La Roche-sur-Yon hotellia

Plussat: Location was good and car parking was secure because of their arrangement with the Car Park Clemenceau next door.

Miinukset: There is no meal in the restaurant on a Sunday evening which , I believe, was not made clear on the web site.

Plussat: Good meal , OK breakfast ,

Miinukset: Poor rather small room . Manager indifferent to us and we were not greeted as the French locals were. Do they think we do not notice !

Plussat: Friendly staff, excellent bistro and breakfast, very comfortable room.

Miinukset: Absolutely superb....excellent all round!!

Plussat: Comfortable bed and good bedding. Everything worked! Large walk in shower and well planned bathroom. Very good breakfast. All contributed to a relaxing stay.

Miinukset: Restaurant was ok and the service good but the food could have been better cooked- my steak was tough, undercooked and cold.

Miinukset: When we checked in for our reserved 3 night stay Oct. 11 - 13 , I had asked the front desk to reserve for additional night on Oct. 17th . We were told that would be OK. Again , when we checked out on the 13th , I spoke to the front desk to make sure we had a room for the 17th. We were told that is was OK. We arrived back on the 17th ( after walking with our luggage from the train station to the hotel ) only to find that the hotel was fully booked and we did not have a room reserved. ???????? The front desk could not explain why we didn't have a room reserved !! They were kind enough to find us another hotel ( again walk with luggage ) but this should never happen !! Very disappointed !

Plussat: The staff were very helpfull

Miinukset: Layout of the buffet could have been better

Plussat: Central location with easy walks to the shops and good selection of the restaurants and bars. The room was clean, spacious, the bed was comfortable for my taste. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Miinukset: There is no parking allocated to the hotel. We had to pay extra for parking. We didn't have breakfast as it was expensive and per our understanding did not include much choice for vegetarians. Disappointment of the hotel choice to replace the normal ceramic cups for teas and coffee with the small sized thin and flimsy paper cups. It negates the image for four star hotel and is also not environmentally friendly option in our opinion.

Plussat: The restaurant in the hotel is rated very highly by Trip Advisor and we ate there two times and each time was very good. Our room was quiet and comfortable. The hotel is located within walking distance of everything we needed. We were able to walk with our suitcases to the train station which was a 10 minute walk.

Miinukset: There was nothing that I didn't like.

Plussat: The staff were incredibly helpful, very important as I was on my own and my French is pretty poor. My room was lovely, very quiet, spotlessly clean. The selection at breakfast was very good and everything of good quality. Especially the coffee! The hotel was well situated being a short walk from the train station and also buses nearby. Hotel restaurant good also.

Miinukset: My only tiny complaint would be a lack of vegetarian choices on the restaurant menu but the staff did their best to cater for me.

Plussat: Good location Spacious clean rooms Helpful friendly staff

Miinukset: They only provided one complimentary bottle of water even though there were two guests in the room . No toiletries (shower cap, cotton wool pads, ear buds, shaver, toothpaste) in bathroom .

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, english speaking staff

Miinukset: No fridge in room, was very hot day wanted cool drinks

Plussat: Basic but cheap and cheerful!! With really really friendly and helpful staff!! Also the location is super!!!!!!

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: Value for money, good breakfast.

Miinukset: Location.

Plussat: This was stop over on our journey

Plussat: Very nice hotel,clean and quiet.

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.

Plussat: Nice rooms, very kind staff

Miinukset: A bit overpriced for location and amenities

Plussat: Very enjoyable stay, friendly helpful owners, directions, recommendations etc. Spacious clean comfortable room. Convenient to the Centre and SNCF station. Good breakfast.

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

Miinukset: Friday night stay. Would have liked evening dinner.

Plussat: Close to town centre. Good, free parking at building. Brightly decorated and modern style. Breakfast was a good variety and relaxed. Staff very friendly and helpful. Good WiFi.

Miinukset: Rooms a little cramped and not fully sound proofed. Luckily we had great ‘neighbours’ this time! So not a problem.

Plussat: Very compact, clean and good beds. Good for one night.

Miinukset: The hotel had a restaurant and mentioned prices for lunch and dinner on its website. After a long drive we counted on being able to use the restaurant, it being a Friday evening, however the restaurant was only open at the weekend we were told. This should have been mentioned on the website when we booked. We could have had a meal beforehand elsewhere. As it was we were able to get some readymade pasta heated up in a microwave from the hotel.

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.

Plussat: WiFi is easy to connect. Kettle and tea! Beds comfortable.

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable, and the room small but well appointed. There was plenty of hot water. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of pastries, bread,cheese and fruit.

Miinukset: There was no one on Duty when we arrived and a notice to tell us where our room was. There key had fallen on the ground but we found it after a small panic.

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: Did an overnight stay on our journey to and from the south west of France. It was a great place to stay and would recommend it for this purpose.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Bar and restaurant closed on Sundays

Plussat: Pretty basic.

Miinukset: Tiny bathroom. Could barely sit on the toilet without your knees hitting the door.

Miinukset: Nothing.

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

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: 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: Was nice and I have enjoyed it

Miinukset: Good location

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
