Hôtel des Alpes

Pros +

• Really nice hotel,in the center of the city and the receptionist Shannon was very helpful and he definitely helped us a lot
• The hotel was perfectly central to the train/bus station. My room was like the pictures on the website site. The bed was comfy and big for a solo traveller. The staff were very helpful, supplying me with knowledge of the area and a map on how to get where I wanted to go. I was also able to leave my bag when I checked out meaning I could walk around until I left unencumbered by a heaving backpack. I was also able to sit in the lobby/restaurant later on in the evening whilst I waited for my lift. The room was quiet at night even though it was central.

Cons -

• It is situated along a street with shops/boulangeries etc so you have to go up several flights of stairs before reaching your room however there is a lift but I didn't use it. Would be difficult for those with mobility issues or prams etc. The only thing I'd change about the room is the shower could have done with a bit of an update as it had an old shower curtain which was stained/dirty along the bottom and didn't work too well with water leaking out on to the floor regularly as the curtain kept blowing into the shower. Some cups for water would have been a nice touch.
