Hotel De la Place

We stayed at Hôtel de la Place after a long six-hour drive through central France to Normandy. We booked through Hotels.com and upgraded our room, but sadly it didn’t meet our expectations. The room felt very tired and worn out. There was nowhere comfortable to sit together, and several items were either damaged, broken, or in urgent need of repair. It definitely needs refurbishment. That said, the staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the front of the hotel is quite attractive. It’s a real shame the rooms don’t match the appearance of the exterior. ⸻ 🇫🇷 Avis en français – Hôtel de la Place, Aunay-sur-Odon Nous avons séjourné à l’Hôtel de la Place après un long trajet de six heures à travers le centre de la France jusqu’en Normandie. Nous avons réservé via Hotels.com et avons pris une chambre supérieure, mais malheureusement, cela n’a pas répondu à nos attentes. La chambre était très fatiguée et vieillotte. Il n’y avait aucun endroit confortable pour s’asseoir ensemble, et plusieurs éléments étaient abîmés, cassés ou avaient vraiment besoin d’être réparés. Une rénovation est clairement nécessaire. Cela dit, le personnel était très sympathique et accueillant, et la façade de l’hôtel est jolie. Dommage que les chambres ne soient pas à la hauteur de l’extérieur.

Very nice older hotel. Phenomenal staff, many dining options nearby.

Lovely friendly hotel. Room was very comfortable. Dinner was amazing, well prepared, presented and cooked.

A nice clean hotel with friendly staff. Located in a quiet village. The bathroom facilities in the room I was in (No3), was a little bijou and compact, though it did the job. Good wifi connection. Limited on site free parking in a very tight courtyard.

The staff were welcoming and spoke very good English, tmy room was clean, tidy and modern. After the bar had closed it was very quiet at night so you could happily sleep with the window open. I only stayed for 1 night for business and got there late so wasn't able to eat dinner there. Although I must say every hotel I stayed in on my trip whether it was 3 star or higher the quality of food was fantastic, tres bien France!

Nice little hotel - rooms are compact but if you’re just using it as a base to travel around then they are perfect. No kettle or tea and coffee facilities in the room - but decent restaurant downstairs - lovely lunch menu - we didn’t try the breakfast as we were out and about both mornings we were there and there was a fantastic boulangerie just down the road - so go loads of breakfast stuff there instead. Market on a Saturday - highly recommend the cheese man situated up to the right of the crossroads! And the fruit stall right outside the hotel. Sum up the room - small but functional and lovely - well looked after - great few days away.

Nice Country Town lovely hotel very welcoming community. Expedia needs to provide email contact for hotels. We needed to clarify some details about our stay with Hotel but did not have enough French to do this by telephone. A direct email address for the Hotel would have enabled us to use an English French translation programme and communicate with hotel.

The receptionist was very friendly. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Only stayed for one night and everything was almost perfect... except for the fact that at 9am, as I was getting out of the shower, the maid opened the door WITHOUT knocking. I still had 2 hours left before check out so I'm not sure why she wouldnt even knock before opening the door. I did not care for that at all. Aside from that incident, it was a good place to stay

The hotel seemed reasonably priced and well located to break our journey from Calais to Brittany. We'd therefore booked a family room - with a double, 2 single beds and a cot - some months before our stay. When we arrived at the hotel (at around 7:30pm), we were told that we were being "upgraded" to two separate rooms as the family room wasn't available. Despite being skeptical, we went up to the rooms, assuming there would be a link-door between the two rooms. There wasn't! They'd given us one double and one twin room - totally unsuitable for a family with 3 young children! We couldn't really leave 3 children under 7 in a room on their own and it seemed the only option would be for my wife and I to sleep in separate rooms. (I would also mention that the rooms were incredibly sparse, which reminded me of an youth hostel!) We complained at reception but they said that there were no alternative rooms as they'd given our family room to someone else. No apology. Eventually we managed to get them to give us a triple room into which they managed to squeeze another single bed. In truth, this was probably a fire hazard as there was hardly any floor space left and the bedroom door wouldn't open fully past the additional bed! But given that it was by now getting late, we didn't have any option but to accept this solution. On the positive side, they charged us for a double room rather than a family room. The 3 bedrooms we saw were also clean enough.

Lovely little hotel in a picturesque village, friendly staff and good food. We loved it!

Vacation ruined by bed bugs in the room.

Friendly staff, easy too find location. Had a meal in the restaurant and it was excellent.

Nice place to stay and relax and visit areas nearby.

Very helpful people!!! free wifi but not strong signal on 2nd floor and no lobby to access.

made a great stop over on way to Brittany. lovely set menu, comfy beds and room - whay more could you ask!

There was no hot water for the morning showers, we reported this and were told it would be available in about 10 minutes. The room was otherwise adequate. Breakfast (petite dejeuner) was inadequate - they ran out of juice and some of the food items. The cleaning staff was in full swing well before we left at a reasonably early hour. I would not bother going back there even if I were in the neighborhood.

Our en-suite shower/wc/handwash basin room that we had, possibly others were similar, was small. There was only just enough room for a double bed and the access to it. This sizing might provide a problem to less mobile persons However, it was all very clean and looked in well maintained condition. Parking was fine in the back courtyard. Free Internet access was fine. Bar service was fine and the restaurant menu/cost/ was very good. Very good location for visiting Swiss Normandy and the Bocage. To summarise, Restaurant and Bar VERY good, Hotel accomodation reasonable value.

We were running very late and emailed the staff to let them know. They were very helpful and sent us a side door access code and room number just in case no staff were on duty. Really helpful. Room was fine and breakfast - typically French - was help yourself and just OK. Would recommend it just for the staff.

Todo muy bien.
