Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located for easy access to the old town area, though lacking some character. The rooms are quiet and spacious, with a fantastic bathroom. The service was friendly overall but had a mix-up with room allocation. The dining experience was delightful with a variety of options available. The location is ideal for exploring Auxerre, being close to downtown but in a tranquil area.
The hotel is in a convenient location, good for arriving by car from the autoroute and about a 10-minute walk into the center of the old town area. The rooms are reasonably new but very basic, and the service, especially at midday, can be improved. The dining experience was superb, offering a variety of local cheeses, baguettes, eggs, and sausages. However, the inattentive staff and the slightly away location from the town center restaurants are drawbacks.
The hotel is conveniently situated near the town, offering quiet and comfortable beds in slightly outdated rooms. The service is attentive and helpful, with staff accommodating various needs. The location is surprisingly excellent, with easy access to charming restaurants and bars. The dining experience is delightful, providing fresh products in a French countryside setting. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
