Comfort Hotel Résidence, Grenoble

Advantages: Cheap, clean, comfortable, nice breakfast and staff, easy to visit all of Paris
Disadvantages: None

...This week we had a 2 night break to Paris; we stayed in the Hotel Residence Monge. I found the hotel on the internet through Parishotels.com. I then used various review sites to find out what others thought. Area The hotel is situated in the 5th arrondissement, walking distance to Notre Dame. It was a nice area to walk around in; plenty of lovely restaurants, bars and shops only 5 minutes walk away. 2 metro stops are nearby, Luxembourg and Place Monge. We ate out both evenings. Both meals were lovely and reasonably priced, but I can't remember names of restaurants. Hotel The hotel is fairly basic. It's a 2*. We choose it as a base for somewhere to sleep. You walk into reception, which has a couple of settee's in front. It is quite a dark reception. Next to reception is a small breakfast room. More on breakfast later... Read review

Advantages: Quietness, brand new hotel, warm welcome...
Disadvantages: a bit far from Grenoble city...

...I have been to this hotel last June, invited for a wedding and it has been a nice surprise! (I wasn't expecting much of a chain hotel, but this one has been a great experience!) **access** Not very easy from Grenoble: you have to follow direction 'Chambery' (A41) and exit at # 24A 'Crolles -Bernin' , then at the 2nd round-about you take left and then straight ahead in the Technologic park... and when entering the village Bernin, you take the 2nd road on the right. The hotel is part of a 'domaine' with a lounge restaurant and a congress center. **parking** by the way: a car is really mandatory in this part of the valley! the parking place is free of charge, closes at night and wide (about 100 places back and front) **check-in** the lobby is wide and brand new, yellow painted walls, red sofas, wood... the lift is right...

...adjacent. I wouldn't say the staff were particularly multi-lingual, but with my best phrase-book style German and her slightly better English, we didn't have any major problems understanding one another. I can't say the same about finding our room though. The hotel is a traditional motel-style affair with a combination of three, 2 or 3 storey buildings around a courtyard. The trouble was that there were no room numbers on the outside of the buildings and consequently there was no way of knowing which building our room was in. Surprise, surprise. 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
