ACANTHE DU TEMPLE HÔTEL

My room was very clean and I enjoyed having a sofa to watch the TV. It made a nice change from being perched on my bed. The hotel is close to the tourist attractions and next to a Carrefour. ||There was a French breakfast on offer (coffee, a glass of juice, a croissant, pain au chocolat, yogurt, slice of cheese and dried fruits). I think they were reasonable value but I’m not 100% certain how much I was charged. ||However, I had a couple of niggles.||Firstly, there is no lift. I had a heavy suitcase. I managed it, but the steps turn and are quite narrow and it’s not my favourite hobby manoeuvring suitcases.||Secondly, the hotel is very small with only one staircase, so if you are on the 1st floor like I was, you can hear everyone going up and down the stairs. (I imagine you could hear them whatever floor you were on.). Management could have been a bit more proactive here, with a polite sign or two reminding guests that they should try not to disturb everyone else and maybe lay off shouting at each other. ||I’m not sure what the deal was with the guy behind the desk, but for some reason I had problems communicating normal questions/answers with him. He may have been one of those French people who “don’t speak English” on principle (my French teacher was like that at school and insisted on very strange French words for well known terms like hoover and Walkman and shopping and weekend), but I was genuinely trying to speak French and he still seemed to have a problem understanding me or helping me out. People are usually impressed I’ve tried, even though it is either invariably gibberish I’ve just come out with or a string of please and thank yous. ||He didn’t seem to use universal words like “passport” or have repertoire of mime to assist. I’m just grateful I didn’t need his help and I’m not convinced I’m the only non-French native who’s ever stayed there. It’s not great for people travelling alone to feel like they aren’t worth trying to assist. That was somehow how it came across. I may be being unfair but when I feel like I have to get a proper phrase book out so we can communicate at all, it’s disappointing.

Très bon accueil et chambre très confortable

Attention les explications pour , et la reservation et l'utilisation du parking public Indigo porte Auguste , sont pas très claires pour la clientèle de hotel. Sinon la Chambre que nous avons occupee lors de notre séjour ne possède pas d'endroit pour y ranger les vêtements, la salle de bain avec WC ( près du lit) manque également de rangement et le receveur de la douche italienne très glissant. La literie est bonne. Le personnel d'acceuil plutot agréable . Mais si la situation reste pas très éloigné des ( restaurants et commerces) environ 500 à 800m , l'endroit est plutôt désert le soir et pas très sûr ( souvent interpellé pour demande d'argent voir de cigarettes ou autre) |

Posizione ottima per visitare la città, tutti i suoi monumenti storici, i locali dallo stile vintage e gitano dove l'accoglienza è informale e simpatica. Ci tornerei!

Rapport qualité prix imbattable pour un confort de très bon niveau pour un 3 étoiles.
Hôtel rénové totalement.
Très bon accueil par le gérant.
Seul bémol parking en dehors de l'hôtel.
