Amiens Hostels

LOCATION: Ideal. I arrived by train and it was about 5 minutes walk down the same street, nice and flat for the wheelie case. Lots of local sights within easy walking distance including the cathedral (France's largest, twice as big as Notre Dame in Paris), Jules Verne Museum and the incredible Musée de Picardie. APARTMENT: When I entered, I was blown away by the superb views over Amiens including the the cathedral spires from both the sitting room and bedroom windows. The apartment was spacious, clean, quiet and had everything needed. STAFF: Amiable and helpful VALUE: Outstandingly good.

-A toilet on each floor and a good point. -garage next to the hotel except when the reception and closed you need to move the vehicle and have the chance to find a place in Christmas. - Hotel 50 m from the city centre very interesting and cheap prices.

Close to the highway and the city center, our Hotel Première Classe Amiens enjoys a prime location. During a seminar or family getaway between Lille and Paris, you’ll enjoy our inexpensive hotel’s restaurant, parking and mini-counter for snacks. Our teams make every effort to meet your needs.

What can I say? For an Ibis Hotel, it surpasses my expectations! Just wow! Spacious receiving and lounge area. Contemporary art design hotel. Hotel reception, Laure was the who received me, given me an option if I like the first room or not, she would gladly change it since I do not want a courtyard view. Sadly, they do not have room available facing the busy main streets but she gave me one with a view of Notre-Dame! Hugo, we started at the wrong foot wd regards to the AC thing but it was resolved immediately. He provided me with electric fan to cool down the room. In Amiens AC would only work towards Summer time otherwise there is no AC in the room. Room, toilet is huge and so neat to my surprise! Housekeeping staffs were so polite and cleans and make up room and toilet thoroughly. They even volunteer to change my used glasses. How thoughtful is that?! I asked for extra towels and gave it without hesitations!! Location is right across the train station behind the Perret Tower so don’t be fooled by google map and take you all the way around the back. Sevice bottle for water infront of the lift and coffee until 6pm but even after the close time, they will prepare you coffee or tea. Staffs: Laure, Elias, Hugo Kudos to the housekeeping management and staffs. Keep up the good work. Cons: Management should change the photo on their website for the Standard double room showing a balcony but for family room so that we will not presume we are going to have a balcony in that category. More Choices for breakfast. Orange machine breaks and it’s finished even as early as 8 sometimes. Do not refill. There is a stain on the room’s ceiling from maybe water leaking that needs to be addressd but not a bothersome. Highly recommend when in Amiens!

Several years have elapsed (and Covid) since our last visit to the Mercure Cathéderale hotel in Amiens. Apart from being a fantastic hotel in an equally fantastic location, our prime reasons for returning were a) the excellent crêperies, b) the Hortillonnages waterways and c) the Macarons d’Amiens (Jean Trogneux). Being centrally located, one of the very useful features was the proximity of the underground car park in rue des Huchers. We paid €29 for a 7-day ticket which was exceptional value. Reception staff (Célestine, Olga & Adam) were very friendly and helpful on arrival as well as during our four-day stay. The hotel reservation was made directly on the Accor web site (membership benefits) and breakfast was included in the price. Breakfast was a delight - literally was everything you could wish for, and more. Amiens is a beautiful city with lots of “must-see” attractions – we had previously been to the Maison de Jules Verne (excellent) as well as the Hortillonnages, but always good for a return visit. This time we did some prior research regarding the local Amétis bus service and routes with the intention of visiting the tomb of Jules Verne in the Cimetière de la Madeleine as well as the Zoo d'Amiens. Armed with the timetables for each route we traversed the city with ease. Each day we spent just over £5 on bus fares (two persons and two journeys). Both venues were equally impressive. Returning to my own car on departure one has to be aware of the rather strange priorities in town/city centres, such that cars travelling on what would appear to be a side-road have priority over those on the main road (priorité à droite). The image I attached shows the Audi car leaving the underground car park and having priority over the traffic on the main road (rue Flatters). Bit bizarre, but worth being aware of. If you are thinking of visiting Amiens in the Autumn be aware of the impressive son-et-lumière display at the Cathédrale Notre-Dame which is usually around Sept-Nov time. An evening well worth spending in the centre of Amiens.

Everything was of excellent quality, the staff's reception, the services the convenience (pizza and beer in front of the world's Cup game in the very pleasant common room) The only bathroom was a problem with the shower that was screwing all over the bathroom and a ventilation that seemed not to work otherwise all the rest was perfect

We rented a family room (C 202) which was more an apartment with 2 adjacent rooms separated by a door, a kitchen ( coffee /tea facilities;cutlery...).Brand new building. Very clean. Tasteful, modern solid furniture. Spacious bathroom with a large step-in shower. Friendly receptionists. Good breakfast buffet:ample choice ( fruit, egg, charcuterie, cheese,different bread kinds..) Late check out at 12 (instead of 11 am or earlier in other hotels). Not far from Rouen centre. · Less positive: only 1 small wash stand in the bath room (for such a spacious place- regarding it may be used by up to 4 people) and few possibilities to place your toiletries. 1 TV set for both rooms (only French channels). Construction works in the area- so, it can get a little noisy in the morning. A bit difficult to find in this whole new site: after the hotel sign (not immediately visible from the road) directly turn right to the parking lot ( with barrier). It's the white building on your right- follow the winding path to the double glass door.

Logis La Chambre d’Amiens was easy to find by Satnav but is tucked away behind some trees on your right as you exit the roundabout. Parking is ample and good and check in was friendly, although I do wonder why Logis hotels still require guests to fill out a lengthy booking-in document when they should already have the details on line via your booking. The hotel is an easy 20 minute stroll to the start of the town centre, but the riverside area of St Leu is another 10 minutes or so. Our room on the first floor (no 10) is of average size and with the minimal, but adequate storage space you tend to find in smaller hotel rooms. The en-suite is fine and has a good shower but, as it is of the walk-in variety, be prepared for a wet floor. The room also has a balcony with a couple of chairs, which is a bonus in hot weather. In any event, the hotel also has a rooftop terrace which is accessed via a small lounge on the first floor. Breakfast was a decent affair with fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals etc along with cold meats and cheeses; and you can also boil yourselves some eggs. There was also plenty of bread, pastries and cake. The coffee is from a machine but perfectly good. The one issue I’d raise about breakfast was the bowl of “fruit salad” which consisted mainly of strawberries that were either frozen for too long, or out of an ancient tin. Whatever the case, the fruit was soft and completely tasteless. My suggestion is that you either make a fresh fruit salad or use decent tinned fruit; but ditch these strawberries. Fortunately, there was also a bowl of stewed apples which were very good. We have had an enjoyable two days here, service throughout has been very good and we would certainly use this Logis again.

Hôtel très bien situé non loin de la cathédrale, le personnel est aux petits soins. Notre chambre étant située côté rue donc un peu de bruit...mais on est en ville !! Bémol pour la chambre l eau chaude qui est très très longue à arriver ... Je précise que cet hôtel ne possède pas d'ascenseur ni de climatisation. Le petit déjeuner buffet était parfait..sauf le fromage sous plastique Pas de parking donc parking souterrain plus économique que les parcmetres
