  : One website referred to this hotel as "modest"; this is true, but it was perfectly adequate for a one-night stay. It's in a pleasant part of town, which, despite being opposite the station, is quiet at night, The staff were helpful, and gave us useful information about sights and restaurants. Parking on the metered spaces is free from 6.00pm to 9.00am, and there seems to be a small car park at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was fine.
  : The retaurant/bar below the hotel closed at 10.00pm, as did everything else at that end of town; this came as a slight shock, this being our first night in France on this trip!

  : The hotel was as described. It needs a little modernisation but it had a clean and comfortable bed. A working bathroom with enough lighting. A shower and bath that worked well. The staff and owner were incredible and super friendly. The made as much effort to speak in English and also gave good local knowledge of places to eat or enjoy a beer. I would stay here again if I visit Montlucon. Merci!
  : nothing!

  : Location was ok. Its a basic hotel. Does what is says on the tin. Not particularly good value for money. NOTEas I discovered, you cannot check in till 5pm as the hotel isnt open till then. I arrived at 3.30pm! Booking.com dont tell you this!,
  : Booking in time! Basic amenities.

  : The room was comfortable and big enough to open cases. Bed was comfortable. We actually had a second floor room but upon seeing our luggage and perhaps our age they changed us to a first floor room. The purchased breakfast was very nice - perhaps too much! Proximity to railway station excellent and a short stroll to the centre of Montluon with a lot of dining options. There is a bar at the hotel.
  : The stairs were windy so difficult with a large suitcase.

  : Quiet room, plenty of parking outside, great location in town, opposite the station. Bathroom and facilities a bit dated but all was clean so no worries.
  : Breakfast times are early and very strict, even on a Sunday morning.

  : The staff were welcoming, helpful, happy and explained how the accommodation worked. They advised us on places of interest to visit. Access to the property and room was straight forwardHappy to have a cold drinks machine in the foyer.The room windows were left open upon arrival so the room was nice and airy and fresh.The air conditioning worked but only on one settingTv was too small size and basic TV ie. Not a smart TVLovely big bathroomBed and bedding was clean and comfortableBreakfast was more than adequate, nice and fresh produceThe coffee was amazingLocation of the Hotel is superHotel restaurant was convenient to usePrice of accommodation in the area was right for what we recieved
  : The booking was confusing as the explanation of the parking was not clear. (We nearly cancelled as we thought we had to pay for overnight parking)Unfortunately the drinks fridge in the foyer was locked at night. Wish it was a vending machine instead. The room door didn't seal.The soundproof was not adequate Towels were in dreadful used conditionThe lighting of the room was not adequate as no main lightThe building was unevenThe room was on a slant so the bed was on a slant tooThe bathroom shower screen did not seal onto the bathThe shower was not a powershower
