Avesnes-le-Sec Vacations from $848

The hotel was generally clean and mostly well kept. Staff were great and nothing was too much trouble. The pool was freezing cold, we couldn't get in it, even in July/August heat.

Lovely roof top bar, comfy bed. Shame there were no English tv channels

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.

No ac during end april so had to leave window open and noise level was high all night until 5:00 am. Rooms were also worn.
