The villages Hôtel chain have now been taken over by the ACCOR Group and many have been sold on to other chains including B&B Hotels.

Many villages Hôtels have rooms accommodating 4 persons. This makes them ideal for my family. Rooms are well specified for the budget end of the market. The hotels boast lifts, most of the other low budget chains make you climb the stairs.

Locations are usually on the outskirts of cities and towns and are quite often in industrial estates. You cannot therefore expect a view. The advantage of these locations, is that trips through city and town centres are usually not required when travelling to your hotel. In fact a few hotels are close to Autoroute exits. All hotels have car parking facilities some of them with secured parking. Your room entry code will open the gates after hours.

Rooms are only accessible via reception which is open from 06:30 to 22:00. Alternatively you can pay for your room with an automatic booking machine outside the reception using a credit card (Eurocard, Mastercard, CB, Visa, American Express). Entry to your room is by electronic lock using the code number supplied. The same code also opens the main door to Reception and the car park gates.

Most rooms come furnished with a double bed and overhead bunk bed. They have an ensuite bathroom with wash basin, shower and WC. The four bedded rooms have an additional single bed. They have a small writing shelf and stool. They have a Colour television with Canal+ and all rooms now come with WiFi internet access.

Breakfast is available in the Reception area. Served 6:30 hrs to 09:00hrs (07:00 hrs to 10:00 hrs at Weekends. It comprises an "eat as much as you like" continental breakfast of bread, jams, coffee etc.
