The residence was easy to find and wasn’t far from the city centre, but was situated a stone’s throw from an extremely busy railway line and sidings. Checking-in was straightforward and the guy on Reception made a real effort to communicate in English. We paid for the room and for private underground parking @ 9 euros a night and we were pleasantly surprised to find how easy the access was to the car park. A word of caution though – we were in a long wheelbase Mercedes and we grounded on the ramp – could have been nasty if we had got more weight in the car. The car park had direct access to Reception and there were lifts to all floors. So far so good . On entry to the room we noticed immediately that there was a strong smell of damp and that it in no way resembled the photos on ***********. We passed through a miniscule kitchenette with a pedal bin backed by stained wallpaper, and into a bedroom so full of cobwebs that it was like a 1950’s horror film set. Spider webs in the corners, above the bed and at ceiling level everywhere. The main light shade was full of dead insects and one of the chairs was badly stained. Tops of the door frames were grimy and obviously hadn’t been cleaned this century. The main window had no security opening option so was impossible to have open without risking getting our throats cut whilst we slept. Being seasoned world travellers and familiar with second-class foreign accommodation we opted to make the most of it and chalk it down to experience, but our patience reached the limit when my wife had a quick shower and I followed to find that the water was stone-cold. Upon complaining to Reception we were told that ‘the rooms have individual water reservoirs’ and we ‘would have to wait two hours for the water to warm up.’ Unacceptable in 2022, as was the Receptionist’s suggestion that we could change rooms for an additional 100 euros. Faced with having to try to find alternative accommodation in Metz city centre at short notice during the Christmas Market period, we had little choice but to make the most of it. *********** were completely useless – said that they would speak to the hotel management but then came back to us saying that there was nothing that they could do.

Let’s get the good points out of the way first. The reception staff were lovely and very helpful, the location is great for seeing Metz and it has free parking… I booked this hotel for one night without my usual diligence and research, I got what I deserved! After being directed to the local free parking and negotiating the tight entrance ramps I was less than comfortable with the surroundings. It seemed that the car park wasn’t very secure, litter strewn on level -1 and seemingly used as a toilet. This was reinforced by the stairs to ground level which required the holding of breath, it really was that bad. As above, the welcome from staff was great but on exiting the lift to our room on the first floor (106) there was an unpleasant odour. The room was a decent size, a bit sparse, very warm with one portable fan but the real issue was the carpet. Black stains that looked like ground in dirt or gum and other dubious looking stains in several other places. The bathroom was clean but the rail and attachment to hold the flexi shower head was missing from its mountings. The separate toilet was in a small cupboard just inside the door, again it was clean. The entrance lobby had what looked like long-standing cobwebs above head height, I’m guessing that the spiders are permanent guests. The bed was averagely comfortable and the linen clean. The wall paper appeared damp above the skirting boards and was discoloured. It isn’t the cheapest Metz option and really was presented poorly, there isn’t an excuse in a modern city for low standard accommodation like this.
Tout était parfait et au top 👌 Excellent accueil, personnel très sympathique, ménage également Literie parfaite Très bien mangé au restaurant de l’hôtel Nous avons passé un excellent week-end en famille 😃 Nous reviendrons sans hésitation 😛 Encore merci 😋

We booked for a double roome with 2 beds, it is a very small room (yes, I knew this in advance) but since we only stayed for 1 night only. that was fine.
If we have two big suitcases and we need to unfold both, we need to find our own arrangements. Anyhow, in general, the breakfast service was good! The reception desk was very kind and helpful.
The location of the hotel is not far from city center, located in a very quite place for living habitats I think. I give 4.5 / 5 points.
The hotel is located next to the waiting station, minutes 10-15 walking. The room was single, with a large bed. The sunglasse is clean and comfortable. The air conditioner is not available and the net on the windows is also, so it was not very comfortable.
The hotel is a very new and very well managed by a sympathetic team of very devoted young receptionists including Rachid who welcomed us very well. The reception is open 24h/24. The rooms are spacious, clean and well decorated. The only point to improve is the synthetic toilet boxes that are very bad.
This is a lovely old hotel (above the main door in the stonework it says the royal hotel) an easy walk from the train station. Decor is lovely. There are extra sitting rooms downstairs and self serve tea and coffee is provided. Room was spacious for an Ibis, large bathroom, very comfortable beds and quiet. Breakfast was a bit chaotic, I don't think there were enough staff to cope with the number of guests, everything from food to cutlery kept running out. Loved the yoghurt and fruit but everything else was very carb heavy but that is probably my taste rather than French. My only problem was the house keeping lady. We had asked if we could stay an extra 30/60 minutes so we didnt have to hang around the train station and were told no problem the night before, yet at 1210 there was banging on the door and this angry lady was saying get out you leave, she would not listen to me, possibly a language issue but there was no mistaking the angry face. Maybe she should concentrate on the mouldy bathroom, unfilled soap containers and missing towels before she is rude to guests?
Je suis déjà descendu dans cet hôtel et j'en gardais un meilleur souvenir. C'est la chambre qui pose problème (316). Tout d'abord une odeur désagréable comme si la chambre avait été nettoyée avec une serpillère pas propre. Dans la salle de bain, des saletés qui restent par terre. Des bas de murs qui sont en partie bien finis, mais en partie tellement mal finis qu'on ne voit pas comment nettoyer le tout correctement. Le drap du dessous du lit était propre, mais trop petit et donc ne tenait pas bien. A l'inverse, une mention 5* pour le réceptionniste de l'après midi / soir qui a été très aimable, disponible et serviable. Bravo !

