La Roche-sur-Yon hotellia

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: 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: 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.

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: 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: 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 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: Easy and very friendly check in. Restaurant made us some excellent food. Great value and location

Plussat: a nice big garden, a swimming pool, location is just next to the zoo. and a super market just around and also a nice pizza rest just across the road.

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: Location.

Plussat: This was stop over on our journey

Miinukset: Not a good location and very dissapointed the restaurant is closed on Sunday, if this had been in the brief, we would not have booked the hotel.

Plussat: Breakfast Good. Plenty to choose from on buffett Room clean and comfortable. Plenty of free parking Restaurant was open in the evening enjoyed our meal. Good service.

Miinukset: Nothing liked it all

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: Comfy bed for the night and hot shower. Bottle of water in room.

Miinukset: Position of the kettle etc

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

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: 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: 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

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.

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

Plussat: Latge bathroom.

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.

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

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: 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: 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: Not a lot.

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

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.

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: 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

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
