Le Florence, Saint-Quentin - Reviews & Ratings"Excellent hotel. Will definitely return both as en route stop and for weekend break." (107381240)
Good location less than 2 hours from Calais, free parking, very pleasant staff. We stayed in room recently renovated to high standard. 10% discount voucher for good restaurant in town square. Large Saturday market.
No bad points. Just two minor things - no tea/coffee making facilities (though same as most continental hotels) and only one bedside reading light.

Le Florence, Saint-Quentin - Reviews & Ratings"Good as a stopover. Despite central location, it was very quiet and peacful there, though we were in a rear facing room." (107624220)
Large room. Good facilities. Near to Town centre, and restaurants. On site parking.
No reduction for childs breakfasts. We decided to not bother and got our own food, otherwise it would have been 7 Euros each for all four of us.

Le Florence, Saint-Quentin - Reviews & Ratings"Only slightly shabby (but under steady renovation), friendly old hotel that we use regularly to break up French journeys. " (107882761)
Friendly, unpretentious old hotel in the town centre. Good parking. Only 2 hours from ferry ports.
Both of our rooms smelt a little smoky this time and although we stay here regularly I wonder sometimes about fire exits from the upper floor corridors ?.

Le Florence, Saint-Quentin - Reviews & Ratings"We stayed only overnight but could definately see us stoping there again as the accomodation was simple, clean and practical and the welcome we received was excellent. Highly recommended." (107990895)
The accomodation was clean and practical and spacious and (importantly in December) warm and cosy. The owners had taken the time to light the stove in the lounge despite our being the only guests in the unit ( a three bedroomed barn conversion). The owners could not do enough for us and were helpful and considerate offering a very early breakfast as we were leaving early to finish our drive to Calais.
We had difficulty booking on line and eventually telephoned our booking. The telephone booking was very easy although as there are no English speakers so this would be a barrier for the non French speaker.

Le Florence, Saint-Quentin - Reviews & Ratings"We enjoyed our stay and will have no hesitation in staying here on our travels to southern France again. The hotel does not have a restaurant for evening meals (breakfast only) but this is no problem at all as it is a mere stone's throw from the Saint Quentin town centre where there is an abundance of high quality eateries." (108023203)
A very tidy and well maintained property given its age. Very friendly staff who were exceedingly helpful. The price was great value for money as well.
The night we stayed was very hot so had to leave the windows open which allowed outdoor noise to enter the room (although it wasn't a particularly busy area).

Has been a slightly shabby but comfortable hotel in the past - still comfortable but upgrades/renovations are proceeding well and our family room was virtually new throughout.

Le Florence, Saint-Quentin - Reviews & Ratings"Friendly staff and most pleasant surroundings. Our room was very clean and comfortable and we felt very relaxed and brought home very good memories. " (97832811)
very helpful staff, in spite of our poor understanding of the French language, the hotel was ideally situated for the Town. The breakfast was more than adequate and very well presented. We felt very welcomed and thoroughly enjoyed our stay
We were under the impression from the description of the parking facilities that we had to park in the Hotel de Ville. However, this was not the case and were always accommodated in the hotel parking in spite of its limited room. This is just a slight criticism, and did not detract from our enjoyment

Breakfast was nice good choice of eggs and cheese and ham, bread and croissants and coffee. Check in is 24 hours so great for late arriving and also secure parking so we could leave some of our cases in the boot of the car." (97179920)

We were a little disappointed that we could not eat at the hotel, but never mind we did find a good restaurant eventually. The hotel was good and central." (97119491)

Common services spaces - reception area, staircase and restaurant - very shabby, but note that redecoration and restoration in progress

It is right in the centre and easy to walk (only meters) to many restuarants around a huge square. We will return and spend more time one day as we noticed there are many places to visit nearby."

our prebooked room was a delux room in a renovated part of the hotel which was spacious and well presented. it was also at the rear of the property so was very quiet. our car broke down on the way to the hotel and the owner and staff could not have been more helpful.
due to our car breakdown we had to stay in St Quentin for an additional night. the room allocated was in the old hotel itself and was in desperate need of renovation. it was also at the front of the hotel which was very noisy. tea and coffee making facilities would improve the service of the hotel.

"didn't realise what a pretty town this is, there is an excellent chinese opposite which was recommended by the hotel reception. all staff where friendly and helpful, the room was great but they are seperate from the main hotel." (108694095)
fantastic room, very large and newly decorated. fab shower.
poor breakfast but reflected in price. monday is market day just outside the front door, our car got blocked in in the carpark and we had to drive the wrong way down a oneway street to get out.
