Kyriad Beauvais Sud

We survived the insect bites, the spiders, the damp rooms, the horrendous receptionist Karin . The only positive thing about the place was the housekeeper Joy, who was indeed her namesake. The receptionist Karin was the most offensive, lazy, rude, arrogant and dismissive person we have ever met. She refused to give me extra milk the first morning when it had run out, told us huge spiders were normal, damp rooms were fine and that the bite on my friend's neck was allergies. When we checked out on Sunday morning at 11.55am, we were told we could not stay in the building as the reception area was occupied and that we couldn't use the dining area to wait an hour for our taxi. She also told me that I was a bad person as I said I was going to put a negative review on ***********. Karin also told us we shouldn't expect much from the hotel (when we were trying to convince her that we should be able to stay inside) as it was only a two star! By the way, I have never seen donuts cut in half before and the bread was stale. The night receptionist that was 'checking the hotel' (smoking outside I think) while I was using my phone as a torch to try and find my key from the reception desk at midnight barged into my room 30 minutes later telling me that I should have contacted him to get my key! No-one was there and the door had a wooden statue behind it! Our saving grace was Joy the housekeeper who allowed us to stay in one of our rooms as she wasn't going to get to it straightaway. Otherwise we would have been sitting in the rain! I enclose a photo of one of the three seats in reception for your viewing pleasure!

We stopped here for a night on our way down south. The hotel decor is a bit tired, but the room was quiet and the bed comfortable - with a memory foam pillow (unusual in hotels of this type). The room is just adequately sized for one night, and the bathroom was small with a shower, sink and WC. The towels were a bit better than other similar hotels. We did not have breakfast, so I cannot comment on that. There is good parking and a bunch of places to eat within a short walk. The welcome was also very pleasant. All in all, a perfectly good place for a stopover in this price bracket (€64).
