  : For my particular needs, the location was ideal, and it was also in the centre of Le Vcinet, facing the church around which the town was built. Also, everyone in the town knew it, so it was easy to ask directions. The hotel was very clean and neat, and while I arrived on a Monday when the restaurant was closed, there were tables set up in front that made a comfortable "stop and look around" location. The room I had was in no way large, but sufficient, with a very nicely done shower & toilet and there was a brief wait for hot water. There were ample towels. The bed was large and comfortable, and the coverings more than adequate. I was facing the church, the centre of the town though a large, high window that let in plenty of light, with both light & heavy drapes. The town, Le Vcinet, is very much a posh place, so very civilised, but also expensive, as reflected in the costs of the rooms at the hotel.
  : Then there was the less good. I arrived, as noted, on a Monday, so no one was at the front desk. A code sent by email at the last minute allows access, and on entering, I found a row of keys standing on the counter, each with a name, but with no indication of floor or room location. It is not a large hotel, so the room would not be so difficult to find, but there are several dozen rooms on three floors. I guessed a floor - there is a lift that comes quickly - and met a housekeeper who directed me. My French was not bad ... 25 years ago, so I found it of limited help. She was informative, but not ... welcoming. When I entered the room, I was surprised at how small it was, but realised it was, after all, adequate. But it was facing south, on a warm day in June. The high that day was in the 30s C. There is no air conditioning in the hotel, but also no fan, no ventilation. It was hot. It also faced what turned out to be a meeting place just across the street from the hotel that was loud until midnight. Then there was the bar of soap: a tiny bar of soap, 12 grams. There was also a small sachet of shower gel which I avoid, so I asked the housekeeper for a second bar of soap. She was very clear that that was out of the question, which rather astonished me. There was also a plastic cup provided, that was so thin that it was hard to hold without crushing it. So, in cooler weather, and arriving on a different day, I may have had a stellar experience, except, I suppose, for the soap, ... and facing the street. In the end, its location would probably be the reason I would return.

  : Location is good. There is almost nowhere to stay in Les Vesinet. The rooms are small and sparsely/basically furnished very 1960s, but clean. Staff are friendly and efficient. Bed was Ikea comfortable. Lunch in the terrace outside the church square was tasty and service was very good.
  : Rooms are too small and basic.
