Hotels with Parking in Limoges

Although Limoges is not a tourist city, we also stopped temporarily on the way to Lyon, but the city still gave us many surprises. Mercure’s hardware and software are good, the design is very modern, and the hotel facilities are relatively new. The rooms are definitely relatively large in Europe. The hotel is not far from the old city. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the most famous butcher shop street in the old city. It takes about 12-13 minutes to walk to Saint-Etienne Cathedral. There is a Chinese restaurant called Au Panda in Limoges. I talked directly with the owner and his wife what they wanted to eat, and the taste was quite good. They are famous for their hot pot, and they also have stir-fried dishes, which are much better than those foolish Chinese buffets!

Never been a fan of hotel chains, especially in large multiple properties such as the Accor group. Ibis style in Limoges changed my mind. Axel and his young colleagues were welcoming and our room in this tastefully converted old factory spotless. € 100 might seem a bit steep for one night in a ‘budget’ hotel,but taking in to account the extensive buffet breakfast (continually restocked ,tidied and cleaned by a very hard working lady. Bravo!) the price seems reasonable. Limoges is not the most attractive of places( Ok, I’m spoilt,I come from Bourges) and in the constant April rain even less so, making our stay in this chain hotel probably the high spot!

This is my third visit use to be very good value. Now the place is falling apart the handle came off we we were locked in our room the girl on the desk had he partner there all the time so you felt rude having to interrupt them to get something as a regular visitor to the area I like to stop where I know the facilities so will be going elsewhere in the future place is also very dirty very poor parking and if you wish to park in hotel more money of course rip off only saving grace is the wonderful river but won't be going to this hotel again.

I have to say overall this is a very good hotel which i have stayed at many times. I requested a calm room & was initially offered room 310. As soon as we walked in the smell of fried food was terrible also the fan for the air con did not switch off which meant we had to change rooms first to the 5th floor & was then told sorry can't use that it will be the 4th floor. This hotel seems to lack staff to cope with such events. We had a meal next door which is no longer La Boucherie & as such has less choice. I ordered a glass of wine which was adequate but the refill was half the size. My reaction to this was met by a rude waitress. Breakfast is not worth the money if you are looking for any hot food. Gone are the lovely scrambled eggs & bacon for a dried omelet & frankfurter. Not the best experience this time.

Hotel on the main road - you can pay for parking but I didn't and managed to find parking on the Main Street. Turned out I hadn't paid for breakfast, and it costs 15 Euros each day for it. I got it on the last morning because I had al one drive that day. Hotel was fine, but operating the shower was odd. There was a carry out next to the hotel for anyone who does not want to pay the cost of staying here. I had a problem when checking out because the hotel wanted to charge me 15 Euros for breakfast every day even thought I had only had it for the last day, which was a discrepancy of 45 Euros. However, after some discussion with the translation app, I got the cost removed. Otherwise, it was a nice place to stay and given that it was on a main road, it was quiet. One good thing about this was that I left an expensive jacket at the hotel when I left. I was unaware until I was miles away and they phoned me to inform me. When I got back to England I contacted them and made arrangements for them to send it to me. Took about 10 days but I received it. Really pleased with the service for this because the jacket was expensive.

We have stayed here several times this year. Blague 1: Having tried various items from the particularily uninspiring plain typed sheet ‘menu’ we are convinced the kitchen cannot cook so we are resigned to just having the burger each time. Blague 2: We both ordered the ‘chicken burger’ (authentic French). My wife’s duly arrived but nothing for me. Five minutes later mine arrived with no apology but cold fries (what is going on in the kitchen). Blague 3: the maitre d’ three months ago was a complete novice who tried to open a bottle of champagne with a corkscrew😁 now he’s in charge he cannot see the customer failure of serving a table at different times. When I said “C’est une blague” he said it wasn’t Blague 4: the €17.50 chicken burger was three chicken nuggets. Blague 5: the offered cheese ‘Tome’ was the oldest crustiest cheese imaginable. Clearly offloading old stock. I do long for the Novotels that we have used and enjoyed for years; this is a joke but I guess you have worked that out.

Like all Ibis hotels. Small and cosy. Located more or less in the centre. Many good eateries just outside the hotel. And within 10 minutes walking distance of Montjovis and Benedictins stations. Was there for 2 nights and no complaints. The lift to go up is really small, I hear one person complaining about it being like a coffin.
