Hôtel de Paris

Do not turn up earlier than 3pm that is when the receptionist arrived on site. So no early drop off for luggage. When we gained entry (at 3pm) we were met by a grumpy chap. When I enquired whether breakfast was included I was given a yes or no simply, "if you want breakfast you must order now so that the breakfast can be ordered for tomorrow." The attitude was real Fawlty Towers. I could not bebothered to ask my question again as we were leaving in the morning. The following morning we walked past an empty dining area and were met by Monsieur Grump who displayed his other polar self wishing us a happy day. Obviously happy to see guests depart rather than arrive. The hotel is in the middle of town just down the road on the corner is a very good pizza restaurant.

Clean and quiet room, albeit lacking the decorative bed runner that adds character in the photos. Fluffy hotel cat. But one thing bothered me about my short stay. The Hotel de Paris website states that they store luggage and to inform them if it will be outside of their normal reception hours, so I emailed beforehand letting them know that I'd need to drop my luggage after my train arrived at noon. They emailed back asking for a time; I responded with a 15-minute window. Imagine my confusion on arrival when, after a somewhat chilly reception, the clerk dryly informed me that I was "lucky" he was there, since normally he wouldn't be. So had I NOT been so "lucky" (after two emails), I would have wasted the bulk of my only afternoon in Limoges on a drizzly Sunday stuck outside with my suitcase. Though our later interactions were friendlier, I feel that was a breakdown worth noting.

A very basic but clean hotel. We had a 2 night stay here in a double room. This hotel is a traditional old building with very high ceilings and an extra noisy plumbing system. Resulting in every noise being echoed around the place. A reasonable breakfast for €10 of pastry ,bread eggs and ham.

Excellent value for money, spotlessly clean, comfortable, helpful staff, nice breakfast . Within easy walking distance of Limoges Benedictins railway station and its adjacent Terminal Cars bus station. A good base to explore Limoges and the surrounding area.

A perfect stay at this lovely hotel. Spotlessly clean, very friendly and helpful host who speaks excellent english. Super french breakfast. Close to the centre and railway station. We will be staying again in the future.

You get one miserable pillow for your bed. Question of doubt when you say, only one towel in our room for two people… breakfast, is from the processed packet. More importantly, don’t touch the automatic door - that’s the greeting you get from your host. I could go on….. but we won’t be back. P. S. Bring your own shower gel Barry - Ireland 🇮🇪
