Independent in Sainte-Alvere-Saint-Laurent-les-Batons

"Lovely selection of continental breakfast items fresh fruit, meats, cereals, fresh pastries and cakes. Our room didn’t have a balcony but overlooked the pool which was quieter. There are tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Good shower although it is a separate toilet room much prefer them to be in same room. The hotel is ideally placed for short walk to old town and church. They have a garage to park in but very small and it only holds one other car so don’t bank on getting the space unless booked well in advance. Pool area was lovely to sit out in plenty of loungers. "

"Wonderful stay. The staff were extremely helpful. They organised us a taxi to the Château. We were given a map on arrival. Room was lovely. Would love to stay again."

"Parking was difficult"

"This is a budget hotel. We only slept and showered there. We brought our dogs. We booked the rooms at 21:00 for a 22:00 arrival. The entrance is automated. We did not get our confirmation codes to the doors. All of that was solved with a quick call. It was clean and looks like there’s food machines in the lobby if you needed something. The hotel is located in a business zone though there are other hotels nearby. Free parking in the back. If you are arriving late (and are with dogs) and leaving early and need a clean room, I’d recommend Ibis Budget. "

"Staff was very friendly and helpful. I inadvertently left a small item in the room upon departure. Housekeeping discovered it even before I knew of my mistake, the desk called me and kindly arranged to have it sent to me by post. (I paid for postage expenses, of course.) Very efficient and appreciated. "

"Nice room, spacious, but could not reach the window lever to open the window. Mattress had plastic coated cover - not nice, had to remove it"

"Beautiful pool and garden, beautiful quiet location - house was good but old fashioned and required more thorough cleaning and attention to detail on cleaning crockery, checking for bugs in house (cleaning again) and ensuring that all facilities were in good working order which they were not. Heating was broken, dishwasher did not clean properly, no hot water in evening, then internet went down in storm affecting TV, with little to no contact with owner. This house needs TLC as did we so we felt cold, neglected and disappointed with our holiday. Apart from one load of logs for the fire which cheered us up we were pretty much ignored by the owner except when he arrived to check the heating and the plumber tried to fix. But it came on once at 2am then that was it. So very sorry but it was all too frustrating. Better communication is required. "

"Great location. "

"Top notch hotel. I recommend hands down "
