Guest Reviews
- Mark (10/5): - Very welcoming and changed our rooms to suit our requirements. Highly recommended
- William (8/5): Never been disappointed. - We've stayed at the hotel a few times over the years and it's always been good. Never been disappointed.
- Kévin (10/5): - Très bien
- Gina (10/5): - This is our 2nd visjt for a stopover, its in a perfect location in the square with a vibrant feel. Staff very polite and attentive. The room was as described, very clean too and a very comfortable bed.
Will definitely stay again.
- Melchior (8/5): - .
- Lorenzo (10/5): - Exceptional at the price. The staff were helpful and kind. The restaurant is very good - don't be put off by the burger-bar style menu cards, the food that comes out of the kitchen is excellent. I went for the Pave au Saumon with a delicious Chablis that tasted of raspberries(!) as opposed to the burnt firework flavour I've had from other Chablis in my time. Oh, yes, and a very decent breakfast as well.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Très bon séjour - Bel hôtel, bien situé
- Nicolas (2/5): - bar pub en bas, bruits jusqu'à 2h du matin, horrible...
- ERIC (10/5): - les couloirs du 3e étage étaient bruyant les soirs après 23h et les petits gobelets à café pas du tout adapté à une boisson chaude le soir de type tisane ou thé
- Brice (10/5): Top - Top, excellent rapport qualité prix, resto/hotel très pratique et très bon emplacement
- William (8/5): Nice Place To Stay - This is a nice hotel in the centre of Bethune. The room was comfortable and the staff friendly. The bar and restaurant are excellent. Parking is available nearby and is not too expensive for a central location. All in all a nice place to stay
- Anthony (8/5): - Plein centre de Bethune petite ville au Sud de Calais
Sur la place fermée au voiture
Un peu bruyant car place avec restaurants et bars
- Marc (8/5): - Très bon emplacement, centre-ville
- Verified traveler (10/5): Xxx - Pèlerinage de jeunesse.
- Thierry (10/5): - Super bien situé au cœur de Bétune, avec vue sur le Beffroi. Le pommeau de douche de la chambre 32 mérite toutefois d'être remplacé : il gicle dans toutes les directions...
- Didier (10/5): - Séjour très confortable
Chambre confortable avec un très bonne literie
Vue sur la place très belle
- Jean (8/5): - J’ai apprécié de disposer d’une clé à l’ancienne et de savonnettes. L’établissement est pourtant aux goûts du jour. Petit-déjeuner très correct. Belle vue sur la place et ses édifices Art déco
- catherine (8/5): - Très bon séjour et rapport qualité prix
- Patricia (10/5): - Excellent
- Patrick (10/5): Très bon séjour - Très bon séjour pour les vacances
- Anne (6/5): - Hotel de bon standing, propre et confortable. Vue magnifique sur le place et le beffroi.
Mais attention bruit des restaus et de la place jusqu’à 2h00 du matin pour les chambres qui donnent sur la place. Donc pas pour ceux qui veulent dormir tôt
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasant Hotel - Pleasant hotel, acceptable cleanliness. Good location on the town square. A little noisy on a Saturday night.
- Amanda (4/5): Not so great - The room was very outdated with wall paper coming off the wall. Stains on the carpet and had a smell of stale tabacco. The bed sheets however were clean.
There was also a lot of noise in the square so it was difficult to sleep before 1am.
- Tina (10/5): Lovely position in the town Square - Good value fir money plesant helpfull staff
- laurent (6/5): ok - chambre propre originale avec vue sur la grand place. repas du soir dans la brasserie de l'hotel , correct sans plus , trop de choses sur la carte pour que cela puisse être maitrisé , petit déjeuner ok.
J'aurais aimé :
-ne pas à avoir à attendre 15minutes quelqu'un à la réception à l'arrivée , j'aurais du éviter d'arriver à l'heure de l'apéro car ils font le service de la brasserie .
-avoir une porte aux toilettes
-avoir un sèche cheveux
-ne pas avoir de savon made in india avec dioxide de titane ( avez vous seulement lu au dos "ne pas ingérer, pas de contact avec les yeux , pour un savon ! )
- Verified traveler (10/5): Séjour une nuit. - Personnel très agréable. Cuisine excellente !
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Bon accueil . Etablissement chalereux ras. Restaurant et petit dejeuner au meme niveau avantageux
- Jorge (8/5): Hôtel convenable, très bien situé à Béthune -
- Delphine (10/5): Très agréable - Personnels tres agréables.
Chambre spacieuse et literie confortable.
