“Excellent Value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We stayed here on the way to Bilbao and arrived after a very long drive. Stayed here because it was the right length of time for the drive and it allowed dogs. We just spent the night and walked around town before an early start the following day. We loved Poitiers, what a beautiful town! Wish we could have stayed longer. Great architecture, lovely cafes and restaurants.

“Basic facilities but good value”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2010
2
people found this review helpful

We were in a "confort" room in the block opposite the main building. The room was small with no view and no air-conditioning, but clean , quiet and comfortable. I wouldn't like to stay there on a hot night though.
There was reasonable storage space for clothing etc. The bathroom was clean and looked to be recently refurbished.
Bland reception staff - not many smiles.
Breakfast was in pleasant surroundings with a good selection of food for 8Euros - completely serve-yourself.
The hotel location is excellent for seeing the town (both shops and park) and for nearby restaurants.
Good value for what was provided.

“Great hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 September 2009

We thought the Hotel de l'Europe was great. The room was small, but fully adequate, very clean, very quiet. We were in the older part of the hotel, well off the street, on the first (European-style) floor. The bathroom was tiny but seemed to have been recently renovated. We picked this hotel for the free wifi and were pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. In fact, the flakiness of the wifi is the only reason I'm rating service 4/5, but if you are persistent, you can get on. Breakfast was an excellent value, and there is a lovely private garden in back of the hotel. The staff seemed very helpful to us.

“a good middle range hotel but...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2009

...is better that you book a superior room (renovated rooms) in the higer floor but anyway are not espacious and is not possible to take a good shower because the pipes don´t work whit pression.
The parking coast 6 euros per day.
The situation is ok, in the center of the city and surrounded by many types of restaurants.(i advise L´Hormis).
I like specially the little dormer window: from here you can show the roofs iluminated by the sunset.

“Lovely hotel, shame about the staff”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2009

person found this review helpful

I thought that this hotel was very nice, good loctaion and I gather that the rooms had been recently renovated, nice rooms.

However the staff were about as much use as a chocolate tea-pot. No manners or smiles.

For example, we wanted to use the internet and print one page out but were told that they had no printer....when one could clearly be seen behind reception. When this was pointed out, they just said no! Very unhelpful

If this hotel had nicer staff, it would be great, unfortunately they do not!
