Best Western Plus le Picardy

The reception staff are very helpful and friendly. They offered to book a nearby restaurant for us (Le Huit) and we enjoyed that very much. The breakfast is much better than it used to be with more food options.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - One of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at. We checked in to our city view room and found out there was no hot water or no city view. They never addressed the city view, but said they didn’t know when the hot water would be back on. We asked for a refund and booked into another hotel. They never gave a refund there and then and made some excuse up as to why they could not do it, but promised to do so. The money never arrived. The ‘city view’ room looked out to another building. The room was dated and jaded. The manager hid in the office and let the receptionist do all the apologising. If you want a stress free hotel, then don’t stay here, it’s a joke and a con. I’ve never stayed in a hotel without hot water before. Please read the other reviews too of the bad experiences other guests have had to face!

Shame about the bathroom….. Look the hotel is generally lovely & the receptionist really delightful. The room when we first entered was also great and had a wonderfully warm, homely feel to it. But the bathroom was pretty dire in most respects with confusing taps and a shower system that was cheaply put together and simply didn’t work at all well with a separate and really uninviting loo area. It’s a shame the bathroom lets this hotel down because otherwise it’s excellent and pretty good value for money.

Excellent value hotel. Attractive art deco building with spacious bedroom and attentive service from friendly staff who were keen to engage in conversation with us. Good choice of restaurants close by (relevant on Sunday evening when hotel restaurant was closed). Secure parking.

I simply don’t know where to begin. This place is a disaster with a facade of cool and luxury on the outside and on the inside.. it’s FAWLTY TOWERS. The only reason I am taking the time to write this review is because of the hardworking staff. If not for them, this shambles of a hotel, would not be much. Let’s start with check in.. one, yes, ONE, staff member, running the WHOLE hotel solo, check in, answering phones, running to the bar and the beck and call of all the hotel guests. But wait.. there’s more.. she was also trying to conduct interviews with the three ladies waiting on the foyer - new recruits (no surprises here). We arrive to our, inter-connecting rooms to find the doors closed and a bedside drawer and chair in the way.. we manoeuvre the furniture ourselves so as not to bother said solo staff member downstairs. Upon entering the main room, we notice one of the single sides to the king bed is seriously drooping into the middle. Not to worry, I’m exhausted, it will be fine. Mistake.. I did not sleep well for the entire stay. We call to have ice delivered to the room, we would like to chill our warm wine we’ve bought and the very small fridges do not have room for wine bottles of any kind and are filled with a few bottles of complimentary water and snacks to purchase. We wait… whilst waiting … we discover, only paper cups in the entire room. So I head downstairs so as not to have to call solo worker, rather, O’Brien glasses for wine, ice bucket and tea cups for morning / paper cups and wooden stirrers only provided! Oh, and, no milk! After a horrendous sleep in the sloping bed and extremely loud AC.. we head out for the day, tidying our room for the cleaner, placing towels on the floor and pulling back the quilts of the bed to display said slope in case anyone wants to take time to fix it. We are out for 8 hours. Upon our return, our rooms have not been make up except for bins emptied. I am bemused… why? “Because I did not place the card on the bed to chafe the sheets”. Okay.. but I have never, in my, hundreds of hotel room stays, ever seen such an excuse for not at least making the bed. When questioned, the excuse given was I had items on the bed.. this was not the case. I had our personal pillows and that is all. Frustrated, we need wine! Ha, but alas, the ice machine is broken and there is no ice madam. We drink warm wine, fall into sloping bed and listen to the AC drumming all night. We wake with little sleep. I need to iron my clothes, mademoiselle brings me the iron, but no board. “We do not have a board” ..???!! What?! How am I supposed to iron? “On the table madam, this is the French way” ….. we head out for the day with a promise and guarantee our room will be serviced. We are gone for 5 hours 1-6pm. We return again to an unmade room. The cleaners, two young women who look to be contracted, have been too busy. We are told they can come now.. desperate for a good night’s sleep, I guide them to the room and ask them to simp
