Right in the centre of Valence, the Hotel de France is lovely. Clean, fresh, up-to-date and our room was lovely and airy. Our room was at the rear of the hotel, which was in fact reminiscent of an Italian space with nice old cream walls and greenery - very pleasant, and you don't really see much of the cars parked...

Room was rather small but clean and equiped with modern furniture, large TV screen and nice linen. Our room was facing the parking lot ; it was sunny in the morning, very hot (but A/C available) and very quite. There is a nice terrasse to take breakfast, very nice if the weather is good. Buffet breakfast was just average (few... More

Stayed here for a night in July. The hotel seems to have been fully refurbished. It was very comfortable and is a business / city centre sort of place. The staff were nice and there was plenty for breakfast. The hotel is well located being five minutes from the central railway station (not the TGV station of course) and a... More

Although we try to avoid business hotels, this one is just great. The location is good - very central for the shopping and restaurant areas in Valence, but quiet at the same time. The rooms are modern, clean and comfortable - good value too. The hotel staff couldn't do enough to help and were great ambassadors. I'd recommend staying here... More

We were traveling around France and needed a hotel for 1 night before we caught our train to Paris in the morning. The hotel was very chic and the staff was very friendly. They gave great recommendations on places to eat and visit. There were lots of shops and places to walk around right near the hotel which was great... More

Stayed for two nights. This hotel is in the process of refitting and has been upgraded from 2 to 3 star in the official French classification. Excellent room (210) with lofty ceiling, recently refurbished with a Formula One Monaco theme and great walk in shower. Very very comfortable super king sized bed. Good breakfasts from attentively maintained buffet bar. Large... More

We stayed at this hotel while on a business trip to Valence and were impressed by how accommodating the staff were. We arrived and left at off hours for a hotel (we planned around normal business hours) and felt welcome throughout our entire stay. The junior suite we stayed in was spacious, comfortable and clean and the hotel was close... More

We paid 95 euros for a comfortable, clean, energy efficient, modern, quiet room. The bed was one of the most comfortable we had on our trip, and I greatly appreciated the abundance of pillows for reading. Furthermore the bed had a duvet with a changeable cover that is changed like the sheets. Therefore, you aren't using a bedspread that has... More

I traveled to Valence and stayed at this hotel for two nights. Let me begin with the pros. The hotel is clean and Ikea-modern, the rooms are large and the beds were great. It is closely situated to the Gare de Valence-Ville, and there are lots of great bakeries around. Things I didn't like so much: This hotel is pretty... More
