Hotel Novotel di Orleans

La situation de l'hôtel est parfaite à quelques pas du centre ville et des rues commerçantes. La possibilité de pouvoir garer au parking de l'hôtel est un énorme avantage mais pourquoi faut-il que Ibis fasse toujours payer ce service ? Ou alors pourquoi les membres Accor ne pourraient -ils pas profiter gratuitement de ce service ? L'accueil est rapide et efficace, les explications parfaites. La chambre est vaste, bien décorée, le lit confortable mais une fois de plus quelques détails font qu'à mon avis nous risquons de nous détourner rapidement vers la concurrence. En effet pas de bouteille d'eau offerte dans la chambre, pas de produits de toilette dans la sdb, une seule serviette de toilette par personne, ça fait vraiment pingre. Pour le petit déjeuner, celui ci est très correct, il manque peut être quelques laitages (yaourts) et des fruits frais. Tout cela est vraiment dommage, nous avons néanmoins passé un bon séjour.

For a three star hotel, it is more or less what I expected. Rooms looked fairly recently renovated, the decor and design are modern and stylish. Don't expect large spaces in the rooms or the bathroom, I guess this is a characteristic of these central blocks of flats. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the bathroom left a lot of room for improvement with uqestionable pieces of hair around the sink, on the towels and in the shower, and layers of calc on the shower door. Some of the room doors can only be shut from the outside by slamming them, that's very unpleasant in the middle of the night, not to mention hearing everything your neighbors do and say. The bed and pillows were pretty uncomfortable for me, too hard for my taste, but some people might find them to be perfect. Reception is closed from 10 PM, and we had the chance to test out the hotel's emergency number (our cards were only programmed for one night, so we weren't able to get into the hotel or our rooms at a little after 10 PM), which was a delight, the night manager responded quickly, was very apologetic and kind, and resolved our issue promptly. Breakfast is quite limited, no vegetables whatsoever, some cold-cuts, jams, eggs, a few types of cheese, bread, pain au chocolat, etc., however the breakfast room looks great. Staff was quite friendly, we opted for the nearby parking lot with a discount from the hotel. Our ticket was validated at the hotel, and we paid for it there, but we did have to pay an additional 2 EUR at the parking lot upon leaving. The location of the hotel is amazing, everything we wanted to see was pretty much at a walking distance.

We arrived late on a stop over. You have to book parking which is small and underground which despite doing was no space for our 4x4. Ended up parking in staff area. No space outside other than 2 or 3 pavement spaces. BE WARNED - The hotel is RIGHT NEXT TO or almost ON the tram. From 5am ish I was woken up every 10 minutes as one went past. The gentleman on the desk was vey helpful and the room was air conditioned and clean. If it had outside parking and not hear the tram would have been much better nights sleep. It’s not in a nice area so nothing to do if you did get there earlier. You’d have to go into the city.

Bon rapport qualité prix Les locaux communs et peivatifs ont besoin d'un rafraichissement (moquettes peintures). Il manque certains équipements en chambre ex bouilloire. Personnel très accueillant et disponible. Très propre Le manque d'un parking peut être penalisant

We chose the hotel as we were travelling with our Golden Retriever and he was made most welcome. If you don't have much luggage I recommend you drive directly to the car park at 22 boulevard Rocheplatte - 45000 Orléans. Its a 2 minute walk and you cannot park at the hotel itself as it is on the main shopping street. The hotel also discounts the car park from 18 euros down to 10 euros for 24 hours. Check in very friendly and the rooms (we were in room 10) very nicely appointed. A good breakfast with lots of choice. Highly recommended.

Leider war das Zimmer sehr hellhörig, man könnte jedes Geräusch aus dem Nebenzimmer und vom Gang hören. Schlechte Voraussetzung für eine ruhige Nacht! Das Frühstück war gut, auch der Parkplatz im Innenhof gefiel

The outside is not impressive. We were given a double bed when we had asked for twins BUT this was quickly rectified. The plug in the basin did not work, but again this was mended quickly. Breakfast was good with wide choice of options. The room has a very strange lay out, with everything crammed into a small space, divided from the beds by a curtain.. So, the shower, toilet, storage space, safe etc all in one and a mirror placed on the wall so that anyone in the bathroom could be viewed from the beds. . It did have a great view of the river however. The strength of this place lies in its staff. They were all unfailingly brilliant . I mention Julia and Eleonore on Reception, but also the 2 gentlemen and the lady on bar duty They made our stay memorable. Thanks to all of them

The property is located just at the entrance to the inner city. For healthy people, it's a nice 20-25 minutes' walk along the river to get to downtown. Otherwise one must take the car out from the ample, relatively cheap, hotel parking provided, as the nearest tram stop is not that near, either. Rooms and bathrooms are adequate, breakfast is good, and the excellent restaurant deserves a separate review. The view of the Loire River and beyond from our high-floor room alone was worth the stay. The hotel is very popular, particularly as a stop for tourists on their way to Northern Europe. Thus, during the season it's best to reserve early.
