Hôtel du Tramway

We arrived around 7.30pm after a long drive. We were able to use the microwave to heat our meal and receptionist was so friendly and accommodating. The place was spotless and very quiet in the bedrooms. Parked right outside the hotel for free. Plenty of choice for breakast.

Excellent hotel for a 1 night stopover . Close to the motorway and a couple of reasonable restaurants nearby.

A very convenient place to stay on the way back to the Channel Tunnel. The rooms are comfortable with an ingenious bathroom “pod” similar to what you may find in Ferry cabin or Campervan. On street parking, in BLUE parking bays (Parking Bleu) from 18:00 is free until 09:00 and between 12:30 & 14:00. One and a half hours free parking is also allowed if you purchase a “Parking Disque” from the Bookshop close by. Secure Parking IS an available on request but I understand there are very few spaces, I think 3(?). Breakfast has a nice selection including boil it yourself eggs! The number 4 bus will take you from the station to the City on the hill or it is approximately 5 minutes by car. The Cathedral and Medieval streets are interesting with a LOT of history and there are nice places to eat, including the hotel opposite the Cathedral.

Don't be put off by the location or facade. Very welcoming staff. Very clean and quiet. Secure parking was offered at the rear for 3 euros. Comfy large bed. We walked up the steps to the cathedral . Lovely area with shops and restaurants. Also a lovely view for miles... No hesitation to return here.

Mislead by the high rating into thinking this would be something quite special. It really isn't. The reception girl told me it's busiest during the week as a business stopover and I can see it working for that but I suspect most people checking this review will be looking at it as a stopover from Eurotunnel down South and it won't be making the repeat list for me. The pros - the woman at reception was lovely and as helpful as she could be. Dogs accepted (necessary for us). Cheap (3 euros) secure parking - and not in tight underground space. Close to a couple of good restaurants for dinner. (Particularly recommend Zorn Cote Bistro) Cons for me - the tiniest tiniest bathroom we've ever had in a hotel. It was the same miniscule area as a student accommodation ensuite and barely bigger than a ferry ensuite with no proper shower. The hotel cost is cheap but not that cheap - similar to Days Inn or Travelodge and I'd expect better bathrooms for that; cheap on toiletries/drinks tray - 1 coffee sachet, 1 tea bag, 1 cream per person so one drink's your limit (we'd already asked for more as originally we only had 1 between us) and paper cups, not real ones. Reception doesn't open til 4 on the dot. Not a place we'll be returning to.

The hotel was spotlessly clean everywhere - bed was super comfy and shutters make the room totally dark so sleeping was easy - very quiet despite being near the railway- parking is very secure and car stays cool in the garage - staff very friendly and helpful - breakfast was lovely.
