We’re just back from a pleasant weekend in Limoges. There are no trains or busses from the Airport so you need to get a taxi or car hire. We found Limoges straight from the airport but found the hotel very hard to find.

Limoges overall we were very surprised at, we were not expecting it to be such a large town. Bars and café’s on every corner and choice that would suit everyone. The overall service we found to be disappointing, even though we did have some basic French, we still were left to wait much longer then the locals to be served in some places, but then other’s we found most pleasant.

The hotel is in a great location (when you find it) overlooking the square, try get a room in the front of the hotel with a balcony, (unfortunately we did not). Our room was basic but clean, they seam to be in the middle of painting/refurbishing the hotel alto we did not actually see any workmen, we could smell fresh paint.

The staff in the Hotel were very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was sufficient I guess, we were not brave enough to attempt the cooked sausages! But plenty of fresh bread, cheese, meat and fruit available.

Overall we were happy with the hotel, a standard 3*, the staff were nice and im sure the refurb when finished will add a lot to the rooms, they are in need of some freshening up.

One point to note tho, when we were there we parked our car in the underneath car park which we accessed from the street. This closes on Sunday which we did not know and panicked when we needed to get to the airport!!! However unknown to us there is a link from the Hotel and you can get out, just make sure you have your ticket!!

We arrived late in the day, it was raining. Bit concerned about the youths roaming around the streets, but it was sunday night and they were generally well behaved.
The hotel itself was very clean, except, oddly for the mini0bar which frankly stunk to high heaven. the staff were friend and spoke good English. The room I had was equipped with a phone socket for modem use and the triple room had a seperate area for our daughter. It was almost like 2 rooms together. Comfortable night and we nearly overslept due to the excellent double glazing and electric roller shutters. Bathroom could have been better. What do the French have against shower curtains? Seperate toilet.
Breakfast, very good spread for a continental. Boil your own egg machine etc. Still I miss egg and bacon. Which was actually available, but a little look under the lid put paid to that idea. Streaky.... yeeuch.
Still I would stay again if I had the misfortune to be in Limoges.