Belle vue sur la place et le Beffroi bien qu il soit en travaux.
Je conseille
- Verified traveler (8/5): - L'accueil plaisant, et ce presque à toute heure. Le restaurant qui permet (d'ordinaire )de dîner sur place dans un cadre très agréable avec une carte de plats alléchants à des prix corrects. Seul petit bémol dans tout cela concernant le petit déjeuner:nous fréquentons cette établissement régulièrement et nous avons constaté à plusieurs reprises que sa qualité n'était pas à la hauteur des autres services de cette établissement.Pour le prix, pas très garni: chocolat à l'eau,fontaine à jus d'orange pressé pas régulièrement nettoyée,peu de fromage et présentation de charcuteries pas très "renouvelée"
Dommage.
- Noel (8/5): Great Escape - Even given the circumstances, an enjoyable two nights stay. We had stayed previously when the hotel was just a building site, so interested to return. Excellent location, although forced to use underground parking at €18/day due to Spring Fair (which never opened). Nice room overlooking the main square and associated views, though quite noisy due to adjacent Irish bar. Bay window opened onto short unsecured balcony which would be unsafe for children. Numerous cigarettes ends scattered in same area. Pleasant and friendly English speaking staff - I'm sure our review could have been more expansive if not for the extreme circumstances, and glad to get away before the lock down.
- Pauline (10/5): Hôtel à recommander - Chambre très satisfaisante avec propreté super bonne accueille nous avons passer un bon séjour
- Christiane (10/5): - Nous avons eu un accueil très chaleureux et disponible
- Hilary (10/5): - This is a very comfortable hotel in a great location on the Grand Place of which we had a lovely view from our window. Would happily return
- Mathyalagan (10/5): - It was perfect place , nicest staff , comfortable and clean and quiet
- Youbeenono (8/5): - Superbe emplacement. Vue sur la place avec le Beffroi et l’hôtel De ville. Le lundi beau marché typique du nord. Quelques difficultés pour joindre l’hôtel par téléphone. Chambre supérieure magnifique, seulement manque le téléphone pour joindre la réception.
Le restaurant en bas appréciable.
- Verified traveler (2/5): A fuir !!! - Pas de courant ni d eau chaude pendant deux jours ....et impossible de parler à responsable de l hotel juste des serveurs désœuvrés....une ristourne a la fin mais sans excuse .....A fuir !!!
- Danielle (10/5): A recommander ! - Cet hôtel est super ! Magnifique chambre, jolie salle de bain avec douche à l'italienne, accueil sympathique, excellent rapport qualité-prix; seul petit reproche: il n'y a pas la clim.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - De hotelkamer oogt enigszins gedateerd, maar de bedden zijn prima.
In de badkamer miste ik een douchekop en douchegordijn waardoor comfortabel douchen niet mogelijk was.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - It was too hot and too loud. A real shame as the location is brilliant. But we had no chance to sleep. If the hotel could buy double-glazing and air-con then I would recommend to everyone.
- Prashanth (2/5): Pathetic Hotel - Such a pathetic hotel. Charging 65+ euros per night and literally no facilities at all.
NO WIFI as described in the ad.
The bathroom doesn’t have any hooks to hang clothes or even towels,
Even the toilet tissues are very old and wet,
The bedsheets are stinking,
The window door doesn’t close properly and one cannot avoid the noisy bars around the hotel,
Overall, a pathetic hotel. Will NOT recommend to anyone.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - chambre très austère,manque d'équipements de base pour mettre ses vêtements(placard,porte manteau,étagères)ou poser ses affaires(1 seul chevet)et éclairage insuffisant
- Cédric (4/5): Bruillant, odeur incommodante et propreté à revoir - Une nuit blanche due à des voisins bourrés et bruillants, une odeur incommodante et un nettoyage nettement améliorable. Dommage car la vue sur la place de nuit est vraiment sympa. Merci malgré tout pour le petit déjeuner offert en compensation.
- Glenn (10/5): stunning outlook - Bethune is such a beautiful town - the town square is straight off the front of a chocolate box and the hotel overlooks its wonderful architecture. It's the perfect stopover if you are en-route to Calais, just an hour south. The hotel's staff are great and the food in the restaurant is outstanding.
- Patrick (8/5): Séjour très agréable. - Hôtel très bien placé.Personnel sympathique. Chambre confortable.
- Nigel (8/5): Bethune at Christmas - In an excellent location overlooking the Grand Place in Bethune ideally located to take advantage of this lovely large town, in our case the local Christmas market which is well worth a visit.
