B&B Hotel Yvetot

This was our second stay at this particular B&B Hotel and it was disappointing this time. We were in room 001 on the ground floor and there was a sign on the window handle saying that the window was locked. It had been a very warm day and we needed some fresh air, but couldn’t open the window and reception had already closed, so there was nobody to ask. We tried the air-conditioning, but that didn’t help. The room was so stuffy that we had to leave the room door ajar to get some fresh air into the room from the corridor. On the positive side, the hotel is in a quiet location with no traffic noise.

We stopped here for one night on our way back to the UK from the Algarve with our two dogs. Dogs are very welcome at all B&B Hotels, so you can easily plan your overnight stops without worrying about whether your dogs will be allowed in the hotel. Having stayed at quite a few B&B Hotels over the last couple of years, it was easy to compare this hotel to the others we have stayed in. For us, we found the location to be excellent; it was very quiet and easy to find. There is plenty of parking and a lovely grassy area outside for walking dogs. Our overnight stop was on a Sunday and all the nearby shops were closed. This hotel was a lot more expensive than all the other B&B Hotels we booked on this trip, so we were expecting something a bit special, and because of this, we were slightly disappointed. The breakfast option is also more expensive than other B&B Hotels at 10.50 euros instead of the usual 8.50 euros. The hotel is one of the older B&B Hotels, so the room was very small. The shower had a shower curtain rather than a glass screen as in the newer B&B Hotels, and overall the bathroom was a bit grubby. Despite this, we would definitely stay here again, because of the quiet location. As with most (not all) other B&B Hotels, there is a microwave oven in reception for guests to use, which is very helpful. The staff at this hotel are very helpful.