JJanSchu7We went to Metz for 2 days and decided for the Mgallery Hotel. It was very well located next to a park in a historic environment. Definitely a very nice place. City center with a many restaurants, cafes and bars was just a 10 minute walk. Also the cathedral was just 15 minutes away. Staff was very friendly and rooms are nice and clean. Breakfast was very good with good choices.
GGuest UserWe were stranded at the Metz Ville railway station today with our booked accommodation failing to email our accommodation address. By accident I stumbled across the Campanile Hotel, 3 minutes from the station. From the moment I walked in the staff were so helpful, kind and empathetic to our situation. They served us tea, allowed access to their Wifi and sitting area so we could try and resolve our situation. We couldn’t so booked a room- clean, comfortable beds, a lovely fresh room and bathroom; more than adequate for our needs. And a very reasonable price. But the staff were superb! Nothing was too much trouble- they tried to source tours and answered a multitude of questions. Special mention must be made of Fativa- an absolute gem! So kind, so caring and so patient. Her dinner recommendation was fabulous! Campanile Hotel saved our day!
GGuest UserPros: The receptionist were very friendly and speaks English. Breakfast buffet is included in the rate and were okay. The location is close to everything, walked everywhere. The room is on a smaller side, no fridge and was on the 4th floor. We were able to fit in an extra bed for my daughter. Parking fee were about 9 euros and no in and out privileges and a few blocks away from the hotel. Cons: The reception area were a bit hard to find. Reception is located on the left side from the main hotel entrance.
GGuest UserArrived early and was greeted by a lovely festive reception and staff who immediately offered to look after my baggage until a room was available. When check in came it was so easy, no problems at all and quickly off to a functional and well-equipped room. This is an old building but that is not a criticism, just context if you are expecting large rooms etc but if you want enough space, every amenity you would want for a couple of days and a cozy sanctuary at the end of the day this is a great location. It is across the street from the train station, easy to get to and easy to get to the center of the town and the attractions - it just felt like staying in a large home - nothing over-the-top but clean, well maintained and everything you would need, including friendly and helpful staff - I enjoyed my stay here.
When I arrived it was pouring with rain, so I missed the hotel first time around, so according to my Garming I had to drive another 1,5 KM to get round to the hotel. Pleasant reception explained how to get to the parking garage with my motorbike. Room was ok, breakfast was a fast breakfast. Not to write home about. One thing did bother me , at the reception they gave me a streetmap of Metz, but the scale was so small I couldn't use it too well, ofcourse I went the long way round to the cathedral.
TTulo123This is one of my favourite hotels as I drive from France to Sweden with my dogs. Lovely staff that always go out for their way to make the stay enjoyable and even let me have room service really late in the evening, when I was tired after a long day of driving, and it normally was finished for the day. They speak good English. But the BEST with this hotel is the beds!! If I could sneak one home with me I would. ;) Super comfortable and lovely fluffy duvets and pillows in spacious rooms with complementary water and coffees and tea. The rooms are spacious. My dogs and I will be back! :)
GGuest UserIt's a very simple self service Hotel in the City Centre. It looks a little bit like a Hospital. When we phoned, the person on the phone didn't speak English. Later the Woman of the reception spoke perfectly English. You can check-in until 8.00 pm. Later is possible, but you have to phone. Then they give you the codes of the door en safe with your key. The Breakfast costs €12,- and thats to expensive for so a simple Breakfast.
Everything was excellent apart from the signage to enter the car park, due to the one-way system you can't see the sign and so pass it and so have to go all around again. This would be an easy fix I'm sure, and didn't distract from a great stay. Driving a plug-in car it was great to see a charging point that was free to use. On entering the hotel the receptionist was welcoming and efficient, our room was high quality and with plenty of electrical outlets and other items that made our stay comfortable. The location is far enough out to be quiet but a short easy walk to the centre and all the sights. The quality of our afternoon meal and the breakfast were both very good as were all of the staff that we encountered. When visiting Metz I will definitely stay here again.
Absolutely stunning hotel modern French design. Location even better. Superb stay with access to pretty much everything you want and desire. Our room was fabulous very good character and the pool very nice. Safe parking for our Motor Car with excellent members of staff to help you throughout. In the morning the breakfast service is again delicious and well supplied. The hotel is very ambient and offers selection and seclusion whilst dining. I really like this. Staff exceptional, very helpful and pleasant. Highly recommended especially for stop overs whilst travelling across a brilliant country.
GGuest UserFriendly staff, nice enough breakfast. Quite an old feeling hotel but fine for what I needed. Perhaps a little overpriced but booked v last minute so can probably be done cheaper Id imagine
