know what percentage of you customers are English a channel or two in English wouldn't go a miss

Miinukset: The bath in the bathroom was 6inch of the ground would make in dangerous for the elderly

Plussat: The location was ideal, in the centre of town with bars and restaurants in easy reach. Despite this, our room was quiet. Also clean. The adjacent car park was free from 18h00 to 09h00.

Plussat: Position was good easy to park for our overnight stop. Cleanliness and comfort good

Miinukset: Fruit at breakfast was a bit average

Plussat: Our room was very bright, clean and comfortable. The bed was extra large. The bathroom while compact was more than adequate for our 1 night stop over. My impression was there was a lot of thought put into making the guest's bedrooms feel comfortable whilst minimalistic.

Miinukset: We paid extra to have breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast was supposed to be served until 10:30. By the time we came down at 9:30 there was very little left. The restaurant staff started to clear up at 10:00 and we felt as if we were in their way.

Plussat: It was Convenient to stay near by the station.

Miinukset: Only paper cups for beverage facility in the room.

Plussat: Location

Plussat: Nice friendly staff ,Benoit was a very pleasant young man

Miinukset: It was October and warm the aircon was off

Plussat: Modern. Parking great.

Miinukset: Code system Log in computer display height - for four too five foot people. It’s a very automated system and misses that personal touch. Obviously no restaurant- breakfast was ok.

Plussat: This was stop over on our journey

Plussat: Enjoyed our stay. Nice and clean.

Plussat: Breakfast was ok.

Miinukset: The room was way too small for two people and two small dogs. Also there is no elevator to the second floor. Hard work!!

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable.

Miinukset: The disabled room was much too small for a wheel chair to manœuvre. The restaurant was closed on a Friday.

Plussat: CALME

Plussat: Staff very friendly, nice large car park, bed lovely and comfy, added bonus of tea and coffee making in room, shower was amazing, stayed here a few times when travelling and will use again

Miinukset: Not that easy to find, water in taps was warm and no bottled water available

Plussat: Comfortable room, good breakfast.

Plussat: The hotel was situated close to everything I needed to find. The bed was very comfortable. I would go back and stay a while longer.

Miinukset: The only thing missing for me was a news channel in English, bbc world might have been good.

Miinukset: Check in time on booking form was 15.00 When we arrived at this time it was all locked and we had to wait for 2 hours with baby and children

Plussat: We had a "club" room, which was very comfortable and quite roomy :-) Excellent bath/shower and nice to have a seperate loo. Free street parking 7.00pm til 9.00am plus a further hour free in the morning, via the ticket machine. All the staff we met were very friendly

Miinukset: Although there was a mini bar in the room, we would have preferrred tea/coffee making facilities :-) The hair dryer was a bit weak

Plussat: We wanted to stay in a old style french hotel and this hotel met all those requirements. Owner and staff were very helpful and friendly, food good and reasonly priced drinks would stay here again

Plussat: The real "French Feel" of an authentic small hotel. The breakfast was delicious and excellent value for money and the owner was charming. The room although small had some lovely furniture and the bed was clean and comfortable. Importantly for us it was very dog friendly.

Miinukset: The bathroom facilities could probably do with updating.

Plussat: The food was good. Décor a bit marie celeste; very French but opposite railway station. Overall a reasonable place but needs serious up-dating.

Miinukset: Room cluttered and furnishings very tired. Feel the owners, elderly but very friendly and accommodating. VERY Scottish - owners wife from Aberdeen..........

Plussat: I travel for work all the time, and have stayed in thousands of hotels, all over the world, over the last 35 years. This hotel is up there with my all time favourite, The Casablanca in Almunecar (where I now live). For the same reasons. Faultless. And, most importantly, different. I know with chains you know what you're getting, but.... So good to stay somewhere that is unique. The owner is a force of nature. So interesting, friendly, funny and helpful, am not sure he ever actually sleeps. But he makes it look effortless, nothing is too much trouble. Although I can appreciate the amount of work that goes into keeping a hotel like this running. Had booked half board; evening meal amazing. Ditto breakfast. Location, parking, the town, all first rate. Having said will never travel again, as am finally on my way home for good, I will make an exception, and go back. As was sad that only had one night in the town and hotel.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We have. Stayed at balladins each time that we travel to south west France. The staff are always very welcoming.

Miinukset: It was all good for us.

Plussat: No restaurant was available for the week of our visit to Hotel We were only advised on arrival we found local restaurant in area Breakfast was offered but declined as we required earlystart

Miinukset: See above comments

Miinukset: Restaurant was closed on a Sunday nights, also alllocal restaurants we also vlosed

Plussat: Great value for money. Nice staff.

Miinukset: Wifi was a bit weak in my bedroom. Quality of evening meal was ok but nothing special.

