Hotel de La Paix

The hotel was sweet and clean and parking was right outside the door.

I needed a place to stay while visiting WWI sites and this hotel did what was needed. My room was comfortable and the double-glazed windows kept out the noise. The two men who seem to run it were friendly. I speak French so can't judge their English skills, which some other reviewers have raised. My main complaint was that I felt it was a bit over-priced for what it is, a small simple family-run French small town hotel. On the other hand, the buffet breakfast was good value. I'd also point out, that unlike many hotels of this type in France, my room had a coffee machine, a microwave and a small fridge, so you could eat a simple meal, which is not bad since this is not a particularly good food part of France. Beware that you don't have many choices in Albert. It's the center of the Battle of the Somme area and has an excellent museum, but it has very few hotel or restaurant choices. From what I gather, there's another hotel near the church that was closed the night I was there, and one modern one on the edge of town. I guess most of the many tourists I saw at the sites stay in Amiens or did day trips from Paris.
