Comfort Hotel La Mandallaz, Annecy

Advantages: close to old town
Disadvantages: dirty,small noisy miserable staff

...This was not a very nice hotel. Arrived late afternoon, unable to locate the reception. Eventually got keys from the bar next door!! The stairs were dirty, the rooms small and not as described. Weather was cold and wet, but no heating turned on. The staff were miserable and unhelpful. Booking stated price was inclusive of breakfast, however when we checked out we were charged for breakfast. Very expensive, could have got a cheaper and nicer breakfast at a cafe. The only redeeming feature was Annecy itself,a very beautiful town even in the rain. Lots of very intersting buildings, shops and of course the lake. A short drive out and you have beautiful scenery and other interesting small towns. But would we go to this hotel again? No way....

Our room was at the end of the last corridor of the last building we looked in. The room was decorated in pastel shades with beechwood furniture and finishings. The decor seemed recently done and everything was fresh and clean. There were two firm and comfortable twin beds with crisp, white linen... Read review

...We stayed at the Hôtel Restaurant La Flambée in Bergerac in November 2008 for two nights and enjoyed breakfast and dinner. What follows is an honest account as possible about the hotel as I can provide. Hopefully this may help if you are planning to visit this part of the world. We flew to Bordeaux but the most convenient airport for the hotel is actually in Bergerac as the hotel lies about 2 miles outside the town. Incase you are not familiar with this part of the world these places are in the main wine growing areas, and are in South West France. Flying time from the UK is about an hour and a half if you are flying from the London areas. Easyjet will take you to Bordeaux from Luton, likewise British Airways will fly you from Gatwick, and Ryanair will fly you from Stansted to Bergerac. This area is great as it is possible to use as...
