The Originals City, Hôtel des Lys, Dreux

Beds were comfy.

Requested a crib, had an extra bed instead.

Spotlessly clean but very basic Hôtel. 1/2 toilet roll in room, no coffee in room and no white wine at bar.

I liked the staff helpfulnessI liked the securityThe gates

The gates close 10 O’clock

Hotel parking felt safe. The manager and his wife were very pleasant.

Location is in the middle of nowhere. Dreux town is a scary, busy drive from the hotel (in the dark) and parking in town difficult.The hotel restaurant was closed, the basic bar had a VERY limited choice - vending machine only.

Business type hotel with modern facilities, air con etc. Valued the locked compound parking for my motorcycle.

This hotel is very convenient on route to Spain. The staff are welcoming and help. My wife is mobility disabled and thrown we had was perfect.

It doesn’t have EV charging points but just over thread at the Cora hyper market there are a number of different types so I was able to charge my car in a couple of hours

It suited our travel requirements clean and functional, with secure parking.

We booked to stay Sunday. Booking.com advised we could have access from 2pm. We arrived at the closed gates - Sunday access before 11am or after 6pm. Nothing open around the area.

It’s location was ideal for us. The room was very clean.

It was advertised as having disabled facilities so I booked a room and asked for a wet room. We’re were given a double room with a shower. There were no grab rails in the shower or by the toilet and no room to get a wheelchair in. My wife had to forgo showering.

Excellent reception from Natalie as we arrived, she could not do enough for us.The hotel is modern exceptionally clean and nothing looks tired.The bedroom was spacious and the bed comfortable.The room was extremely quiet and we slept very well.We particularly liked the fact that the car park is secured by gate and fencing.The breakfast was excellent value for money .We definitely will stay here again.

Room was clean. Air con worked! Nearby restaurants and shops was a plus.

Bar closing early. Difficulty getting in on arrival.

Spacious clean room and bathroom with separate toilet with tea/ coffee facilities. Ideally located for a Stopover enroute S France or return. Excellent secure parking. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Staff v helpful.

For the larger room (superking bed) the shower is above a bath. That is fine but a grab handle to help support yourself on exiting the bath would be useful.We were a bit disappointed that only waxed paper cups were provided to make tea/coffee in the room. We would have preferred something a bit more robust although to be fair we got three refills out of them.

Friendly greeting from staff. Clean room, lovely breakfast. all as we expected,! Steak house next door also lovely and hotel guests get a discount!

Hotel was great, not their fault that the approach to it around the ring road / bypass of Dreux was tricky!

Clean room, good breakfast, excellent secure ample parking. Proximity to good restaurant.

Location on trading estate when description sounded like it was better located with several restaurants nearby

Excellent breakfast. The hosts are very welcoming and the hotel is spotless.The location is very good with easy access to main motorways and a number of restaurants.

A good overnight stop outside Dreux. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. Plenty of free parking.

Easy to find and a number restaurants are nearby as the hotel doesn’t have one

no lounge area

Just what I wanted for an overnight journey break. Easily accessible on the outskirt of town. Great parking and very secure. Clean, comfy hotel. £ restaurants within walking distance. I ate at La Boucherie. Standard French fare done well.

Spotlessly clean well appointed hotel. In quiet area with La Boucherie restaurant next door, which gave 10% discount if staying at the hotel. Will definitely stay again.

Good beds, good bathroom, hairdryer a bit weak.