- Andrew (10/5): - Family tradition. Visit to brewery, chocolate shop and Christmas market, wonderful.
- Set (10/5): - Hotel accueillant, dans le centre ville et près de la gare.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great location in the beautiful town centre - Great place, great location. Dog stays for free! Friendly staff and great value.
- Jacques (10/5): Séjour en coupkle - Chambre réservée à l'occcasion d'une cérémonie. Nous connaissions déjà cet hôtel pour y avoir déjà séjourné. A conseiller auprès de ses proches.
- Bruno (10/5): Hotel très agréable - Vue splendide sur le beffroi, salle de bains très moderne, restaurant servant des plats délicieux, personne très aimable
- Paulus (10/5): Keurig hotel in buurt van lille - Prima hotel met goede ontvangst. Taxi stond 08.00 uur de volgende dag keurig beschikbaar. Goed restaurant bij hotel maar niet goedkoop
- Emmanuelle (6/5): chambre côté place à deconseiller car trop bruyant - pb fermeture de porte, j'ai dû cahnger de chambre et co^té place c'est très bruyant le Vendredi soir jusqu'à 1h 2H du matin, malheureusement
Sinon chambre bien, rénovée, et lit confortable
- Emily (10/5): Lovely hotel on the main square - Bethune is a pretty town, and this hotel is right in the middle with a fantastic view over the square. We arrived late (past midnight) but that didn't matter to the staff, who were very helpful. Our room was newly decorated and stylish and had a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was nice. You can park outside the hotel (in the main square) over night. At 8am in the morning the parking meter kicks in and you must get a parking ticket, and pay by the hour.
- Philippe (6/5): Moyen - De l'eau à peine chaude pour la douche et le rasage.
Le restaurant est pratique avec le menu étape.
Hôtel à 10 minutes à pied de la gare ce qui est pratique en l'absence de taxi.
- Beryl (8/5): Good, no frills hotel, lovely staff - Great hotel, great staff and very enjoyable stay. The fair was outside so they moved us to the back of the hotel without us even asking. Great customer service
- Sylvain (8/5): - Très bon hôtel chambre agréable avec tout le confort
Restaurant à recommander plats très bons et copieux, serveurs agréables
- Jean Yves (4/5): Limite.... - Un entretien régulier serait utile
Rideau de douche très limite
- Verified traveler (10/5): hotel recommandable - niveau hôtel trois étoiles atteint
restaurant de bon niveau
- Bidart Sibyl (10/5): Bon accueil. - Bonne impression
- Linda (6/5): Great location, but room for improvement - Brilliant location, friendly staff, modern room, needed extra pillows (but we didn't ask!)
Loud karaoke in bar on Saturday night which we heard although we had a room at the back. Adequate buffet breakfast - they were running out of things -no eggs, dry pancakes cold croissants, just one cup of coffee -room for improvement
- Verified traveler (8/5): hôtel accueillant et propre. - Nous avons eu une chambre double très propre tout comme l'hôtel je ne regrette pas d'être descendu dans cette établissements avec mon chérie pour le festival polar au théâtre Le Poche.
- Andrew (8/5): - Good hotel clean modern room . Cold water in the shower in the evening but hot in the morning .
We were there on a Saturday night so loud music outside until the early hours .
Wi Fi was rubbish and not fast enough to use .
- Philippe (6/5): un petit efgort et ce sera parfait ! - plein centre, gacile pour stationner.
Moderne et tres bien équipé.
un petit efgort de propreté et tout sera ok : tâche sur dessus de lit, table du petit dej collante
- Bruno (10/5): accueil chaleureux, vue magnifique, parfait ! - J'aime beaucoup cet hôtel, les chambres sont belles, la vue magnifique, bref je suis super content. Un petit plus serait de mettre une lumière un peu plus puissante dans la chambre, le soir c'est un peu sombre
- Marie-Christine (6/5): Mitigé - Séjour d'une nuit avec un dîner et un petit déjeuner, on a dû changer de chambre car la bonde du lavabo était coincée et l'eau ne s'évacuait pas, il n'y avait personne pour venir réparer, on a attendu une heure avant d'être servi au restaurant le soir.
Ce qui nous a paru étrange c'est que l'eau froide au lavabo comme à la douche n'était pas froide mais tiède impossible d'avoir de l'eau froide !!!!
Le problème supplémentaire est un problème de parking car il est payant.
