Ok for a one night stay
Overall a fairly nice hotel. Staff were not very friendly or helpful though. The room was clean except for old tea left in the coffee pot, obviously not cleaned from the previous guests. Parking is charged for on a daily basis but hotel carpark was full . Thankfully there was available public carpark nearby

A great find at short notice
My friend and I were following the Tour de France when we found the road from Briancon to our next destination had been closed due a mountain landslide. We were able to book a room at the Parc at immensely short notice which was a huge relief. The room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and the view from our balcony was spectacular. We only stayed overnight and left early the following so did not get to use the pool or have breakfast.

pretty basic hotel service. rooms are small but we were lucky to actually get two beds as requested. the mattress kept moving around and felt like it would fall off. there was just enough room to walk around the beds. Check in was at 5pm and check out was at 10am no exceptions so basically paying for 17hrs. it was very frustrating since we were there for a world competition and needed the rest instead of waiting at the lounge. They only provide min soaps and towels and dont dare ask for more even if you stay longer.

The location of the hotel is quite central. But, because of that availability of free or cheap parking space for the car is important. After a long and tiring trip, the last thing we would like was to be waited 20 minutes out of the hotel garage to park our car for 12 EUR per day. The check- in also took about 20 minutes. The room was very small and it did lack any kind of air conditioner. In hot summer days, it was like a sauna and we tryed to avoid going into the room as much as possible.

Centrally located room layout a bit cramped with numerous doors. Toilet claustrophobically small. Good view from upper floors Breakfast buffet adequate but not exceptional. located in the basement. Reception area next to a bar small and not signed..two lectern type desks and nothing else.....rather spartan. Would stay again as a transit hotel. This could be a great hotel if they paid more attention to furnishings and detail. in public areas.

Good quality and great value for money
Hotel was in good condition and looks to have been recently refurbished. Rooms were comfortable and well equipped- a little smaller than you’d get in some countries but that is typical of hotels in the alps. Spotlessly clean and well maintained. Service at reception was efficient and welcoming. The hotel has a small breakfast room but no evening restaurant of its own - although that is not a problem as one adjoins it and is of excellent quality. Breakfast was very good quality and nice range. Overall, a really nice hotel in a great location. Good value for money.

Good hotel in beautiful Briancon.
Great place if you are passing thru or on a moto. In downtown, close to everything. Breakfast was huge as compared to most places and they let you, actually encourage you, to make and take a sandwich. The only possible complaint was the parking for motorcycles was not great.

No parking, fee for checking in before 5PM, no A/C
I was expecting a great 4 stars hotel... we arrived at 3:30 pm and were charged 25 Euros for checking in before 5 (never ever heard of this and I have traveled a lot!). Staff was a bit rough for a 4 stars hotel. There were only 10 parking stalls and they were all full, so I had to park outside the hotel. In the peak of a heat wave found the room had no air conditioning. Breakfast was rich but poorly organized. Found an inch of water in a clean cup. Flies were on some of the food.... check-out was 10am, way too early, routine checkout time is noon in most premises.

Don't waste your money
We had reserved a standard room, but boy, standard means if you were a bit on the large size, you would not fit in the tiny room that housed the toilet. The room was so small that to go around the bed to the door, we had to walk sideways! Paper thin blanket and the most uncomfortable pillows you can imagine. The mattress top kept sliding, my husband almost fell on the floor. The only positive thing about the room was the free coke and water in the minibar. The surrounding areas were wonderful and really beautiful. Try to see the market on Sunday, it is fantastic. And although it is a hike to the top of the hill, the old town is very nice and has great restaurants.

Positives - the location is beautiful as are the buildings of the hotel. Decoration is tasteful and atmosphere very welcoming and casual. Negatives - rooms can be small even by French standards. Responsibility is on us hotel clients to be rigorous if space is an issue to check with the hotel directly, something I did not do but will on my next visit. The room was clean but the bathroom could have used a final check as there were hairs in the basin and shower - something that can be off-putting to many of us. By far the experience overall was very good and we have already confirmed our next visit.

Find somewherre else to stay in Briancon.
Expensive and insecure parking - openair, password required to get in, but not to get out!, kepad for barrier situated on opposite side of barrier support so you have to get out of carr to enter code. Tax de Sejour seemed expesive >E2 pppn. Lavatory narrow so couldn't get knees far enough apart to defecate and clean in comfort. Desk staff not welcoming

If you want to guarantee parking, you need to book in advance. We parked in the public parking right near hotel and paid till 9pm after which parking was free till 9am the next day.

Loved that when we checked in they told us that the breakfast buffet was equipped with bags, etc, so we could make a lunch to take with us the next day. Room was a bit small, but modern and clean. Windows can open which is a plus. Wi-fi a bit slow and we had to sign back in often.

Good hotel, well positioned for ski lift.
This is a good comfortable hotel. They do an All Inclusive option which is very reasonable, nice buffet style food and drinks from a small bar which unfortunately always seemed undermanned. The only problem with the All Inclusive is it makes the whole dinning experience feel more cafe than restaurant.

Average for the price
We booked through hotel.com a triple room but on arrival we were told the hotel was fully booked and they didn't have our booking. They had a no show so we got put in a double room, super hot and no air con. Surprised a hotel with 4stars doesn't have air con, only a little fan. Did not sleep well due to heat and stuffiness. Staff looked very busy but it was great they managed to find us a room at least.

Relay nice hotel in a great location. Approx 5 minutes walk from the lift, a two minute walk from the supermarket. Near the town centre an right near some lovely restaraunts. Croissant and pan au chocolat available for free in the afternoons should you wish. The staff are absolutely lovely, English speaking and very very helpful, we couldn't have asked for any more. The only grumble was that the beds were too soft. Other than that, no complaints. Would thoroughly recommend!
