La Residence De France - Residence  

Месторасположение. Исторический колорит. Дружелюбный персонал.

Не работал бассейн.

Location and parking available

No food available or bar open on Easter Saturday. Kitchen facilities very basic.

Very pleasant room with good city views. Helpful staff,always pleasant on approach. Quiet environment; spacious lounge with log fire.

No particular dislikes at all, but could be improved perhaps by the bar being manned more regularly, and a daily snack / light meal menu.

La residence has excellent location . All common areas are beautiful.

The residence section needs refreshing, Bathroom is in a very poor state (toilet bowl ,bidet is cracked) Kitchen facilities are almost non existent. Amenities at the Residence does not deserve a four or not even a three star .

The hotel location is city centred, within few minutes of Place de Verdun with buses to airport and Ile de Re, It was surrounded by boutique shops, lovely arcaded pavements and easy walk to a lively market. We walked every where and the hotel is not far from the port and its famous fish restaurants. It's perfectly safe for women to walk at night. The Residence staff and everyone in the shops and cafes were friendly and helpful. Supermarket is open near the hotel.

The only downside was that everywhere shuts on Sunday. No shops or bars are open, and even the hotel bar was closed. We asked for hair dryer and it was provided, but an iron was not. We also had to borrow a bottle opener from reception. Maybe the hotel staff should warn people about Sunday closing, because there's nowhere to eat at all near to Hotel.

Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable and reasonably priced accommodation.

I enjoyed smiling staff and convenience regarding location and quietness.

We had two rooms but could not open the communicating door.

Good room, Lovely courtyards and pool. Very friendly staff.

It was a beautiful hotel, there are two parts to it, one is the very luxurious part and although I didn't see the rooms the main body of the building was gorgeous. We stayed in the more budget bit which is still very much part of the hotel but in a purposes built block. The rooms were very clean and large and comfortable and we had a lovely view of the courtyard. The staff were very helpful too. We were going to have a drink in the bar as it looked very very nice but it always seemed empty so we went out for food and drinks. The hotel was very centrally located and there were lots of shops, bars, restuarants, coffee shops and markets nearby. The port was a 5min walk through the stunning looking town. In fact the only time we needed to take a bus was to/from the airport.

Not really a complaint but it would have been good to have a hairdryer in the room and also access to an iron as if you're flying handluggage only its difficult to bring these yourself. I would also recommend that there is no need for the housekeeping staff to change the towels every day. I purposefully hung ours up every day so they wouldn't think they were dirty but they changed them daily. Definately not a complaint though, just more of an observation about keeping costs down and the obvious environmental issues.

Restaurant will open November 2011, only snacks until then. Choice of restaurants within 500m

The hotel was perfect for our needs. It was close to all amenities. It was relaxing ,quiet and friendly Staff. We enjoyed our stay.

Everything. We found the hotel comfortable ,friendly and when we requested a hairdryer and kettle they were delivered imediately.We had a very good breakfast at the hotel.
