A nice hotel with very nice staff

People at the desk could not have been more helpful. Very kind, very polite. The hotel rooms are a bit dated but could not beat the price. For our purpose, it was very well located albeit not right downtown.

A room where you dread dropping something.

We had rented a Gite in a neighboring town, but when we arrived, it was a pretty nasty place, so we ended up booking this place, Hotel Ballidins, at the last minute out of necessity. We had a family of 4 plus a toddler and we booked the family room, which had an upstairs and downstairs, but the room is extremely close quarters. There is not much room to move around. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful with getting a mini-refrigerator moved into our room and with suggestions on places to visit. The breakfast was also nice, but I have to be honest here, the room is just not that nice. The room feels dingy and outdated, like the designer was depressed. It smelled like dirty feet when we walked in and you would often get that whiff again near the bed. The room is dark and the colors in the room don't help it any, as it was purple. The bathroom is cramped to the point that when you use the toilet, your knees are against the wall and your face is about 4 inches from the wall. The A/C barely worked, but not enough to make it comfortable. It was hot while we were there and the A/C cooled off the room some, but not enough. Tried opening the window at night, but no screens. There was noticeable wear and tear in the hallways/elevator too. One positive is that there is a supermarche right next door!

Unexpectedly good

I had never stayed in a Balladins before always thinking them to be too cheap but I was pleasantly surprised. The checkin staff were very helpful and obliging. The room comfortable and quiet. The only downside was no restaurant so we walked over to the nearby supermarket and ate in one of the on site eateries. Certainly changed my mind about this hotel chain. It was easy to find and had on site parking.

Je ne recommande pas

Hotel sur le parking du supermarché Carrefour (pas très glamour), la clim ne fonctionne pas, on nous change de chambre le lendemain dans une chambre similaire mais surprise, la clim de fonctionne pas non plus (finalement un sejour complet sans clim alors que cest un de nos critere privilégié). La douche deborde littéralement car le siphon et remplie de cheveux (encore moins glamour), obligée de nettoyer moi même. La piscine et le jaccuzzi ne sont accessiblent qu'à partir de midi (prevoyez de faire autre chose le matin) et jaccuzzi est interdit au moins de 18 ans (prevoyez autre chose pour vos enfants tout simplement). Le buffet du petit déjeuner, bof bof ! Nous devons nous faire nous même notre jus d'orange pressée, les viennoiseries existent contrairement aux oeufs par exemple. Et notre fils de 3 ans a dû payer 5€ par petit dej pour avoir mangé 1 yaourt et 1 tartine de beurre !! Sinon la literie est bonne mais pour le prix, heureusement qu'il y a au moins ça ! Vraiment très déçue. Nous attendons toujours une excuse ou un geste commercial pour tous ces désagréments
