It's a good value for money. The owner is kind and really helpful (she gave me a map of Poitiers the first day, indications and called a taxi for me the day I was leaving). I liked the free access (high speed) on internet, since I needed it for working. It's a 2-minute walk from the train station and 15-minute walk from/to the city center. However, if you don't like walking there is the main bus stop of the city in front of the hotel, so it is easy to reach the city center by bus.
It is evident why that this hotel is only a 2 stars, the furniture is out of date. However, I don't personally think it is a problem. I chose this hotel for its position and its price, so I can bear this lack of elegance.
The negative points: the room is soundproof for the noise coming from outside (street) but not inside, so you can hear people chatting and walking. It has a scruffy outside appearance, but the breakfast room and my room were nicely decorated so I'm happy about the choice.
