Verrieres-en-Forez Holidays

Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

The hotel itself was great - large, spacious rooms, including a full soaking tub and huge shower, very clean and comfortable room. We had a small balcony to enjoy the views. Staff was very nice and helpful. Only a 5 minute walk to the Bastille where we enjoyed riding the cable cars up the mountain for an amazing view. However, the immediate area outside the hotel and throughout the city, we did not feel safe - even in the daytime. Do you research on crime and the sections to avoid. We made the mistake of walking from the train station to the hotel, but took an uber on the way back because we did not want to venture out, It's a shame because this city has so much potential. Even in the local coffee shop, there are signs on the table inside to be aware of pickpockets.

The rooms were acceptable but, for a little more effort, our stay could have been so much better. These are not serviced apartments! There is no soap, no washing-up liquid, no cloths, no pads, no tea-towels and only one toilet roll supplied. If you want any of these items you have to go out and buy them. I have rented apartments in several other places and have never had this experience. An extra charge of €70 was made to clean the apartment after our stay. We had no option but to pay it, because there were no materials supplied. This was not shown anywhere in the booking conditions. If you are going to do this, it should be built into the price.

I would advice any visitor who have back issues to stay away from this property since the beds are pretty precarious. Our bed was very soft and bounce and the mattress springs could be felt in your body and face when laying down. Everuthing else is as spected. Great location for ski in-out.

Great location for bicycle touring and other activities in the area
