Had a lovely one night stay in this charming, small independent hotel in the centre of Brive. A very friendly welcome, a comfortable room and a great breakfast. Our hosts were very helpful with local knowledge and with restaurant recommendations. Highly recommended.

This is the second time we have stayed here and unfortunately it wasn’t as good as the first time. We had a nice room on the first visit with a lovely big bathroom that was clean and modern. However our second visit showed us that you can’t always rely on past information. The room was much smaller which didn’t really bother us as there was still enough room to put things however the bathroom was a different story. It had a shower over the bath and at first I was pleased as I sometimes like to have a bath if I have time. Sadly I decided against that when I saw the state of the grouting around the tap area of the bath. I didn’t want to have to lie in the bath and be staring at that during my soak. The other problem was the shower screen was far too short and didn’t reach the top of the bath hence the water went all over the floor when having a shower. The other downside with the Hotel is there aren’t many free parking spaces and big vehicle owners beware the spaces are not massive. There’s plenty of paid parking near by so I don’t know if you get any sort of discount if you have to use those as we’ve always been lucky enough to get a free one so it might be worth checking that with the hotel. The really good point for this hotel is the location. It is only a few mins walk into the heart of the city and it is right next to a lovely park area. There are also lots of restaurants along the street from the Hotel so you have plenty of choice on your doorstep. Whilst we didn’t have breakfast this time we did have it on our other visit and that was very nice with a nice selection of self service items. However be warned that the eggs are not hard boiled. Unless we missed the sign we thought they were and only found out they were raw and to be cooked yourself when Hubby cracked one onto his plate. It may be there was a sign though so that would be our fault for not seeing it. All in all the Hotel has many good points but sadly on this occasion the bathroom was a huge disappointment especially after having had such a lovely room first time round.

We stayed for one night during a heatwave. The room had an excellent air conditioner, and the receptionist supplied us with a bottle of chilled water when we arrived. A large, comfortable bed and a well-equipped bathroom, including a decent hair dryer. Very close to the old town, we walked out for an evening meal. Breakfast was great, a wide choice of homemade breads, cakes, pastries and jams. We’d love to stay here again.