Plussat: Nothing apart from the fact it was on route to whywe we’re going

Miinukset: Location looked as if it was closed. Wi-fi wasn’t working the place looked deserted.

Plussat: Everything was fine as usual - I stayed at this hotel many times and will certainly come back

Miinukset: Nothing - I had for my money's worth

Miinukset: Dirty toiets in the first room we got and the second room wasn't clean either...

Plussat: Convenient for motorway travellers.

Miinukset: Initial confusion over whether I had pre-paid or not (I had) was unwelcome as I was hot and tired after cycling 100 kms to get there. They eventually agreed to accommodate my bike in their garage after initially suggesting public lockers off their site. Eight euros for breakfast seemed a lot (I declined). Wifi did not work in my room - pretty unforgivable in 2019.

Plussat: self catered, noisy motorbikes outside

Miinukset: as above

Plussat: The staff were lovely and helpful very friendly. Even phoning us to tell us that we had left our car light on. The extra large bed was very comfortable. The whole hotel was spotless. They did have some nice wine in stock. Some aspects of the three course meal were good although it was not cheap.

Miinukset: The bathroom was a bit primitive and there was only one socket for either television or charging phones. It was a very spartan and bare hotel that did not feel cosy in any way. No lifts, lots of stairs.The evening meal was expensive for what it was.

Plussat: Not a lot.

Miinukset: THE SIZE OF THE TOILET! The lack of ventilation in the bathroom and toilet (taped up) The tardy stairway.

Plussat: Old style hotel but good value for the price. Very comfortable and quiet - located on edge of the city with good parking. Breakfast was very good and fair price.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The friendliness, the cleanliness, the possibility to have a meal on the spot, the parking facilities.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very clean

Miinukset: No lift. Only 2 sockets far from the bed. Heating timed, room can be cold. Tiny bathroom with toilet and wooden door. Not enough serving time to eat. ALL THE ABOVE KNOWN when booking was already made with cancellation fee applied.

Plussat: Friendly polite staff, basic budget accommodation for overnight stay or short break. Clean rooms. We booked 1 double and 2 twin rooms all to a good standard

Miinukset: Slightly noisy location we faced main road with traffic location on busy throughfair

Plussat: efficient and good breakfast

Plussat: Friendly atmosphere, somewhat 'cheap and cheerful' but, hey, it was cheap and cheerful! Had a two bedded room with 5 beds for a single traveller for no apparent reason ! Couldn't access Wifi as room was too remote.

Plussat: The staff were very accomodating, good value for money.

Plussat: Its realy just a Hotel if you need an over night stop. We couldn't find anything near puy du fou.

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: Breakfast was good

Miinukset: Hotel is a Routiers Truck Stop. Nothing wrong with that except it was not clear when booking

Plussat: Breakfast ok. Service ok. Enough parking. WiFi-Internet access. Room size ok.

Miinukset: 1. Very cold in the room (10°c inside) in winter (-4° outside) even though the radiator was on maximum hot continuously. 2. the bathroom: The bathroom and the vestibule are the same unit. There's no door between them. The hook for shower head is kaput totally. There's no any hooks for clothes in bathoom. Only two towels. Normal is 3 per person.

Plussat: Cheap and good location.

Miinukset: Noisy and very small rooms.

Plussat: Good location and facilities.

Miinukset: Tiny box like rooms. Limited breakfast.

Miinukset: Our room was dirty, there was a pizza box from previous guest and it smelled of cigarrettes. We went downstairs to complain and the woman only said: no! As in desbelief Next day we had a request and I couldn't understand because my French is not great and she said: its not hard to understand Very rude

Plussat: The train station in walking distance

Miinukset: Nothing about the hotel the bed was very uncomfortable the room was not clean no toilet paper in the toilet no soap in the shower garbage under the bed

Plussat: The restaurant was. very nice

Miinukset: Could not get in the hotel. The reception desk was unmanned. The bedding needs updating it was clean and tidy but dated

Plussat: Very comfortable bed after a long drive from Spain. Efficient check in and friendly staff. Location is good as only a few minutes walk from the centre.

Miinukset: There was major reconstruction of the indoor market right next door and so getting to the hotel was not as straightforward as it would normally be and the park is restricted. Parking regulations in force at the time are also confusing! Depending which side of the hotel you are on it can be noisey from 0500 onwards due to the market stall holders setting up for the day. The bedroom and bathroom could do with a refurb but this is a 2* hotel so cant complain too much.

Plussat: The staff manning the front desk was awesome. They were welcoming, cheerful and full of information about where to eat. We stayed only one night coming in in the evening and leaving early the next day, but the staff was definitely a high point. The rooms were comfortable but plain, but they also were not expensive. A good stay.

Plussat: Friendly staff. very good breakfast. Good location, near the city centre.

Miinukset: Old room. Staff need to keep more attention to the room-service
