Quiet hotel in good location for many attractions. We arrived by train and had around a 20 min walk to the hotel. We ate in the hotel and the food was well cooked and presented. Breakfast offered a wide choice of foods. The staff were attentive and very helpful. Some staff spoke more English than others but between us we understood one another in the end!

Would have liked better signage or directions to the hotel. although we did spot one indicator, if only we had been driving on the one way system. Although a tea or coffee tray was available free of charge,and quickly supplied on request, it would have been nice to have had more readily available in the room.

Overall: Very acceptable.  (108330378)

The menu for the Valentines dinner was good and food nicely presented.

Breakfast on Sunday was very poor. Slow service, no cooked breakfast available until we asked for the containers to be re-filled. The scrambled eggs were luke warm and sparce. We had to ask for more bread as this ran out, after 10 minutes more appeared, but was still frozen in the middle. There were no pastries available by this time. We complained to reception and were not charged. We took our breakfast at about 9.25 and people were still coming in at 10.00 It was an unfortunate last impression of the hotel The room itself was small and little storage space for clothes, though we were only staying for one night! The waiting staff in the dining room on Saturday evening were not that organised and slow. We were unable to get drinks in the bar before dinner, but room service was eventually offered.

Overall: Disappointing in some ways, but it is a lovely building and we would probably want to return to Arras in the future.  (107453380)

Generally comfortable hotel with an excellent restaurant whose staff are very attentive.

The reception was somewhat confused. We have stayed at this hotel several times and must say that the furnishings, especially the carpeting in the public areas, is somewhat frayed

Overall: We very much enjoyed our stay and would hope to return in the future  (107103465)

The hotel was clean and very central to where we wanted to go.

The reception was shabby, carpet could do with being relaced. This could make a different impression. Breakfast was poor and not good value for money, coffee too strong and not hot.

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
