Alincthun Vacations from $2,279

A perfect stop to break-up our journey back to the UK. Parking is free and easy and the hotel is dog friendly. Staff entertained my poor French but speak fluent English. Restaurant is good and breakfast worth paying extra for - good choice, not just continental fare. We stayed during very hot August period, but rooms air conditioned and it works well. No complaints.

The room was beautifully appointed, with the bathroom and changing area well separated from the sleeping area. The balcony gave a nice view of nearby architecture. The location of the hotel was in walking distance to the main Republic plaza, dining, and the Palais des Beaux Arts. The Citadel park, also in walking distance, served as a viewing point of the solar eclipse. Eurostar train service to London and other locations in mainland Europe was a short 20 min walk away. The buffet breakfast was excellent and I especially appreciated the water spiggets on each floor to fill up your water bottle with either plain filtered or carbonated water. The front desk was mostly helpful, although one woman could have used additional customer support training in cheerfully answering questions. The room was cooled to a comfortable temperature, a welcome respite from the outside heat wave. All in all a wonderful experience. I would return.

Excellent location. Large room overlooking the square. Comfortable bed. Nice dining area where breakfast is served - plentiful and a good variety. Bar area is amazing and overlooks the city - great music and ambience
