We stayed for 2 nights on our way to south france. The rooms are small but comfortable and conveniently equipped. The hotel location is perfect and calm. The staff was very friendly. The room was correctly priced. Excellent choice for a short stay in the centre of Vichy.

This property was good value for the price we paid. Front office service regarding information of the area and restaurant recommendations were excellent. Suffered allergies from the room - perhaps dust or pet hair.

Excellent stay. Central location. Owners extremely kind & helpful.

Not much more to add to the reviews already posted, the room was clean and above standard for the 'star' rating. Well located hotel, in a quiet street just 10 mins walk from the main attractions.

There is also parking available just down the street... More

We selected this hotel to try first on a Friday evening, based on the description in the Lonely Planet guide to France. We were not disappointed. After reading the earlier reviews of this hotel, I cannot add anything new, except to confirm that the hotel is still wonderful in May 2010. We were welcomed by Didier and shown a room... More

One of the best hotels we've stayed at. The room was beautiful, the location peaceful although close to town centre, and the owners were so helpful and caring. We'd definately stay again.
