Grand Hôtel

Sijainti. Henkilökunnan kielitaito ja avuliaisuus mm. Parkkipaikan hankkiminen etc.

Vanha ja kulunut mutta kiva.

The location is brilliant - very close to the main square, the historic statue of Joan of Arc on horseback and to good restaurants for an evening meal. It is on a one-way street which is best accessed by satnav and where free overnight parking is possible if you bag it at around 6 p.m. and then feed the meter in the morning. Otherwise, the hotel offers paid parking nearby. All good enough for an overnight stay (This was our third year!) or perhaps two nights to see more of the city's attractions.

We accepted the rather basic and old-fashioned nature of the hotel which has seen more glamourous days in the past - and the somewhat basic but adequate breakfast to which fruit was now being added. If we find ourselves in Orleans we will use it again.

Location and staff friendliness

No air con, and ceiling fan was noisy.
