Reviews for Le Grand Hotel
Review 1:- unfriendly staff. - I was in a room with view on a roof and walls. - overpriced for Valenciennes.
Review 2:+ 13 Euro breakfast contains scrambled eggs. + The restaurant has a good reputation.
Review 3:The ventilation in the room could be a better; opening the window for this in the night is not a good option since then you get the noise from the streets.
Review 4:Excellent location and and very nice staff who helped with everything needed. Private parking facility was very good, considering the location of the hotel in the city.
Review 5:The hotel offers free wifi but my room #105, had extremely bad connection and could connect neither iPad nor iPhone. Therefore I had to sit at the lobby or stand at the corridor of 1st floor.
Review 6:If you are traveling by train, the best location.
Review 7:1. I don't like it, if a hotel doesn't have to offer you a city-map. For the hotel it would be easy to get some hundred copies (at the tourism office in the "Spanish House"), whereas for the tourist it's a lot of effort and loss of time to get one. 2. One of the (male) receptionists was quite unwilling to give (or provide) informations about travelling facilities (e.g. how to go to the famous romano-celtic ruins of Bavay); an other (female) receptionist tried indeed to be helpful. 3. The price for the weekend was ok. I prolonged for one night, which was quite expensive. 4. The price for the breakfast in my opinion is highly exaggerated. 5. So my judgment of this house is ambivalent. At the conditions of a special offer I would go there an other time, otherwise I would rather try some other locations.
Review 8:You leave the railway-station, deposit your luggage vis-à-vis and start your visiting plans.
Review 9:no shower but bathtub with no curtain or glass.. result = flood in the toilet! carpet floor
Review 10:In front of the station but quiet; Check-out at 12:00; bottle of water, coffee, tea for free (kettle available)
Review 11:The restaurant's menu was posh, only 2 dishes I would of had and the one I did was very salty. Plus the restaurant staff barely spoke and looked miserable. Outside the hotel the street to the left smelt horrible (I understand this wasn't the hotels fault though)
Review 12:Staff at reception very friendly and helpful. The hotel is just opposite the train station. The area is very close to the centre and has lots to do.
Review 13:Location is in town center (if you do not like that) Cost of food is on high side Bar starts to close at 10 and you are encouraged to go ... but is listed as open till 12
Review 14:Hotel has been refurbed Room cost is OK for the area Food is Good Location is in town center (if you like that) Old building but clean
Review 15:Parking is difficult as the Hotel has no own parking places.
Review 16:The position of the hotel
Review 17:If I was being picky, the room was a bit small

Review 33:Very good location next to station
Review 34:Friendly helpful staff, without exception they made us welcome and most of them spoke English enough for all our enquiries and requests to be met promptly.
Review 35:The area outside the station attracts some noisy individuals at night. I needed to have the window open because the weather was hot, there was no aircon in the room, and the fan provided in the room was itself noisy.
Review 36:Location opposite station very convenient when travelling by train. Friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room. Good hotel restaurant, but others in the vicinity.
Review 37:N.A.
Review 38:The hotel was excellent throughout with very good staff. I last stayed at this hotel in 2008 and since then it was obvious it had been redecorated throughout to a very high standard. I will diffidently be staying at this hotel for my business trips again and again.
Review 39:Hard bed ,double size too small for 2 people in hot weather with very uncomfortable pillows. Lack of airconditioning and noisy with windows open. and ventilation in bathroom appeared to be non existant.
Review 40:Good sized room &helpful staff.
Review 41:About 15 minutes walk from main centre. Two coach loads of English tourists booked in whilst we were there and, although they dined in a separate room, it is not the best if you are looking for a "French experience". .
Review 42:"Prestige double room" booked which was very comfortable. Excellent restaurant.
Review 43:No international TV channels. No iron in the room.
Review 44:Location 100 m from railway station. Reach bufet breakfast (15EUR), WiFi internet in the room free of charge. Helpful staff,
Review 45:Some carpets getting old, otherwise good maintenance of the interior
Review 46:Friendly staff, spacious room with bath, perfect WiFi on room, airconditioning, cook at breakfast making your own fried eggs where you see it and presents these at your table, pleasant interior, nice nostalgic bar and restaurant, good for small committee meetings, located right opposite station.
Review 47:Breakfast expensive (EUR15), furniture worn, average mattress, black stains in shower cabin which did not close properly, severe limestone mark in toilet, I got a smaller room paying EUR97.50/night then another person paying EUR85/night.
Review 48:Location (in front of railway station), free WiFi, warm room but ventilation could be better,
Review 49:I stayed on the third floor for ten days - and the second floor for four days. Even though the room on the third floor was clean it was outdated and I preferred my room on the third floor the next visit.
Review 50:Valerie at the reception desk went out of her way to help when ever I needed direction. Over all I stayed in the Hotel on two occasions for the month of October for two weeks. The staff on all floors were excellent.
Review 51:Parking - on street meters were better value than the long stay car parking for our type of visit
Review 52:Quiet and perfect location for us visiting Valenciennes
Review 53:Very good hotel. Staff is very kind, room is clean, good location.goodfrench restaurant. Missing point is "No wifi connection". I cannotconnect wifi connection. Therefore I cannot work in my room.
Review 54:Le Grand Hotel surfs onto this wave of posh, classy hotels; however, itsfar behind like. Being a youngster I always said to myself I would stayonce in my life in this hotel; and so I did... And so I would not do itagain; essentially there's nothing wrong with it, but nothing to justifyeither 85 Euro per night , nor 13.50 Euros per head for a buffetbreakfast.Once you're passed the beautiful front walls, and thereception; the first hint is the lift... Outdated commands and clearlyretrofitted makes up for a tiny and slow lift... Then comes the openingof your bedroom door, old kinda punched pvc card and then comes thetired mattress and the outdated early 80's furniture which was chippedand scratched in our bedroom. Nonetheless, still one of the best andvery few independently (Family even maybe) run Hotel around and as suchdeserves its fair chance.
Review 55:All the staff at reception was always not only willing to help but readyto help and would do everything they could to help; this is, in myhumble opinion what is keeping this place afloat like!Han's ; the attached "brasserie"; is good, but not exceptional; however, there again the kindness and "always possible" attitude of the staff saves it all like ! The bathroom was newly refurbished and was spotless, nothing to say there.
Review 56:I had booked a superior room at additional cost, there was no heating inthe bathroom the mirror in the bathroom was broken the shower did notwork properly, the wireless internet was completely useless with speedso slow that I could not even log into the company server, the room ingeneral was ok but certainly not superior. With value for money ratherpoor. I will not be staying at the Grand hotel again.
