Chalon-sur-Saone Hotels with Swimming Pools

I booked this hotel because, at a first glance, it looked just fine. Later, I realized I hadn’t read the reviews. That was a mistake. The heatwave in Europe is such that airconditioning is essential and when I did read the reviews of this hotel, I noticed it is an issue. I decided to ring them up, 5 days before we were due to arrive. I told the person on the phone that I was worried about the lack of airconditioning in their hotel, as per the many reviews I read. The receptionist said: “coincidentally, the airconditioning was repaired today”. Really? I double checked and asked her explicitly whether that was the case for the entire hotel. Upon arrival we were given our rooms. “Oh” the receptionist said, “as it happens, the airconditioning in one of the room’s doesn’t work”. Needless to say, I lost it. I confronted her with the telephone call I made and that this was totally unacceptable. I will leave it to the readers of this review what to make of this, I shall refrain of any further remarks. (Do read earlier reviews) In all fairness: the receptionist reacted politely and professionally. She rang up a manager and they offered us a relocation in another hotel. I had to decline this because I was traveling with a 90 year old woman and a relocation would have been too much. We had to put up with the situation. The hotel itself has a very attractive front of house. Nice architecture, wonderful terrace. The lobby and restaurant are stylish and inviting. The back of the house, however, is in sharp contrast with what I just described. The corridors, the lighting and the decor of the rooms are both dated and morose. A totally different style with a distinct lack of character. The phone didn’t work the shower in the bath was difficult to use without flooding the bathroom. The atmosphere was gloomy. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was good. Service in the restaurant was friendly and prompt. Breakfast was very mediocre and the coffee terrible. The hotel does not have a parking, which I understand. But many hotels in similar situations will have negotiated a discount with private parkings for their guests. This hotel had not. The receptionist we dealt with was excellent as well as the lovely barman, who offered a complimentary drink, following the upheaval about the airconditioning. (I could tell they were uneasy about this, because they are very aware of the problem) The staff in this hotel were great, the problem lies with arrogant management. I do not recommend staying in this hotel. I much prefer a hotel where customers are properly respected.

I'm very attentive about this hotel. The hotel is located in the right places, you can make all the Chalons walking distance, and there is a large free parking 100 m ( Mathias parking for the guests). The bad sides are a lot to look at, you need to deconnect the TV to shut it off, the boiler doesn't work, and the air condition makes the noise even shut off. The room is not very large and I don't understand why the TV is not in front of the bed, and in the bathroom I had to put my toilet box on the ground because there is no place next to the laundry! A good advice: don't take heavy baggage, there are stairs everywhere and no lift.

Room was spotless as was the corner shower and loo. Easy to find hotel plenty parking -very convenient stop midway on return from ski ing. Traffic delayed us so arrived later than planned-ate in adjoining restaurant and that was also excellent . Breakfast was good quality-lots of choice ( but no marmite😂)

Apart from this problem of a confidential code not received on Sunday which meant that we found a closed door and were unable to enter and only be able to collect our keys thanks to another tenant, the establishment and our studio gave us complete satisfaction: clean and functional premises in a quiet environment, welcoming staff, good value for money in summary.
