Hotel in zona Place René Goblet, Amiens

Hotel molto ben situato non lontano dalla cattedrale, il personale è a cura di piccoli. La nostra camera è situata sul lato strada quindi un po' di rumore ...ma siamo in città !! Bemol per la camera l'acqua calda che è molto lungo da arrivare ... Preciso che questo hotel non dispone di ascensore o di aria condizionata. Il buffet era perfetto.. senza parcheggio sottoterra più economico dei parcheggi

We have stayed here many times, mainly because it is bang opposite our favourite restaurant between the channel and Paris (Les Orfevres) and it makes a convenient stop to and from our home in the south. It has never been a joyous experience, and it is both more expensive and less generous than some other hotels in the group which we often use. However, usually, it has been fine for an overnight convenience. This time it really fell short of what’s acceptable. For the second time running, the air-conditioning in the room that we were allocated didn’t work. On the previous occasion, we realised in time to change rooms, but this time it was too late to do so without huge upheaval and in fact it mattered more because it was a warmer night. Result: a very poor night’s sleep. But what it shows is that although the whole hotel is supposed to have AC, the maintenance is so bad that it’s actually a complete lottery as to whether you get it or not. Also whatever the ambient weather, it’s only ever been switched on in the core summer months. The other major issue was the breakfast. We arrived at about 7.30 to find almost every unoccupied table covered with dirty plates and the dishes of scrambled eggs and bacon already almost empty. They remained unreplenished when we finished more than half an hour later. Not that they were very attractive anyway. The bacon was undercooked and sitting in a pool of oily water and the eggs were pale, grey and unappetisingly watery. The coffee (only one machine to serve the whole hotel) was coarse and bitter and there was only one croissant on the buffet. In France! The staff seemed more interested in demanding room numbers than ensuring that there was actually some breakfast to eat!! This Mercure also offers the worst gluten-free options of any hotel in the group: just some dispiriting tasteless little white rolls cooked from frozen. They are just about edible when hot from the oven but, if you make the mistake of ordering them in advance, they arrive cold and are absolutely dire! On this occasion I brought a couple of slices of own home-made bread and toasted it. It was the highlight of a disappointing stay! There’s another sense in which they fall short of other Accor Group properties. Regular customers with sufficient accumulated loyalty get a free welcome drink, often a very nice wine or even champagne in Reims. Here it’s the cheapest plonk on their list and frankly undrinkable. Moreover, although the rule is strictly one drink for the cardholder, not for his companion, most hotels offer two drinks. Here it’s meanly one, even for customers who have stayed in this very hotel a good dozen times in a year. We’ve noticed a steady decline in maintenance over the recent past and maybe this isn’t unconnected with the fact that the hotel manager considers it appropriate to chain his own massive motorbike in the doorway.

Non è mai un buon inizio quando nessuno vi ha detto che si può accedere al parcheggio adiacente solo ricevendo una carta RFID dalla ricezione (e buona fortuna trovare dove fermarsi sulla strada in un pomeriggio occupato venerdì pomeriggio). Il parcheggio è sporco, sporco e non ha ascensore, quindi si sta praticando il sollevamento di peso mentre si negozia le scale. Il prossimo problema: il corridoio alla stanza era ribaltato di fumo di sigarette - la porta era aperta con (ovviamente) un estintore, in modo che il ”balcone” potesse essere utilizzato come zona di fumo. La stanza era così profumata di fumo (e piena di volpe).Il problema più grande: era un giorno molto caldo (e era una settimana calda), ma il condizionamento dell’aria non funzionava. Il personale non era affatto interessato, dicevano che non era la stagione per A/C e che non era possibile aprire la finestra su una strada occupata = un sacco di rumore (e la stanza non si raffreddava nemmeno tanto). La camera per colazione era insostenibile (perché non c'era nemmeno l'A/C) e la scelta era di scarsa qualità e limitata. Non che si notasse: il sole pieno, nessun cieco, morire di calore prima di poter consumare molto. Ho visto alcune recensioni positive di questo hotel, quindi forse li abbiamo in un brutto giorno, ma non consiglierei assolutamente nessuno di restare qui a meno che non si confermi che l'A/C sta lavorando **and ** in realtà si è girato .....

Nice appart hotel with comfortable bed. It was clean and comfortable, with a good size of bed. They had a kettle but it would be nice to have a tea or coffee sachet also, as for two nights we had to buy a whole pack of coffee or tea. Also it was difficult to park at the nearby roads and in general in Amiens. Also it was around 20 minutes walk from the city center.

Camera di studio. Al centro a piedi 30 minuti o 15 minuti con l'autobus. La zona non mi sembrava molto tranquilla. In descrizione l'errore era respiratorio 24 ore al giorno, se arrivate a notte, i documenti saranno rilasciati solo al mattino. La stanza è grande, pulita. La piombo funziona. Il colazione è in valore e molto decente (muschi, crociere, yogurt, arance, formaggio, burro, salsa).

Very clean, modern, well equipped, quiet and comfortable Hotel for short stays. Well designed rooms, very clean, neat and comfortable. Bathrooms were great, very clean, well designed and for the price wide above standard. Bike room is great to secure costly bikes. Very nice, attentive personnel, everybody. Anybody speaks English also. Communication before arrival was great, thoughtful and accommodating. We got the offer to get two rooms which can be connected, so the kids (6 and 7) could sleep with us in the same room. For us it was important they have a car parking without height restrictions and parking on hotel property. This was the main reason to choose. We're coming back at our next journey to Bretagne.

Its been a few years since we last visited this Ibis and little has changed just more poppy items. The room was clean and tidy with a tv (no English channels) but there is no kettle here so travellers take note. The hotel is easy to find and Albert town centre is only a 15 minute walk away and supermarkets are close by as our Kentucky and Mc Donalds. The start of the battlefields of the Somme are only a short drive away and all get busy in late June and early July. Nice Ibis in a good location with good staff what more do you want. Bon Journey
