Hôtel du Tramway(Hotel du Tramway)

Klein, aber fein! Sehr nette Dame an der Rezeption, die mehrere Sprachen spricht und alles gut erklären kann. Das Zimmer war ruhig und sauber. Das Frühstück ist empfehlenswert. Die Umgebung ist abwechslungsreich, nette Restaurants und Bars, sowie die 365 Stufen zur Kathedrale! Die alte Seilbahn fährt leider seit 2016 nicht mehr…

Mislead by the high rating into thinking this would be something quite special. It really isn't. The reception girl told me it's busiest during the week as a business stopover and I can see it working for that but I suspect most people checking this review will be looking at it as a stopover from Eurotunnel down South and it won't be making the repeat list for me. The pros - the woman at reception was lovely and as helpful as she could be. Dogs accepted (necessary for us). Cheap (3 euros) secure parking - and not in tight underground space. Close to a couple of good restaurants for dinner. (Particularly recommend Zorn Cote Bistro) Cons for me - the tiniest tiniest bathroom we've ever had in a hotel. It was the same miniscule area as a student accommodation ensuite and barely bigger than a ferry ensuite with no proper shower. The hotel cost is cheap but not that cheap - similar to Days Inn or Travelodge and I'd expect better bathrooms for that; cheap on toiletries/drinks tray - 1 coffee sachet, 1 tea bag, 1 cream per person so one drink's your limit (we'd already asked for more as originally we only had 1 between us) and paper cups, not real ones. Reception doesn't open til 4 on the dot. Not a place we'll be returning to.
