Hotels near Auchan CHASSENEUIL, Chasseneuil-du-Poitou

This place is discusting. Looked at photos before booking thought I had a bathroom and toilet in room. Drove from alicante to Yorkshire and used as a quick stop off. Room was tiny had my wife daughter and dog. Room was extremely hot and smelly. Was noisey. People was smoking. Was very dirty. Bugs in Room biting us all night. No receptionist. Spoke very little English I found them rude and inconsiderate. Avoid this hostle I'd call it at all costs. Tried to book another hotel that night apparently was fully booked. Most horrendous experience.

Tucked away on the other side of the river Philippe's B & B is a hidden haven. The attention to detail is outstanding in pretty well every aspect. The welcome, warm and hospitable, the rooms beautifully appointed , excellent beds ensure a perfect sleep. Service is the hallmark of this establishment and sets a benchmark others can only aspire to! As others have said, the breakfast is a real treat, freshe products almost all local, great breads, no, really great breads, home roamed eggs , herbs, and so on....beautifully presented. This may be a tad on the edge of town but an easy 10 -15 min walk and so very much worth it. The EV charging point you can pre-reserve is also a nice touch. Meric Phillipe.

I really like the old lady at the receptionist. We arrived in the morning with our luggage while the check-in time is after 3pm. We called the receptionist to ask about leaving them at the hotel earlier. The lady was very kind, cheerful and helpful on the phone. She even helped us to check in way earlier, at 10am. She is the reason why I instantly thought about writing the review here, which I rarely do. The room exceeded our expectations. We have our separate beds, clean and bright bathroom + toilet, kitchen with all the necessary utensils, a fridge, a stove. All the staff we met at the hotel are really professional with highest degree of caring. Highly recommended!

Room not that impressive. Only discovered it is a converted church when I logged on to ***********. But the main reason for writing this review is to point out that they protect their wi-fi with a ridiculously complicated password. (Why? At most it only needs to stop people tapping into it from the street). The upshot is that I was not able to access their wi-fi from my phone. Reception staff were friendly but basically claimed their system wasn’t at fault. Disappointing

Disappointing stay here is putting it mildly - we booked a king suite at a not low rate, and the ”sitting room,” adjacent to the bedroom had an old broken sofa bed that could not be folded closed, thus making it impossible to use as a place to sit - in addition it had a cigarette burn hole on one cushion, and the thin carpeting was stained in a number of spots. The unadorned drab rooms were reminiscent of a prison waiting room with the cheap carpeting and plain beige walls. We had booked this hotel especially to have a/c and the small wall air conditioner for the bedroom was worse than useless. In fact, we turned it on, closed the door, and came back two hours later to find the bedroom warmer than the sitting room, which had no a/c. When I mentioned it to reception, there was little response. But perhaps the crowning insult was the afternoon desk clerk (British accented), who, when we asked for two glasses for a bottle of wine we purchased at the shop next to the hotel, refused our request, saying at first she didn't have any glasses (there is a bar at the reception desk with a shelf of glasses about three feet away in plain view) and then telling us that she couldn't give us glasses because the hotel patrons ”steal them or break them and imbed shards of glass into the carpet and the maids get injured.” When I said I had never heard of such a thing, she said it is ”common in France.” We've traveled many years in France and other European countries and this was a first. To be fair, when one of us went back down to reception to beg for a bit of ice, she relented and gave us two glasses, saying she could get in trouble for doing so. The good - breakfast was a good value for 15euros. The morning reception worker was very cheerful and willing to point us in the direction of the sights in Portiers. Location was great. There are other hotels nearby - I'd check them out before booking this one.

WE stayed here overnight in May 2022 and it was a good call. The room was spotlessly clean with a large comfortable bed. The only hot drinks available were from a vending machine which weren't great but there is a supermarked across the road, a restaurant attached to the ibis next door and a wonderful patisserie just across the car park (Beautiful pastries and coffee for breakfast). Although this is not the most luxurious hotel it was great value for money and we would certainly stay there again.
