Reviews for Akena City Brive
Review 1：We had a non smoking room and there was a disgusting smell of smoke. Even if we opened the window it remained. The smell was even attached to the bed sheets
Review 2：Location Parking included Comfortable
Review 3：Great location. Very convenient. Good restaurant next door. Clean bedding & room. Basic but everything we needed. Quiet room despite being near a motorway. Secure parking.
Review 4：When using wifi kept getting message requesting lots of personal details to be able to log on (email, home address, phone numbers etc) purported to be on behalf of security services, but never had this anywhere else before, so probably phishing. Could be a problem with secure wifi. Not too much soundproofing, child screaming and doors banging clearly heard.
Review 5：Price was good, location close to motorway, but short drive into city for restaurants etc.
Review 6：No problems.
Review 7：The staff were all unfailingly helpful and friendly unlike some rival hotel chains we've tried we will use them again with confidence and pleasure.
Review 8：Nothing. It's does what it's meant to which is to provide good comfortable overnight accommodation

Review 10：We would have liked some extra pillows
Review 11：Good location, close to autoroute, but not noisy. Good room size. All clean and working. Coffee vending machine good idea for out of hours drinks. Helpful staff when I had to ring to say we would be arriving late. All in all, a very smooth and hassle-free experience
Review 12：Free WiFi ? yes if you sign up for all the nuisance advertising. I never turn off adblocker, I managed to get around it but didn't feel secure. The cockroach in the shower, was a surprise, haven't seen one of them for a while
Review 13：if you just wanted a quick stop near the motorway, not visiting Brive, then excellent. If not, then less than good, a long way from town. Good price for reasonable service, very friendly and helpful staff
Review 14：Easy to get to from motorway so not so did not have to drive far off our route to stop over. Close to restaurants so didn't have to drive to eat. Clean rooms easy check in no delays.
Review 15：Very basic rooms, bathrooms and facilities. Breakfast poor. WiFi requires full personal details registration (OK that's for terrorist protection) but also wants you to agree they can use your personal information for marketing purposes!

Review 46：Easy to find and a short drive into town centre. Lovely restaurant called Beouf et Maree a short walk across the car park if you don't want to drive.Great value for the money!!
Review 47：The name on the marquee is actually Hotel City Brive.
Review 48：Ok and very accessible from the autoroute. Beds comfortable, rooms simple but clean. Very easy system for computerized check in if you arrive after 8pm, and I liked the keyless entry system. Didn't hear any noise, but with our kids, we were the ones making noise. Sorry neighbors.
Review 49：tv did not work. there was a bad smell in the room, keeping the window open over night was helpful. I am sure, the floor-carpets have to be changed, they give you a really disgusting impression. The restaurant below the hotel is not a really good one!
Review 50：a place quite ok for one night, the bathroom is ok, the room is not too small, the staff is very friendly. Parkimg is free and close to the house.
Review 51：Bedside reading light too low down to be useful. Lighting for reading not good.
Review 52：Good shower, secure parking. Very convenient location for overnight stop. Good restaurant next door.
Review 53：We booked, because it said 'soundproof room'. We do not like noisy roads in front of the hotel room. But the hotel is an extremely cheap construction. It does not even have a ventilation system. So you must open the window, if you don't want to suffocate at night in the tiny rooms. Of course the noise comes in then and the night wasnt't too refreshing.
Review 54：not quite what I would call "city" as it was out of brive near an industrial estate but this didn't spoil our visit.
Review 55：good service and quite clean.
Review 56：Very easy to get to from the motorway. Although no restaurant on site, hot meals are available and there is a very good restaurant next door. Very good coffee in the drinks machine in Reception, too!
Review 57：Car park gate not closed during night, since I was looking for secure car park when booked.
Review 58：Good location, big car park and quiet area even if close to highway.
Review 59：Nothing we did not like all great
Review 60：We had a excellent stay we would our stay at this hotel one of the best out of the six we stayed at for over night stops
Review 61：Room was comfortable and clean,staff were friendly and very close to the Poivre Rouge restaurant, very good for an overnight stop, which is what we used the hotel for.
Review 62：There was nothing I did not like though would have preferred it to have been a little closer to the town centre,
Review 63：The cleanliness of the room and the friendliness and helpfullness of the staff especially as I had to ask for help in ordering a taxi as I do not speak french.
Review 64：What didn't we like? well, nothing really, as our needs were only for a one night stop on our journey home to England and it proved to be just right.
Review 65：For a one night budget stopover, this hotel was a really pleasant surprise, the best bit being air conditioning in our room as the outside temps were very high, giving us a really comfortable nights sleep. The staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was quite adequate. Its location was good as well, as access to the main route we were travelling was only a minute away. All in all, a very good hotel for a one night stopover. Recommended.
Review 66：It was very hot, there was no A.C., we opened the window and the room was filled with flies- we could sleep all night long. We asked for extra pillows- there weren't any . The room was extremely small and smelled. Terrible experience
Review 67：nothing
Review 68：Perfect for a one night stopover. Close to motorway, friendly staff, free wifi, clean room and excellent value for money breakfast. Would definately stay again.
Review 69：the breakfast (continental style) is 6 euros per person extra. Everything else was great.
Review 70：The hotel staff were welcoming and friendly, and very accommodating. The triple room we had was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed. The rooms are really sound-proofed and quiet. The parking is enclosed, gated at night and private. The hotel is set up on a hill, so away from the main road noise, yet close to Brive center. Accessibility is very good with elevator and pull up to door offloading.
