Reviews for Hotel De La Poste
Review 1：I put dislikes in the "like" section because I overlooked the dislikes when I first booked this hotel, due to the nature of the website. Another dislike - they lock the hotel around 9:30pm and that means you can't get in OR OUT without calling the owner who will be very cranky with you. So not for people who like to eat late or explore the city after dark. Also while we were able to get parking, there are only about 2-3 spaces available so make sure to reserve parking ahead.
Review 2：Great location right in city center. Very clean with comfortable bed and great pillows. HOWEVER - WIFI won't work in your room, toilet didn't flush, some staff were quite rude, and no food allowed in your room (you will get yelled at).
Review 3：1. No wifi. It's not working. 21st century and no wifi in hotel 2. Horrible and ugly bathroom 3. Stuff don't speak English, very difficult to communicate 4. Parking costs ~10 € / per night. No free parking
Review 4：1. Very friendly stuff 2. Huge room 3. Stylish hotel 4. In the center 5.
Review 5：No information until we asked, that an evening meal wasn't available on Sunday evening. Although staff were happy to let us out and have the garage unlocked by 0700, no tea or coffee were offered at that time. Perhaps we should have asked. Wifi was inconsistent, not successful on second floor - incoming messages arriving but research on the net not sustained.
Review 6：Excellent location, In the lovely town centre. The staff were friendly and did everything we asked. Close to several likely restaurants and the beautiful river front. The car was secured overnight in a locked garage for 10Eu.
Review 7：Bad value for our money,excepted a lot more,owner not in the slightest interested in helping us out,will not stay here again.
Review 8：Not a lot,overpriced food,no bar to relax in very poor indeed!
Review 9：Good location in the centre of the old town. Not luxury accommodations, but very clean, a spacious bedroom and bathroom, pleasant surroundings and staff.
Review 10：the decor in the hallways was very dark, and a bit quirky, all heavy hessian. No air conditioning in the room, and it was difficult to leave the window open by much as it looked onto a main city square. therefore we could hear the late nighters...it was a bit noisy
Review 11：the friendliness of the hosts who were happy to chat. The docile big dog! the location which was right bang in the centre of the town, and above all the excellent dinner served by our hosts. Real French food, and such a pleasure after several mediocre meals we have had on our travels.
Review 12：The hotel is located at the Place des Cordeliers which is often noisy at night. At hot summer days temperature in the rooms becomes unbearable.
Review 13：Interesting old building.
Review 14：Possibly the smallest loo in France. Impossible to close the door! All the walls in the corridors are covered in orange/brown sisal matting, the ceilings are dark orange and the carpets are red/brown and the lighting is poor - bizarre to say the least! Our room was bright & cheery though.
Review 15：The food.
Review 16：The owners were not very welcoming at all. Actually quite rude in comparison to some of the welcomings we've experienced this trip. No attempt was made to even be polite, making us feel quite uncomfortable.
Review 17：The location was excellent & right in the centre of town. The hotel was lovely & the rooms were beautiful.
Review 18：Facing the main town square, which was cleaned by machine very early in the morning. Windows were open as there is no air conditioning
Review 19：Staff were very good. Food was good.
Review 20：No elevator. Can do over night parking without getting from hotel. Didn't want the garage open before 7 am. We had to get to the airport for a flight.
Review 21：Our room was very nice. It was on the top floor.
Review 22：Wi fi was not strong.
Review 23：Lovely hotel. Large rooms. Fantastic shower. Friendly staff. The best part of the stay was our evening meal. I was in a party of 6 and we chose the set menu. Everyone was extremely happy with their food - some of the best we have had in France. By having an evening meal in the restaurant, we received our breakfast for free. I recommend this hotel.
Review 24：Television didn't work. Room overlooked by market place, no net curtains so had to keep main curtains closed making room very dark
Review 25：Good position for the town
Review 26：We had a room in the top of the building and in case of a fire.......how to get safe out ......?
Review 27：Staff, eating and drinking and value for money, location, parking
Review 28：Situation was central, but not very nice. The Hotel was quite dirty with it´s corridor walls covered with a deep red sort of vowen carpet. It looked dirty and we kept our clothes and luggage locked in the car for the night. Which was good as we had several red bits on arms and leggs in the morning. Stayed only one night and left France for Germany!
Review 29：Had we not booked in advance we would not have stayed.It looked tatty outside and the inside needed a total update.The huge dog at reception was very off-putting even though we have dogs of our own.
Review 30：Breakfast was good. Near to the Cathedral.
Review 31：Horrible hotel , staff not friendly in any way. Dark and unwelcoming also smelt of dogs. Rooms basic and uncomfortable. The worst hotel I have ever stayed in. Would not recommend to any one.
Review 32：Nothing
Review 33：The rooms need tea and coffee making facilities. The TV could do with an English language station such as BBC World or CNN. A large dog was allowed to walk around although it was docile and dog lovers wont be offended by it.The common areas are cramped with a very small sitting area for residents. The corridors are rather dark with a heavy wall covering.
Review 34：This is a centrally located hotel with an individual character. It is situated a short walk from the cathedral and the riverside and next to a car park if space is not available in the yard which can accomaodate only 3 or 4 vehicles at most. If you can park in the yard it is locked at night for security. The breakfast was very good and plentiful in French style. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
Review 35：Very average 2 star .Dark corridors,steep stairs,room on second floor.Elderly Guest with limited mobility. Given alternative room on first floor but charged extra. Room + 2breakfasts+parking 97Euro Ok, it is an old building ,water takes a while to run hot Breakfast ok but not overwhelmingly exciting. Parking charge on hotel property. Would not stay again by choice

Review 91：Decor a bit old fashioned (particularly the corridors)....but for us, this added to the charm! Our room didn't have air conditioning but that was fine as the room was at the cooler shadey side of the hotel. This might have been a problem if we had been on the sunny side.

Review 100：The location was excellent and that was about all we liked
