Hotels near Pourhon

Helpful and friendly staff and very comfortable,clean room

There are two hotels opposite each other (approx 20 metres apart) - IBIS and IBIS budget. I booked the IBIS budget (although I had not realised there was a choice to book the other one - and I have no idea what the differences are). Check in was easy, computerised with an English language option. There was a receptionist (I did not see her until after I had checked in with the computer) who advised me that breakfast was only available from the other hotel because I had not booked in advance. Hardly a great hardship to walk across the road. The room was clean, warm and quiet. Good value for money. Signposting from the main road was excellent too.

Good location close to the old town and the huge railway station. Breakfast was good with plenty of selection, only timed boiled eggs as the only food hot option, but not really an issue. Good easy and secure parking for car or motorbike . Friendly staff.

Everything! It was perfection. Our room was pristine clean, everything that could shine, did shine. Mirrors, taps, shower etc., all gleaming. The cleaning staff are evidently extremely thorough and pay very good attention to detail. Not one speck of dust, smear, smudge, water mark or rogue hair to be seen anywhere. The room really could not have been any cleaner. We had a super comfy, queen size bed with top quality linen and amazing pillows (which were very welcome after the singular, tiny lump of foam on the Armorique!) If TV is important to you, the TV in our room was a whopping 50" LG flat screen with French and English channels. There were complimentary bathrobes, slippers shower gel and bottled water. And we were very pleased to find tea and coffee, as this was unexpected. We had a lovely, spacious room on the third floor (there is a lift) with full wall-width windows that completely opened out to a glorious sunset and the sound of the nearby church bells. So often, with small, independent hotels, they can look a bit tired, with signs of wear and tear in the decor, carpets, fixtures and fittings, but not here; everything was in 'good as new' condition. The location is excellent - right in the centre of Loudeac, but still very quiet. The young reception staff were superb! An absolute asset to the hotel. They were all really friendly and helpful and very tolerant of our shocking French. Also, very accommodating of our late evening requests for a bottle of wine (a very drinkable Chardonnay at a bargain 20€) and then later, an ice bucket. The bar was really attractive, welcoming and comfortable. We enjoyed a drink in its lovely surroundings before heading out to dinner. We didn't have breakfast, but the breakfast room looked very well set out and I can't imagine it falling short of the excellence elsewhere. We will definitely try it on our next visit.