- sharon (4/5): If you don't like somebody book them in here - A never to be repeated experience! Started with a 15 minute wait in reception as nobody there. Then a waitress materialised and handed me a key and when asked about wifi etc i was told she wasn't the receptionist. The room was jaded and dirty. Literally covered in dust. The saving grace was the bed was clean. Bathroom was just old, torn Lino on the floor and a hole in the wall. It's in the middle of a busy square so room was like a sauna over a nightclub. No air con and the wifi when I finally got a code didn't work. Staff went out of their way to be rude. Took ages to book out even though I pre paid as they had to work out tax. The whole experience was painful
- esmeralda (6/5): - Un peu vieillot mais excellent accueil de la part du personnel et idéalement situé au centre ville animé !
- Hilary (8/5): Quiet in the daytime !! - Hotel maintenance needs improving - no lift, shower door broken, mirror light not working
Do not have a front room unless you don't mind noise - lively pub right net door open till early hours !!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Nice place, good location - No hot water so had to carry on our journey to the alps unwashed.
- Verified traveler (2/5): noisy and broken - I would not recommend this hotel. The restaurant on the bottom floor is open till 2am and the noise from the patio echoes around the courtyard so do not plan on sleeping till pass then. The elevator is broken and it is a long walk up. The mattress is broken down and sags badly in the middle, The room had a film of dust over everything.
A very unpleasant weekend.
- Qanda (8/5): Good hotel centre of town - Excellent room & bar facilities, enjoyed our stay here, but beware getting a meal on a Saturday night anywhere in Bethune is difficult
- Sean (6/5): Great location overlooking the main square - A great location right on the beautiful & historic main square. I took the 10-15 minute walk from the train station but there is a bus and taxis. The external view is of a grand old building from another century however the inside is modern and comfortable. I didn't use the bar or restaurant but they looked nice and busy.
My room was comfortable but nothing outstanding. Decent TV but no tea making facilities. Bathroom was ok albeit a little tired. Shower overflowed onto floor due to shower tray being shallow and curtain a little short. Great view over the square towards the Belfry tower.
Staff were fine but not overly customer focused. Several times I had to wait around before one came through from the bar area to see to me, without any apology for having to wait around.
A few doors away is an Irish pub and the square has many bars and restaurants too. The streets immediately leading off the square have nice shops etc but Bethune itself appeared a ,little run down.
- Verified traveler (6/5): great location , - the only problem we had with the room was the smell of the bathroom was terrible. the irish bar next to the hotel was the best bar I have ever been in
- Verified traveler (6/5): ok - ok no more comments this is taking more than 2 mins
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great position. - Lovely warm bedrooms for very cold winter weekend.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Good Value Hotel - Hotel reception were surprised to see us as Expedia had not told them we were coming!!
Luckily they had rooms free and gave us a lovely room overlooking the main square with the beautiful Christmas Market.
- kenneth (6/5): Satisfied customer - Stayed for 4 nights for a military event in the area. Found the hotel reasonable for a budget price. The food in the restaurant was good, apart from a some items missing from the order at times. The staff are friendly and hard working. Any requests were attended to promptly.
I would stay there again if in the area.
- Lenny (4/5): Lovely hotel and location. Shame about service - The room was clean and comfortable. Bathroom, which looked recently refurbished, was roomy with good, hot, powerful shower. Bed was comfortable but no easy chair and the upright chair was quite old with dirty fabric. Only French language channels on TV (I would expect one of BBC world or CNN)
I got the impression that the beautiful location and lack of competition for food has led to this hotel resting on its laurels as far as service is concerned. The greeting at reception was very cursory - just given a key and told 'second floor'. The service in the restaurant was dreadful. I went in, identified myself as a resident and ordered a drink then a starter and main course. Twenty five minutes later I managed to catch a waiter's eye (they were talking and joking a lot with each other and with a local family they seemed to know who had come in to eat - I felt like an intruder in their private house) he came across to tell me that they didn't have the starter and main that I had ordered. When I protested that I had been waiting for 25 minutes he said 'Je suis desole' in a dead pan voice and turned away. I got the impression that poorly trained staff had been left to get on with things with no competent supervision or management.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Stayed for 1 night - Arrived at 2am and was not let into the hotel till 02:45 as the rectionist was in the bar area and we had to wait outside until he realised we was there and it took 30 mins for him to find our resivation
- Jane (4/5): Nice position, pity about the hotel - Great location on the square over looking the bell tower. The hotel looked unkempt, with litter on the stairs and not very clean. Our room was tatty, ripped wallpaper, dirty marks, loose fittings and a plastic sheet as a shower curtain - the water went everywhere!! Looks like there were some refurbished rooms, but we did not get one, although the hotel was far from full. The bed was clean and comfortable. In essence rather disapointing.
