Hotel 3 Bintang di Amiens

The Grand Hôtel de l'Univers is located on a pedestrian-only street in center of Amiens, very conveniently located a very short walk from the train station. Our room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the bathroom appeared recently-renovated. The rest of our room, and the common areas, however, were a bit more worn, and a little renovation wouldn't go amiss. WiFi was available, free, and it worked well. Our room was not air conditioned, which didn't matter much during our stay (September) but might be uncomfortable in mid-summer. The front desk staff were bilingual, very welcoming, friendly, and went out of their way to help us. Overall, I'd give it a grade of A for location, A+ for the staff, and a B- for the overall condition of the facilities.

Parking is easy to find (Amiens 2) and just 9 Euro overnight (albeit the spaces a little tight). Pleasant reception staff who also warmly welcomed our Golden Retriever Marley. Modern bedroom and very nice bathroom. Breakfast was fine. What really makes the hotel great is the location, just a 10-minute stroll to the cathedral and the river side dog walks!

It's never a good start when no-one has told you that you can only access the adjacent car park by getting an RFID card from reception (and good luck finding anywhere to stop on the road on a busy Friday afternoon). The car park is dirty, dingy and hasn't got a lift, so you'll be practising your weight-lifting as you negotiate the stairs. Next problem: the corridor to the room reeked of cigarette smoke - the give-away was a fire door propped open with (of course) a fire extinguisher, so the 'balcony' could be used as a smoking area. And thus the room smelled of smoke (and was full of flies). The biggest problem: it was a very warm day (and had been a warm week) but the air-conditioning didn't work. Reported it, the staff weren't at all concerned, they said it was 'not the season' for A/C and 'no, it is not possible to turn it on'. Opening the window onto a busy street = lots of noise (and room didn't cool down that much either). Breakfast room was unbearably hot (because the A/C wasn't on there either) and the choice was of poor quality and limited. Not that you'd notice: full sun, no blinds, you'd die of heatstroke before you could consume much. I've seen some positive reviews of this hotel, so perhaps we got them on a bad day, but I'd absolutely not recommend anyone stay here unless you get confirmation that the A/C is working **and** actually turned on.....

LOCATION: Ideal. I arrived by train and it was about 5 minutes walk down the same street, nice and flat for the wheelie case. Lots of local sights within easy walking distance including the cathedral (France's largest, twice as big as Notre Dame in Paris), Jules Verne Museum and the incredible Musée de Picardie. APARTMENT: When I entered, I was blown away by the superb views over Amiens including the the cathedral spires from both the sitting room and bedroom windows. The apartment was spacious, clean, quiet and had everything needed. STAFF: Amiable and helpful VALUE: Outstandingly good.

What can I say? For an Ibis Hotel, it surpasses my expectations! Just wow! Spacious receiving and lounge area. Contemporary art design hotel. Hotel reception, Laure was the who received me, given me an option if I like the first room or not, she would gladly change it since I do not want a courtyard view. Sadly, they do not have room available facing the busy main streets but she gave me one with a view of Notre-Dame! Hugo, we started at the wrong foot wd regards to the AC thing but it was resolved immediately. He provided me with electric fan to cool down the room. In Amiens AC would only work towards Summer time otherwise there is no AC in the room. Room, toilet is huge and so neat to my surprise! Housekeeping staffs were so polite and cleans and make up room and toilet thoroughly. They even volunteer to change my used glasses. How thoughtful is that?! I asked for extra towels and gave it without hesitations!! Location is right across the train station behind the Perret Tower so don’t be fooled by google map and take you all the way around the back. Sevice bottle for water infront of the lift and coffee until 6pm but even after the close time, they will prepare you coffee or tea. Staffs: Laure, Elias, Hugo Kudos to the housekeeping management and staffs. Keep up the good work. Cons: Management should change the photo on their website for the Standard double room showing a balcony but for family room so that we will not presume we are going to have a balcony in that category. More Choices for breakfast. Orange machine breaks and it’s finished even as early as 8 sometimes. Do not refill. There is a stain on the room’s ceiling from maybe water leaking that needs to be addressd but not a bothersome. Highly recommend when in Amiens!

La chambre est propre et la déco plutôt sympa. Simple mais avec l essentiel. La salle de bain c est pareil, propre et pratique. Seul bémol, les bruits de portes entre les les étages qui claquent à chq passages et l insonorisation. Sinon rien à dire.

Logis La Chambre d’Amiens was easy to find by Satnav but is tucked away behind some trees on your right as you exit the roundabout. Parking is ample and good and check in was friendly, although I do wonder why Logis hotels still require guests to fill out a lengthy booking-in document when they should already have the details on line via your booking. The hotel is an easy 20 minute stroll to the start of the town centre, but the riverside area of St Leu is another 10 minutes or so. Our room on the first floor (no 10) is of average size and with the minimal, but adequate storage space you tend to find in smaller hotel rooms. The en-suite is fine and has a good shower but, as it is of the walk-in variety, be prepared for a wet floor. The room also has a balcony with a couple of chairs, which is a bonus in hot weather. In any event, the hotel also has a rooftop terrace which is accessed via a small lounge on the first floor. Breakfast was a decent affair with fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals etc along with cold meats and cheeses; and you can also boil yourselves some eggs. There was also plenty of bread, pastries and cake. The coffee is from a machine but perfectly good. The one issue I’d raise about breakfast was the bowl of “fruit salad” which consisted mainly of strawberries that were either frozen for too long, or out of an ancient tin. Whatever the case, the fruit was soft and completely tasteless. My suggestion is that you either make a fresh fruit salad or use decent tinned fruit; but ditch these strawberries. Fortunately, there was also a bowl of stewed apples which were very good. We have had an enjoyable two days here, service throughout has been very good and we would certainly use this Logis again.

Not the easiest to find but worth it.. It is down a one way side street and you need to go the reception to get code for entrance to underground car park. Although room is fairly baisc it has fridge, microwave, plates and cutlery should you wish to eat in. It is convenient for local atttractions such as the cathedral and water gardens. Having underground secure parking is an added bonus. i

Hôtel très bien situé non loin de la cathédrale, le personnel est aux petits soins. Notre chambre étant située côté rue donc un peu de bruit...mais on est en ville !! Bémol pour la chambre l eau chaude qui est très très longue à arriver ... Je précise que cet hôtel ne possède pas d'ascenseur ni de climatisation. Le petit déjeuner buffet était parfait..sauf le fromage sous plastique Pas de parking donc parking souterrain plus économique que les parcmetres
