Holiday Inn Express Hotels in Arras

We had a lovely friendly reception in this city centre hotel. However, the finding the hotel was not easy and in the end we parked and walked. The centre of the city is beautiful, with huge pedestrianised squares and narrow side streets - the Ibis is near to the Grand Place, and the underground car park there is the best place to leave your car. The room was very small, but spotlessly clean, as was the bathroom. The bed very comfortable and for an overnight stay it was perfect. It is however, in the very middle of a lively city and if you have the windows open and are a light sleeper, you will be disturbed through the night. The breakfast spread was excellent, with ham, two cheeses, yoghurt, fruit salad, madeleines and a good selection of bread with juices, coffee and tea - however the breakfast room was very small and if you arrive at peak time it is a real scrum. All in all a great overnight stop off on the way south from Calais.

Very beautiful hotel, very pleasant welcome, we will return to it 😊

I'll start with the mad and bad aspects: when we arrived, it was 25C and forecast to get even warmer the next day (it did). The hotel description says all rooms are air-conditioned. Well....yes....but only if the A/C is actually turned on. The reception staff laughed and said Accor policy is no A/C until June (***!) and, sorry, they had no fans. So a sweltering night, trying to ignore the screaming, shouting and loud music from the inevitable youth gangs that congregate nearby. The next day, the wonderful Chef de Reception, Marjorie Albertier, managed to get the A/C turned on. So, yes, it can be done: and this isn't my first experience of Accor group hotels deciding that the guests can expire from the heat because ”it isn't June yet”. If I were to stay here again, I'd contact them in advance and ask if the A/C is indeed switched on (and do it via email so they can't deny it) Right, the good stuff: the room was clean, everything worked, the bed was comfy, the breakfast was good (more than adequate choice for the vast majority of people) and the staff can 'validate' the car park ticket for you (not free, but at least you don't have to mess with the machine). Excellent location, a short walk into the centre of Arras. Best place to park in the Centre European, approach from either the Place du Marechal Foch (which has a one-way system to make it easy) or the Bd Carnot (aim for the 'centre lane' to enter the parking - Google Street View is your friend). When we were there, if you're prepared to use the lowest levels, there's ample parking spaces, and a lift. Summary: good hotel if the A/C is switched on and working, but lots of external noise means it's miserable if not

The hotel is very beautiful and situated with a prime view over a magnificent square in Arras. The hotel is in a building dating back to the 1400s and appears unique in the square.
