The hotel is like a nicer version of a hostel. Spartan rooms, old bathrooms with rust, no ramp for luggage from the outside. It felt like an IKEA room. That said, it is close to the city and very clean with nice staff.

Skiing stopover
This was an oversight stop over on the way back from skiing in the Alps. Although tricky to find on the SatNav as there is no drop off in front of the hotel, look out for the big public car adjacent and park first. The hotel is really well located within walking distance of the city centre with its restaurants and shops. Bilingual front desk staff were very helpful with advice after our late arrival and parking is free in the public car park at the weekends. The hotel rooms were basic, but clean with comfortable beds and sufficient towels for our four guests. We did not have breakfast in the hotel as the city centre eateries are a short walk through the Central Park, although be aware McDonald’s goes not have the same breakfast range as in the UK, so no hash browns! There is a handy champagne house right beside the hotel which offers tastings and shop and was open at 11am on Sunday morning…

No problem except internet issue.
The internet would not work in my room for the 2 days I was there. They gave me free breakfast on my last day to compensate. It worked in the d suprisingly that morning. I was meeting with a group of people staying at another hotel and the lack of internet made communication impossible and inconvenient. It apparently was only an issue for my room. Other than that the hotel was fine, good value and a good location.

Good morning, We have taken your comment very seriously. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it has affected everyone in the hotel. This problem is not much to do with the hotel because it is the vagaries of the computer tools. Hoping to see you again soon, The reception

It was great experience although the hotel is reasonable price. Close to the city center and very clean. The noise maybe noticeable. Front person was not always available which was slightly negative.

Adequate one night stopover
Twin room only equipped for 1 person (apart from 2 beds) Facility for making one cup of coffee, one cup of tea only. No milk. Only one large towel in bathroom, one shower gel/shampoo. Free mini bar (as advertised) was empty. Unable to control air conditioning, unable to open window as it opened out onto fire escape. Stale smell in room. Telephone positioned above bed so handset kept falling off when trying to sit up and read/watch TV. Tiny TV positioned very high up on wall. Bed comfortable and bed linen clean. Only a one night stopover so adequate. Receptionists efficient.

Overnight stay. Passing thru Reims and needed to stay by the central train station. Hotel is a five mintue walk from the station, and 10-15 min from the cathedral downtown, so quite convenient. Room clean but small, breakfast standard French breakfast fare but perfectly fine. Overall a very good value!

Great location for a 1 night stay!
The hotel is dated, but it's exactly what we needed for a 1 night stay! It's close to town, directly next to a winery and a short 5-10 minute walk into the centre of town. The receptionist who checked us in and out was super friendly and gave us a ton of tips for restaurants, champagne houses and bars! Would stay here again for sure.

Great location...big room!
This hotel is very close to the train station which is something I look for when traveling because I always have way to much luggage! I was on the 3rd floor...room 306...large room and a bathtub that was long enough for me to sit in! Air condition was able to be controlled in room which was nice but I could not find an English speaking channel on the tv. Within walking distance of all the major must sees and dos.

Staff is excellent, friendly, and very helpful
We stayed here in the middle of a July heat wave, and thanks to a listing error on hotels.com, were booked into one of only 4 rooms without AC. The excellent staff was thankfully able to juggle the booking (not easy, again thanks to hotels.com) and our stay was very pleasant in the end. Relatively easy walk to the train station, but the location was not as convenient for everything else we wanted to do. Limited restaurant choices in the immediate area, and hotel is at the edge of a rather sketchy-looking neighbourhood. (If any nice establishments were there, we didn't find them before turning around.) No complaints about the hotel itself, and we'd stay there again - but first we'd see what's available in a more central location. An unexpected bonus of the location - our room had an amazing view of the Independence Day/Bastille Day fireworks!

Good Hotel Option in Reims
Day and evening staff were very friendly and helpful. Both spoke English and were happy to give recommendations for restaurants and activities. The hotel is clean and basic. Free wifi was a nice touch. TV only has French lanuage programming as to be expected. You can add a basic breakfast for €12.50. There is a supermarket and ATM approx. three blocks from the hotel and its very close to the train station (easy walking distance). The center of the city with restaurants and bars are also easy to reach on foot.

Great location - Great people
This hotel was great! The location, the people who run it and most importantly the rooms...Clean and comfortable. The corner it is located on is a bit busy but we didn't notice any noise at night. The people who work in the hotel gave us so much valuable information including where to get the best price on champagne and the final light show at the cathedral. Priceless!

Reims brilliant for a long weekend !
Good location at a good price just 5 mins walk in to the center ! Mumm champagne is 2 mins from the hotel and really worth a visit. Go and have a meal at the Flo restaurant it top quality rated No.1 in Reims If you take your car make sure you pre book the locked garages the hotel has the car and its contents are safe for 10 euros a day well worth it ! Hotel could do with a paint on the outside but the inside is good. Overall its a middle of the road hotel at a reasonable price if you want quality stay in the Best Western but the price is double

I was pleased with the hotel and the receptionist was very helpful. I was however disapointed in that I booked the hotel with a Debit card and paid when I left with the same card. 16 days later the deposit is still blocked on my debit card and I am therefore unable to use this money! If I had booked for several days this very bad policy could spoil a holiday if several hundred pounds was withheld.

Hotel Porte mars close to champagne tours
We liked everything about the hotel Porte mars, the staff were very friendly and absolutely the most helpful people. Sarah, the blonde haired lady at reception and the lovely Italian receptionist, with dark hair, are a true credit to this hotel. We would thoroughly recommend this hotel for its staff,cleanliness,comfort and location.

Nice and confortable place
I spent a single night in this hotel and I had a good time. My room was neat and spacious with a large bed and a nice bathroom. Unfortunately no closet in the room but you can survive it. I had a single room on the first floor. Reims downtown is a short and nice walk from the hotel.

The public parking advertised is an open one nearby with no security. The nearest secured parking is 1/4 of a mile from the hotel. The hotel is on a very busy avenue and roundabout, behind the train station. Not a nice area.

Ideal location
We have used this hotel twice this year as a first night stop over after traveling through the Channel Tunnel. Reims is 3 hours from the Tunnel and an interesting place in its own right - and the Porte Mars is ideally situated for exploration of the old parts of the city and the cathedral. The hotel is easy to access from the motorway if you are driving south through the champagne region or east to Alsace or the Jura. The hotel itself is very welcoming and can't be faulted for its cleanliness and offers a breakfast at reasonable value.

Porte Mars
Porte Mars is close (walking distance to all the attractions of Reims. When leaving the Hotel turn right and walk towards the station then left an you are in the Cafe life part of the city. With the Cathedral a short distance away. Mumm champagne is even closer. Walk straight ahead when leaving the Hotel and Mumm is about 5 minutes away. Cazenove champagne is next door!
