Curious hotel! Very retro. Corridor carpets tired and need replacing but rooms have good aircon and ceiling fans. It’s a tired old 1960’s hotel but very comfortable beds lovely large parking below. It’s not a romantic hotel or somewhere for someone on business. But it’s excellent value for a good stopover off the autoroute. I would stay again. Lovely town and canal perfect for those with a dog and a car. Lovely pizzeria next door. Thank you Arche, it made us smile!

great quirky hotel
arrived very late but key was organised to collect. Hotel is very quirky, like an old film museum. Room was comfortable and well equipped. Breakfast was ample and very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice Quirky Hotel
This is a lovely hotel it’s not modern but clean and looked after with a 50 60 70’s feel just great the staff were so pleasant and helpful as well.Free underground secure parking you need the key wireless tag to open the door. The only thing missing was tea/coffee making facility the room was nice the bed very comfortable and toilet and shower were nice and clean . We didn’t get a canal view but it is a lovely walk.

Room with a view!
On arrival. the staff member on duty was very friendly and extremely helpful. Our room had a wonderful view along the canal with the bridge across it glowing in the sunset light. The décor is as you would expect from the photos on the website - use the stairs instead of the lift to see the huge collection of film posters and magazine covers. The free secure underground parking is a bonus. The only area which could be improved is the breakfast. It's not bad, but would be improved with better bread and proper jam, rather than those little plastic pots.

Layover to Loire
Decor themed to 1950s stars and rock and roll. Triple a little tight for 3. Convenient underground parking. Has a lift though shutdown at 10:30 causing slight inconvenience for aging father. Conveniently located to pedestrian street with dining choices.

hotel arche
We used this as an overnight stay on the way to the south. Quiet and everything is clean. There is a restaurant which has a limited menu but is very good. Underground secure car park. It is right in the centre of Vierzon so restaurants and shops are close by. The town and area look to be interesting but we only had time for a walk down the canal. We have used it twice now as an overnight stop and find it to be convenient and good value.

Exceeded our expectations. This hotel was excellent value for money. Room was clean light and airy with lovely view over the river. The hotel was quirky with excellent American theme throughout. Best car parking we have had on our travels through France as it was in a secure underground car park with plenty of space for manoeuvre at no extra cost. 150 metres from La Scala excellent Italian restaurant overlooking river. Staff were very friendly and we were given a lovely pen with a torch on the end as a leaving gift. Would definitely recommend for stopover. Love love loved it!

Value for money hotel for a family room stop over
family room was an ok size, with big bathroom. Good for families with 3 kids. Hotel is quite basic but offers good value for money. Some interesting and quirky Hollywood inspired decor makes it different from other places.

Quirky but absolutely fine.
Quirky hotel but perfectly fine for a night or two. The staff were very welcoming. The room was small, particularly as our daughter slept on a 'z' bed next to our double, but it was clean and comfortable and had both air con and a ceiling fan. Lovely view of the canal too. Shower was great. Free Secure parking and a convenient location. Can't comment on the restaurant but the coffee from the machine in reception was fine and just 50 cents per cup.

Adequate hotel for business in Vierzon
This property was convenient to the client location. The hotel was clean and the staff is very friendly. The bathroom is quite small, but everything was functional. Although the blinds can be completely closed to block out the light, they were still not able to block out all of the light in a neighbourhood with significant night lighting. Hotel owners need to understand that a completely dark room gives the best rest. Overall it was a pleasant stay, the area is quiet, with limited traffic noise, indoor parking garage is free of charge, wifi is free and it has an adequate breakfast offering. I would return to this hotel.

Fascinating decor
Arche would be a pretty standard place to stop in an undistinguished town were it not for the stylish theming around old movies - reproduction posters in all corridors etc. Friendly staff, good breakfast and adequate rooms make this excellent value for money. We always stop here when we go south through France.

Overnight stop
We stayed here as an overnight stop on our journey. From the UK to the Dordoyne. The location was good, fairly central in the town. There is a secure underground car park (free). The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spotless and the shower excellent.

Very convenient to stop over en route to Spain.
We arrived just as the Hotel was closing. Tried phoning but could not connect. Arrived late so was not able to enjoy the area or have a meal. We were up early the next morning so no chance for breakfast as we had a long drive that day. We will definitely return. Lovely location.

It was ok
Some of the most peculiar wall decorations, maybe they are hoping to shoot a horror film? I found someone else's hair in the bed, so there's that. Good hot shower, nice front desk staff, free secure parking. It's ok if you want to use it as a pit stop for a night.

Good location
I booked a family room for myself, my wife and our daughter, the room was clean but was only a double room with a single bed squashed in alongside the double bed, leaving no room to move around the room without climbing over the beds. When we arrived at 5.30pm we were told the bar and restaurant were open until 2am. After showering and changing we went for a walk around the town, on return to the hotel to eat at 10.30pm, the bar and restaurant were closed.

Warm welcome
The hotel management were first class and very accomodating. They stored my bikes in their living quarters, arranged alternative parking (my roof box was the problem) when I couldn't use the underground car park. We both felt that the staff would put themselves out to ensure we had a successful stay, even booking a table for us at the local pizzeria. The location was ideal, centrally placed close to a supermarket, park, canal side walks and restaurants and bars. We will definitely return next year en route for home

Good stopping off hotel when driving to the south
Hotel car park is tricky to find, but is very secure. The staff were very friendly and accommodation was clean and tidy. and well priced. We booked this hotel because it is dog friendly and there are some lovely riverside walks right from the side of the hotel. Nice little town with some nice restaurants. Good place for an overnight stay driving through France/onto Spain and we will definitely use again.

Initially had to book two rooms but on arrival staff moved us into a family suite which was very comfortable and had a kitchen. Hotel is next door to a supermarket so was able to make our own meal on the evening which was great as we had driven for several hours before hand.
