Reviews for Hôtel balladins Saintes
Review 1：The room was one of the smallest rooms we have found in many trips to France. There was barely enough room for two people and a suitcase.
Review 2：Location and staff were great
Review 3：Close to main road: convenient. Breakfast was basic but fresh and filling, and the breakfast room was very cozy. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lot of information on local attractions which we might make time to look at on a future visit.
Review 4：This hotel is a tired shabby dump, the rooms haven't been painted in years, the beds are uncomfortable and despite claiming to have WiFi the WiFi is none existent. We were going to pay for breakfast until we saw what was on offer and decided a motorway stop offered better value. I would liken the room to a prison cell.
Review 5：We liked nothing about this hotel.
Review 6：Room far too small, nowhere to put luggage, wardrobe was two coat hangers in tiny space, lights over bed didn't work. In the shower, had to keep opening shower screen to keep light on. Very poor hotel.
Review 7：Good flat screen TV
Review 8：Worse than a youth hostel- for £100 (140 euros) for 1 night in a tiny flimsy room this was terrible value for money. No facilities really. Would not recommend. Located in a kind of industrial estate.
Review 9：A friendly receptionist
Review 10：The size of the rooms were too small. At least my room was. I didn't visit every room, but if all rooms are the same size, then this would be very difficult for 2 persons to live for 1 week or so. It maybe a good place for a stop-over. It was very tight. The outside of the building is more like a motel. I didn't like the fact that I had to press on a shower button to have it work every 2 minutes.
Review 11：The huge bed. The owner(s) were very kind people. Very happy to assist. The parking space was very convenient. The breakfast had eggs, OJ, cereal, etc, which is good. Its self service.
Review 12：Notified hotel of our late arrival but we couldn't find our room or key! Had to contact booking.com who were very helpful. Not really good at. 11pm when you just want to sleep.
Review 13：Lack of black out curtain. I had to call ahead to figure out how to check in as reception closes. You would think a highway motel would have a 24h reception
Review 14：Great location along main highway. Rooms were clean.
Review 15：Location in an industrial area. Uncomfortable beds and cheap decor. Rooms smelled of stale cigarette smoke.

Review 56：very basic and sleeping arrangements cramped.1star

Review 58：the noise outside our room. had to contact reception at 11.15pm who came and asked the other people to be quiet which they did for about 10 minutes then started again with doors being banged, shouting, loud tv. cars were coming and going all night from the room below and we wondered whether it was actually used by (ladies of the night!!) complained to hotel manager verbally and by internet but no reply. not impressed the hotel at all.
Review 59：the breakfast was reasonable with a fair choice
Review 60：The room was very small, by the time we had our luggage in we could not walk round. This Balladins is more like a motel, we had a room upstairs and the floor moved when walking about.
Review 61：The hotel had recently been updated in some areas.
Review 62：Bathrooms overdue replacement.
Review 63：Staff clearly well trained. Obvious signs of very good management. Breakfast a real surprise at this price point - excellent value and choice.
Review 64：very tired and scruffy motel room with a note from management apologising for the state of the bathroom and telling me it was due to be refurbished, Sure needs it. A depressing overnight stay
Review 65：convenient for break in journey to spain. take dogs.
Review 66：No air con, faulty wiring, no offer of compensation when our night was interrupted by repeated electrical faults.
Review 67：Cheap for the time of year in this area of France. The room was compact and clean but not good for more than putting your head down for a night on the way to somewhere else as the shower was difficult to use (at waist height) and the electricity had many faults...! It was at least easy to get to from the motorway.
Review 68：Noisy. Also portable bathroom added in room may surprise some. A bit small but spotless.
Review 69：Good value for money. Helpfull staff... Clean and good breakfast . Handy off motorway . Ideal for cheap overnight stay only.
Review 70：Everything. We had booked 3 single beds as we were 3 large adults, 2seniors and one 42 years. We were given a tiny musty box with a doublebed and a tiny child's bunk and despite our complaint and showingour booking form which clearly stated that we were to have 3 beds for 3adults we were told this was all that was available (after we had paid.)We had to try and get a few hours sleep crammed into one bed with apainfully thin matress. Even if we could have climbed the tiny ladder-the width of my ipad - we could not have fitted into the space while itwould have collapsed. There was not even a plug to get a wash. I havenever stayed in such a dreadful place and I am 72 and slept in morehotels than I can remember and to think we rejected another place athalf the cost as it was a double bed with a bunk. Thank god we had notbooked breakfast. I advise others to give it a wide birth.
Review 71：Hotel staff disappeared early evening. Huge group of young men started partying next door. Bottles all over, shouting and screaming all night. Motor highway noise + party noise = no sleep!
