Hotel 3 Bintang di Gond-Pontouvre

Très bel endroit où la quiétude est de mise. Chambre confortable et indépendante très appréciable lorsque l’on rentre tard…..dans un très bel ensemble rénové avec goût…Un petit déjeuner avec du thé en feuilles..et non du lipton…..du pain frais des fruits ….un environnement hors du temps …des échanges sympathiques avec le maître des lieux…...tout est réuni pour une halte des plus reposantes..

Honestly, when reading the reviews of others, I'm wondering how it is possible that I have such a different impression from this hotel. Not that this hotel was the worst experience of my life : obviously this is a hotel on the cheaper end of the market, but sometimes these type of hotels are still very new, clean, comfortable, isolated, modern... which is basically everything you cannot say about this hotel. The rooms, bathrooms, hallways etc are a bit dodgy to say the least. Again, if you don't mind, and if you don't mind that the shower is of the size and comfort of what you would find in a camper car, and if you only stay here for one night (like I did), at a budget price, this hotel might be OK for you. As far as I'm concerned, I had hotels that were a lot better, even in France, even of the same chain at prices that were not that much different than this one. For sure I will not come back to this hotel, unless I really have to.
