Valenciennes Hotels with Bars

I wanted to love this place! I wouldn’t have traveled to the middle of nowhere had I thought I would have had un unsatisfactory visit. My expectation was to have a relaxing spa weekend. I went directly to the spa for my first service after check in. The staff were very warm and friendly but I was very disappointed with the facial. I paid 110€ basically for mud to sit and dry on my face for an hour. No shoulder massage during. After the spa was dinner time. I emailed 4 days before my arrival for a reservation. I was told to wait 30 min when I arrived there was only one other table. The food was another disappointment but based on other reviews I read this wasn’t a big surprise. I started with a cold eggplant parmigiana really lacking flavor, the pasta was a heavy butter sauce overly salty. Well, time for a good nights rest. I tuck into my suit which I paid to for an upgrade. The bed was too firm for my backs liking. I woke the next day with a painful back I thought I would go to the spa for a massage but based on the previous day thought I would be left with another disappointment. I decided to call it quits and check out early. As a compensation to not leave I was offered a complimentary cheese board. I really didn’t feel like stuffing myself with cheese after this disappointing stay so I left the cheese behind packed my bags and headed out of town. Overall, the hotel has potential to be great. The renovations were beautifully done. Perhaps lacking a bit of soul with the decorations but with proper management and design a well trained spa team it could be great. Wish you the best but this time was a big flop.

It’s my 1st time visiting France recently in Sept 2022 and had a few surprises from this hotel that I have never encountered in my years of traveling the world. Not sure if it’s a culture or service that I have yet to understand. Some pros: - Room was a good size w/ clean sheets, towels & good water pressure - arrived early at 8am & was check-in promptly. even had the chance to enjoy the breakfast - breakfast was a decent spread; I especially & thoroughly enjoyed the freshly squeezed orange juice from the machine. A good vitamin booster during the endemic :0 - helpful service staff who spoke good English to organize our taxi back to Belgium. The cons (based on what I am used to when I visit America or Asia) - the service staff ie front office, serving members of the breakfast lounge look comfortable enjoying breakfast with the hotel guests. Something I am not used to. They also looked comfortable talking and laughing loudly where there were clearly hotel guests trying to have a decent quiet breakfast. I was there for 4D/ 3N and always had the displeasure of having breakfast with the staff members. - I was told this is the best hotel within the city but I have seen better design & service from mercure before (ie Bangkok, Indonesia, etc.) Overall, a good stay but peculiar in their service.

The location of the hotel is quite good, just a few dozen meters across the train station. The city is small, the hotel is about 20 minutes walk to the city center, and there are many restaurants nearby. The hotel room is large in Europe and France, and the price is higher. The suite I stayed in was a bit pleasantly surprised. For travelers who stay for a short day or two, this is a good choice.

We came to spend a few days in Valencia that we love very much. We chose a kitchenette room so that we do not have to take our breakfast at the hotel because of the price and always for the same reason so that we do not have to go to the restaurant at noon and evening. But in the kitchenette there is nothing but a boiler, but no cup, a refrigerator, a microwave, but no vessel, even no small stick or glass, no cooking plate, so we pay more for a service than we have, so we should come with a cooker plate, vacuum, spoon, torchons, maintenance products .... There is the refrigerator we had to cut because even if we had brought aperitif, there is no it had only tooth-shoes and above all it makes a terrible noise. The rooms are trist, under the roofs, zinc, no air conditioning, toilet/sdbain air conditioning: HS, no mosquitoes therefore not possible to open, HS head lamp not possible to repair, so impossible to read the evening when my husband was asleep. The staff is very friendly and the staff is very friendly. We are very disappointed and especially not appreciating having paid for this fake kitchenette, we had to reduce (3nuits/6) our stay because it was too expensive because of the restaurant we couldn't do.

L’accueil super, une équipe au petit soin et surtout une mention spécial à ajiba une personne souriante, toujours là pour les clients merci à vous ! Nous étions là pour une convention et nous avons passés un très bon séjour. Un verre de bienvenue et nous repartons le dimanche bien reposées!

Don’t be put off by the outward appearance and location in an industrial area. This hotel has really comfy clean rooms, great nights sleep. Great value for an overnight stopover. Magiella (not sure of spelling) receptionist was really friendly and helpful.

Let's get the negatives out of the way. The room was a little disappointing, being rather small and dated. Breakfast was also basic but this can be forgiven due to the Covid-19 restrictions on buffet dining. However, the negatives were compensated for in the friendliness of the staff, the warm welcome, very comfy bed and great location for the town centre and plenty of nearby restaurants (highly recommend the Greek round the corner!). We were travelling on motorcycles and they allowed us to safely park in the hotel garage which was a huge bonus. Would we return? Probably not as we found the region lacking but if we were to pass through that way again en-route elsewhere, yes, we'd use this hotel again.
