Cari Hotel di Portes de la Thiérache

"Very disappointing stay. We had booked a two-night stay and drove several hours to the hotel, but unfortunately we had to leave again on the same evening without staying a single night. The first room had a very unpleasant smell of smoke and sewage/manure, and the air-conditioning unit was leaking water down the wall. We complained immediately and were moved to a second room, which had an extremely strong faecal/sewage smell. We were then given a third room, located directly next to the second...

"The room, bed, cleanliness overall was good However, the towels were pretty thin, with no hand towel The bathroom was very small but the shower was excellemt. The knob to hold your towel fell off the wall! Staff were great in the restaurant and meal was good. Breakfast was minimal, cooked bit was not very good. Did the job for an overnight stay but probably not stay again."

"Ideally located and a perfect view of the cathedral and neighboring shops and restaurants. The 2 bedroom apartment was recently renovated to a high standard. It was excellent. Breakfast was very basic."

"Les chambres sont propres mais vétustes, la douche est équipée d'un rideau, c'est juste inconfortable. Le petit déjeuner est limité, pas beaucoup de choix et le dernier jour les croissants et pains au chocolat immangeables car trop cuits... À côte de ça, le personnel est vraiment sympa et agréable."

"Excellent place to stay near the motorway. Quite a climb up to the old town but will worth it. Breakfast had limited choice but all very good."

"Very welcoming and set in the historic center -or very close. Large, comfortable room, multi-lingual receptionist and excellent breakfast, much of which is home made/home grown, including the jams. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed on this particular evening, but if breakfast was anything to go by I expect a dinner there would be equally delicious. (There were other restaurants in easy walking distance.) I look forward to staying there again."

"Excellent value for the money"

"We were made so welcome by Olivier and his son, Hugo. This is not like a 5-star hotel, but our room was spacious and quiet, with good air-conditioning, comfy bed and good shower. The indoor swimming pool is small, but we booked two slots and had it to ourselves. Hugo cooked us a really fine meal - not gourmet in style, but delicious. Olivier went out of his way to find the Arsenal game ‘live’ on French TV for me! A really pleasant stay."

"Friendly helpful staff and great central location in the old town. "

"Easy parking, fuss-free check-in and check-out (officially check-out is at 10.00 but breakfast finishes at 11.00.) lovely building with a garden courtyard. Very good dinner and breakfast. The room was comfortable, and the proprietor charming and amusing."

"Cela faisait longtemps que je n'étais pas allée dans un lieu aussi chaleureux et beau. Tout est parfait ! "
