Rivière Hotels

"Very basic but did the job"

"The hotel is acceptable, very similar to an Ibis, a standard roadside accommodation. I booked a QDL room, and there was no information provided regarding bed arrangements or any distinction for a fourth guest (such as a sofa bed). Upon entering the room, I found a foldable bed of very poor comfort set up for the fourth guest, blocking the entire access to the bathroom. More concerning than this, when I got into the main bed, I found a child’s pajama left between the sheet and the duvet, which made the experience extremely unpleasant."

"In the old city section of Arras. A short walk from Place des Heros town square. Private parking area is tight but workable. You will be directed to your specific parking place by the front desk staff. You might need another set of eyes to help you get out of your spot, but it works. We ate at restaurants on the town square. The spring weather was warm and sunny, and the square was packed and buzzing with happy voices. Very cool spot to have visited. Extensively restored following WW1. "

"All good !!"

"Room very clean. Bathrooms will need to be updated ie walking showers instead of baths? Breakfast very fresh with plenty of choice = viennoiseries, breads, fresh apple and multi fruits juices, cold meats, cheeses, yogurts, etc.. Various brands and flavours of teas. Coffee machine offering espresso, capuccino, hot chocolate etc.. A welcoming bar offering various drinks = beers, wines, spirits with snacks ie peanuts, crisps, chocolate bars. Big car park - free and secure - gate closed at night. Great location. Plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, walking distance (2mns). Only 1 hour's drive from Calais, 2h30 / 3h to Paris. And the best = FANTASTIC STAFF. Very friendly, organised and always happy to help. Always stay there when we drive from Yorkshire to the centre of France (Nievre - Bourgogne Franche Comte). Highly recommended "

"Great staff at front desk, offered assistance explaining parking areas and regulations for its use. Breakfast offered good variety and was well done. "

"There is a local restaurant callled ‘Crocodile’ two minutes away by foot which allows 10% discount from meals and unlimited beer wine and soft drinks."

"Great place to stop. Rooms well equipped , car parking nearby and welcoming staff . We will be back "

"Simple hotel on the outskirts of Lens."
