Pleasant
On arrival our booking couldn’t be found, there seemed to be a problem. We had to change rooms because every time the toilet flushed there was water on the floor. The carpet was wet from another time. We were put into another room without any problems. It was great to be able to have a meal at the hotel. Lovely staff especially our waitress

Very helpful staff. I would get a specific location before travelling as my taxi driver couldn’t find it. At reception they were wonderful.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
We had two rooms: one was fine, the other one had a strong smell of mould -- really not nice. We asked to change room but we were told the hotel was full. The staff apologised, but it felt a gesture would have been appropriate. Empty shower gel dispenser too. Otherwise the hotel is by no means luxurious, but we kew that and that is fine.

Good value for stop over
It was an easy Hotel to reach on the way to the Alps. A good cheap stop over. Staff friendly and room small, but clean. We decided to walk into the town as we didn't want the buffet dinner. This took us about 40 minutes to walk, but was good after a day sitting in the car.

Good hotel for short stay
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was adequate, clean but a little tired. The breakfast was plentiful and with a good variety. The buffet dinner food was also very good with a reasonable variety. The hotel location is on the main route through Villfranche and easy to find but is in the industrial area so don't expect pretty grounds to walk in. However it is 30 mins walk to the banks of the river Soane.
