Functional and comfortable budget option
We arrived relatively late and only just managed to get a room key (by luck, passing a member of staff as they were leaving). We were told we should have been sent a code to get our key, but we had not been. Beyond that slight panic, room (family room - double + 3x singles) was functional and did the job for an overnight stopover. Mattresses very comfortable and got a good night's sleep. No frills, cheap place to stay. Not recommended for a longer visit!

Clean and friendly
Clean and friendly but not the Ritz! We booked this hotel as a stop over spring a long trip. We couldn't fault the cleanliness of the room, the reception etc. and the service was good. The hotel is just a little out-dated and there are better rooms for the same price elsewhere. Could do with a makeover and it would be a cracker!

Not bad for a stop over.
This is OK for a stop off - family room was decent size with 5 full beds but bathroom was small. No real restaurant or facilities - not that close to motorway or Arras either. There are McDonalds and supermarkets/petrol close by. We had an issue with the toilet leaking which the hotel resolved - staff were nice.

Everything we needed
We found this place had everything we needed. It was clean and tidy and the price was good. We didn't have the breakfast so can't comment on that. The wireless and shower were good. Overall good value and we'd stay here again.

They did not have our room ready when we arrived. They had to shuffle rooms around to fit us in as the booking they had was for 1 person even though Expedia confirmation said 2 people. The room stank of cigarettes even though it was a non smoking room. Told the staff several times, in several days, about the smell but they did nothing. Had to buy my own air spray to minimize the smell. The bathroom door and wall was covered in coffee drops but again they did nothing about it. Only on the 3rd day they gave us toiletries (shampoo and body wash). None of the other days we stayed there. Absolutely pathetic hotel. They ignored every single time we mentioned something to them. Expedia should not promote this hotel at all. Disgrace.

First impessions - Entry lobby side glass panel had a huge crack; there was an unpleasant damp smell between the outside and internal front doors. Bathroom had a very unpleasant sewage type smell. Washhand basin tap was very loose. Bathroom generally needing renovated. There seemed to be a shortage of towels. Room lighting could be better. Reception and restaurant area were pleasant except for mismatched cutlery. Food was good. WiFi was excellent - 50Mb upload & download. Pricey for standard of accomodation.

Great for family with 3 kids!
For 3 kids it was perfect after a day of travelling. 3 singles, a double and a shower. No air-con, shower and toilet have seen better days, room was clean.

Nice room exceptionally poor food
if you aren't hungry or prepared to go into Arras itself then this will do....clean room,comfortable mattress and decent shower.
However if you must eat there bring sandwiches and crisps as the food will be a massive disappointment and the price of the cider,our error for opening it, at EURO 12.00 for a bottle that can be bought at a supermarket for just over 2 if beyond belief.....also dining staff either don't care or do not speak English... either way plenty of Gallic indifference on a scale that would have them welcomed in any Parisian eatery

Hotel in Arras
Arrived at the quaint hotel in Arras on a VERY hot summer day. Check-in was a breeze but that was the only breeze!! The rooms were very hot with no air conditioning and when we asked the front desk for fans they said there was only one fan in The hotel and it was already being used. Asked front desk for some ice and we were refused as they said the ice was only for their restaurant use and they wouldn’t have enough. We were travelling with an 80 year old and were unaware that there was NO elevator. Finally the breakfast for 9.50 Euro was sparse and limited. The night before we told the front desk that 10 of us would have breakfast at 9:00am however when we arrived the fruit was gone, the coffee machine prepared tepid diluted watery liquid (the worst coffee we have had) and there was limited selection. There was no staff available.
