Hotel - Lotissement, Centre d'Activities du Pin, Beaucouze, 49070 Angers, Centre d'activité du Pin, 49070 Beaucouzé, Pays de la Loire, France - 2 Stars - 42 Rooms
Advantages: Original building, nice and clean and decent rooms Disadvantages: Could have quirkier rooms to match the rest of the hotel.
Well I have nearly reviewed all the hotels I saw recently on my Paris trip although I still have some other things to review too from the trip! This hotel is one of the ones I had not really heard much about so didn't really have any prior opinions of it or know what to expect before arriving.
The hotel:
The hotel is a 3 star hotel that is quite traditional in terms of the style of the building. The hotel is fairly small with 50 rooms along with a small breakfast room and a small lobby lounge.
Location:
The hotel is located in the Montmartre area of Paris at 5 Rue Tholozé in the 18th Arondissemont. It is very near to the famous Moulin Rouge theatre and the Sacre Coeur and is surrounded by lots of little cafes and small restaurants. Being in the 'artist' district the area is lively and full of character. The street the hotel is ...
Advantages: Central, inexpensive. Disadvantages: Poor service, stark rooms, no English cable tv.
The HoteldesColonies is on a side street off of one of Brussells' main drags (not far from the Gare du Nord).
It is right next to the huge Sheraton, and a few hundred yards from what seems to be the heart of the local sex trade (lots of places called 'Bar American'!).
The brochure said it was recently refurbished. If 1970s is recent, then that is true.
The rooms are functional, but the general hotel facilities are not.
The bar is closed all weekend. the concierge had difficulty speaking the local language, let alone English.
The street outside was rather grotty (not really their fault - road works).
Booked a double (they do actually have double rooms) but got a twin.
But... not too pricy, certainly compared with near neighbours. ...
Advantages: Pretty city, some good attractions, good places to eat out, transport links Disadvantages: Everything comes to a standstill on Sundays
's the latest is 2.30am. You have to make sure you're back in time for the last tram or risk walking back to your hotel/accommodation!
**Shopping**
Ahh, France - the shopping capital. Not! Perhaps it's because I'm used to Birmingham city centre and the Bull Ring, but the shops in Nantes disappointed me. There's just not very many of them.
On the main shopping street near the Place du Cirque tram stop, you've got some familiar faces: Zara, H&M, Sephora, C&A - as well as some French high street staples. Across the road and towards Bouffay you'll find a huge department store called Galeries Lafayette?and that's about it.
Oh, there are plenty of couture shops - the sort that you'd have to take out a mortgage to be able to afford, but for the average high street shopper there's very little.
I was pleased then to find out that at the end ...
