4/10 Fair

Poor restaurant

Accommodation was OK - stayed several times before. Stay let down by cold food presented to one member of party - had to be sent back for both starter and main course. Serving plates were not pre-warmed which meant food went cold quickly.

Etablissement très calme

Etablissement calme, situé tout près du centre ville, agréable et bien tenu. Le personnel est à l'écoute. Notre chambre avec terrasse était bien équipée, la literie de bonne qualité. La piscine est un plus appréciable. Nous avons très bien dîné et le petit déjeuner est assez complet. Des produits laitiers et des confitures provenant de producteurs locaux seraient les bienvenus dans un établissement tel que celui-ci. Notre séjour, même très court, nous a donné satisfaction et nous reviendrions dans cet hôtel avec plaisir.

6/10 Good

Avis passable du à la chambre qui était décevante

La chambre N°55, est à éviter : Car elle est située à côté de l'espace bien-être. Ont entend toute la journée et surtout toute les nuits, le bruit des appareils ( bruits d'eau, ronronnement, machinerie.......) L'accès à cette espace ce situe par la porte voisine de la chambre. Donc bruits de portes, passage des clients.... La chambre donne également sur le parking. Donc des nuits pas reposante. L'accueil du personnel de l'hôtel et restaurant est excellent.

Très bon séjour à l hôtel Rabelais. Chambre spacieuse, propre, silencieuse. Très bon petit déjeuner, nous avons également dîner au restaurant, excellent. Je conseille vivement cet hébergement
Patricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, room clean. The actual town itself is rundown and doesn’t offer much facilities. The restaurant was nice but doesn’t cater much for non meat eaters. We had a dog with us and were given a disabled room with its own door to the car park. The dog was also allowed to come with us to the restaurant.

Erreur courante de facturation

Tout a été parfait. À l’exception d’une erreur sur la facturation : on a facturé un petit déjeuner qui n’a pas été pris; une erreur habituelle oû l’on facture systématiquement le petit déjeuner qu’il soit pris ou non !
