We made the mistake of arriving on a Sunday, thinking that as it had a bar and restaurant that they would be open. They weren't. I can only think that the three star rating for this place is due to the fact that they have such facilities. Pity they're closed at weekends. We had to drive a few miles to go to dinner on the town. We had to ring a phone number to be let in on arrival, which is not very welcoming. The hotel is in the middle of a tatty industrial park, and we did worry about parking our car there, but it was intact in the morning. We had a kettle in the room, but no cups or tea or coffee. The Receptionist provided cardboard cups etc upon request. The room was OK, basic, but we didn't pay a fortune to stay here. It was clean. Breakfast was a shambles. The Receptionist and a colleague were setting tables, but it turned out that they were setting them for dinner. As we went to sit down, staff removed placemats etc. Simple verbal communication would have been useful, there was no attempt to speak to us in French or English to explain what was happening. We managed to get the last couple of croissants and pieces of bread before they ran out at 8.30. Otherwise we would have had to manage with fruit, yogurts and ham. We did hear some people quite rightly grumbling about it. Upon departure, no-one asked us whether we'd had a pleasant stay, or even wished us ”bon voyage”. A man merely took our key from us with a ”merci”. Bottom line is, that I wouldn't stay here again. There is plenty of choice closer to Evreux.

We arrived late at 22:00 and it's a pleasure to have a receptionist rather than a screen. The young woman was also very welcome and helpful. The rooms are clean and quite comfortable for a direct kyriad, pleasantly surprised. The breakfast is right and the breakfast is always so warm. Satisfied

We needed accommodation for 2 nights at Evreux and chose Premiere Classe as the description made it sound like the UK's Premier Inns or Travelodges AND the price included breakfast. At around 50 euro per night it wasn't cheap but so-so. The room we were given on the first night was just awful. The heater was falling off the wall - as was the paint! The floor lino was grotty and worn. The shower didn't fit (was coming away from the wall) and leaked over the floor. The door lock was damaged and didn't even look secure. The room fittings were damaged and certainly unhygenic. Our first night stay was dreadful. On top of the c**p room, there was a group of other visitors who had no respect for other residents - staying up until nearly 3am making a lot of noise outside - including allowing their sprogs to run around yelling and bawling. There were no hotel staff around to tell them to be quiet. After complaining, staff did move us to another room for the second night. Although the decor etc, was only slighty better, the room was at least quiet so we slept okay. I have complained about this accommodation and have been promised a refund for the first nights stay but TBH, this ”hotel” (really?) should be shut for refurbishment or rebuild (the concrete stairway looks to be suffering from water ingress and rod corrosion). I honestly would not recommend this as a place to stay - and on the basis of this hotel, we will be avoiding ALL Louvre Hotel Group accommodation for the foreseeable future. Just a final point though. The bedding was clean and the breakfast (self-service basic continental-style) was fine. The two staff members we saw (one in the evening and the other mornings) were friendly and helpful.

Rating: ⭐⭐ Let's start with the positives. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by the staff. Their friendliness and attentiveness were commendable, and they made me feel valued as a guest. Additionally, I was pleased with the cleanliness of the rooms. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job in ensuring the rooms were tidy and well-maintained, which is certainly a plus for a budget hotel. The location is pretty central, although the hotel is slightly awkward to get to (given the town’s one way systems!) but within a few metres of a pleasant square with bars and decent restaurants. One major issue was the paper-thin walls. Unfortunately, this led to an unfortunate situation where I could hear conversations from the neighboring room. It was not only an invasion of privacy but also disrupted my ability to relax and get a good night's sleep. I believe soundproofing should be a priority for any hotel, regardless of its budget status. To make matters worse, the noise issue reached its peak when an amorous couple in the adjacent room started shagging at 3am. While I understand that the Greet Hotel is a budget establishment, the thin walls and lack of sound insulation made for an unpleasant experience. I strongly urge the management to address this issue promptly and take measures to improve the soundproofing of the rooms. Guests should be able to enjoy a peaceful and undisturbed stay, regardless of the hotel's price range. In conclusion, the welcoming staff and clean rooms at the Greet Hotel in Evreux were commendable. However, the lack of soundproofing compromised the overall quality of my stay.

The hotel is perfect, it is just a breakfast formula.
