“A bit grim, to be honest...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

We stayed here just for a stopover on the drive from Rouen to Toulouse. The hotel is situated amongst industrial buildings. The car park is shared with other hotels and was almost full at 11pm, we got one of the last spaces.

While I understand the concept at this price, I would definitely pay another 15 euro or so to stay at an Ibis or similar. It's not the size or style of the room, that was fine for the purpose. However the hotel in general was in a very shabby state and there was a pallet loaded with a huge cardboard box filling the lobby.

The room was not clean - I have photos of cobwebs, the dirty carpet, and a stain on the bedspread which also had a cigarette burn in it. The bed is a sheet of MDF with a piece of foam on top and the pillows are barely better than a folded T-shirt. I really like the idea of being able to stop overnight for about £35 but when the whole place makes your skin crawl it's just not worth it! At the end of a long drive, we didn't need this!

We have just cancelled another Etap booking for later this trip on the basis of our experience here, that says it all I think!

“It's a bed for the night, but horrible really.. Avoid if you can”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

people found this review helpful

Myself and my pal used this as a stop to get down to Southern Spain. We arrived at approximate 9.30pm and eventually worked out how to use the automatic check in machine to get the room access code. First opinion was that the place was grotty and stank of stale cigarettes. The room was at best functional and I did sleep OK. The car park is NOT secured unlike the documentation said so we parked our cars on the paving outside reception.

In essence, if you need a bed for £35 purely as a means of rest on a long journey then..... go elsewhere.

Breakfast was a complete joke to be honest. The bread if dropped would break the floor tiles, the cornflakes were chopped up cardboard and the coffee could have been used as diesel fuel and given me another 10k or so! I'll remember this as being the first stop on the start of a great holiday to France and looking back now we laugh about it a lot but for all the wrong reasons!.
