Really nice hotel. All staff speak English. Its very quiet. Beds are comfortable. Fridge/mini bar, hairdryer, nespresso machine in room. Water, coffees, toiletries replenished daily. Room was really clean on arrival and was serviced to a really high standard the next day. Private, on site, secure parking. Loading bay out the front. Breakfast was really good quality, buffet, continental style. Wifi dropped out from time to time but no big deal. Nice patio and pool area out the back where you can have a wine or a coffee from reception which are reasonably priced. Overall a really good experience
I have stopped at this hotel several times before and it was fine - All that could be expected from an Ibis. This time not so good. Check in was efficient and the staff were friendly. The room, though a bit dated and worn, was OK. The air conditioning was poor. Some of the the public areas looked shabby and unloved. The restaurant was very poor with a limited choice and the food poorly presented. One night the fries were like shrapnel and had to be sent back. The staff were friendly but chaotic and had to be prompted for the drinks order after nothing appeared after 20 or so minutes. I shall be looking for somewhere else on future visits to this area.
After a day’s cycling you want a nice hotel, in a good location with good sized rooms and bathrooms. The Hotel Imperator has all of these together with very helpful staff. Located in central Bezier the hotel is close to good food and a large square. It is a popular part of town. Our room was on the second floor overlooking the street, and it has an elevator. It was large with a good sized bathroom, but strangely the toilet was in a small separate space. Good if someone is in the bathroom and someone else needs the toilet. The shower is over the bathtub and strangely doesn’t have a shower curtain. It is impossible not to have water on the floor unless you kneel down in the bath. Not the most comfortable way to shower. Breakfast consists of a small selection of cereal with plenty of fruit, yoghurts, pastries and meat and cheese. Orange or apple juice was available as well as coffee and teas. The bed was firm but comfortable and the air conditioning worked well.
We had a very good night at Campanile Chalon sur Saone. The entree with Mr. Mbaerek was absolutely perfect, the reservated groundfloor room (we have 2 dogs) was wonderful cooled down and spaceful, fully eqipped. All about the petite dejeuner was perfect. Everytime again.
The hotel is well situated and has good underground parking- although access is tricky for larger cars and the lift very temperamental. We booked a premium room but were still dissapointed with the size of the room as everything was very cramped even though the double bed was on the small side. We were also surprised not to be asked for our Passe Sanitaire when we checked in. The hotel said this wasn't necessary as they had no restaurant, however they did have a bar and breakfast room so I am not convinced
The Ibis Budget is well signposted on the main street (San Saens) with access via the entrance on a side street (Rue Racine) to the rear of the Mercure Hotel with whom it shares a bar/reception. We arrived by train and took the very pleasant (but reasonably steep) walk through the park area to the town. On arrival at the hotel it was midday but we were immediately allocated a room. The room was accessed via the elevator. At the time of our visit there were renovations taking place to the carpet and decor in the hallway but this did not cause any problems. The room was as expected for a budget hotel, compact but with all necessary facilities, toilet, shower and hand basin. Clothes storage was available and a desk area with small tv above. There was one English speaking channel (CNBC). Sadly the cooling system did not work at the time of our stay which for ”Brits” meant an uncomfortably warm room to try and get to sleep. At least the windows opened and the location was quite quiet. Whilst I personally wouldnt ”rush back” to the hotel, it was perfectly clean and safe and was a very reasonable price, so overall I would say that we ”got what we paid for”.
