Novotel Tours Centre Gare

Bom hotel

Great location as it is next to the Tourism Office. Clean room and the bed was comfortable.

The hotel is squeezed between railway lines and a busy road. Rooms have double glazing but it doesn’t seem like it, it’s very noisy although quieter at night once traffic dies down. Rooms are a good size, clean and with comfortable beds. There’s a kettle, fridge and hairdryer but sadly no safe. Aircon was working but we had to leave it on permanently to keep the room a stable temperature, otherwise it couldn’t cope with cooling down a hot room. We were there for 4 nights, on the third night the water in the toilet wouldn’t stop running and it wouldn’t flush, this kept us awake. Then the bathroom door handle broke, trapping my husband in the bathroom, it took two of us to force it open. After this we were so awake we didn’t sleep again. No apology from the hotel but they did fix the problems. We then found out that there had been repeated plumbing issues on the second floor. Breakfast was quite good with fair amount of choice. I heard that the restaurant wasn’t much good for dinner and never seemed to be open but there’s plenty of places to go as it’s such a central location. Convenient for an overnight stay if you have an early train - you’ll probably hear it arrive!
