Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were modern and functional, albeit needing some attention with the door. It was a basic but clean space that covered all necessities for a short stay. The service was excellent, with extremely helpful and friendly housekeeping staff. The location was ideal for exploring the nearby Somme battlefields and offered a welcoming atmosphere. The dining experience was extra, with continental options available, but lacked in-room tea and coffee facilities. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and a convenient location.
The hotel is slightly outside the town of Albert, making it a good choice for a secure car park, comfortable beds, and spotlessly clean rooms. Great for exploring the WW1 battlefields, with a 20-minute drive to 'The Somme' main memorials and cemeteries. The dining options have improved but can be expensive for simple choices like coffee and croissants.
After a long drive, my stay at the hotel felt like stepping into a cool space pod. However, I encountered some issues with cleanliness - the spare blanket I took out was covered in hair, and communication with the receptionist regarding a replacement was a bit challenging. Despite these setbacks, the room eventually met my needs. The hotel offered reasonable prices for services like housekeeping and tours around Somme and war memorials, making it convenient for my visit. The catering experience left much to be desired, almost forcing guests to dine in and offering subpar food quality. Nevertheless, the hotel's location was perfect for exploring the 1914/18 Memorials and nearby attractions, appealing for history buffs like me.
