Best Hotels near Zenith, Limoges

We have stayed here several times this year. Blague 1: Having tried various items from the particularily uninspiring plain typed sheet ‘menu’ we are convinced the kitchen cannot cook so we are resigned to just having the burger each time. Blague 2: We both ordered the ‘chicken burger’ (authentic French). My wife’s duly arrived but nothing for me. Five minutes later mine arrived with no apology but cold fries (what is going on in the kitchen). Blague 3: the maitre d’ three months ago was a complete novice who tried to open a bottle of champagne with a corkscrew😁 now he’s in charge he cannot see the customer failure of serving a table at different times. When I said “C’est une blague” he said it wasn’t Blague 4: the €17.50 chicken burger was three chicken nuggets. Blague 5: the offered cheese ‘Tome’ was the oldest crustiest cheese imaginable. Clearly offloading old stock. I do long for the Novotels that we have used and enjoyed for years; this is a joke but I guess you have worked that out.

A clean, well located Ibis in a lovely part of France. Having travelled overnight from the UK, I was extremely tired on arrival and was pleased to discover that check in is open from noon. Like most budget hotels, the room is fairly basic but offers everything you need aside from tea/coffee making facilities (a vending machine is available in the lobby). The bed is reasonably comfy although you only get one pillow each so some guests may struggle to get properly comfy. The mattress is also on the “firm” side. The location is adjacent to the motorway so those rooms at the front may experience some traffic noise (I was at the rear of the building). However, the windows are double glazed so it’s possible this isn’t an issue. Car parking is good and seemingly secure. The staff are helpful and polite. Breakfast is an unlimited continental offering - fresh and tasty with great coffee. For what it costs, Ibis Budget are great!

Booked the hotel as an overnight stop when travelling to the south. An attraction was the fact it had a restaurant which we thought would make life easier after a long journey. However, we arrived (on a late Friday afternoon) to be told the restaurant was not open due to lack of clients! Reception said there were plenty of restaurants in the town and free parking, but an aggravation were were hoping to avoid. No matter, we did find an excellent restaurant (Le M de Marisa) less than a km away. As to the hotel - the rooms were very clean, nice decor, excellent shower and firm but comfy beds, albeit would have been nice to have an English Channel on the TV. Very good breakfast with lots of choice. Would have given a 5 rating but for the restaurant issue! However a convenient place to stop, within easy reach of autoroutes.

This hotel is a few Euros cheaper than the B&B chain next door but its in a different universe. Premier Classe do have some nice hotels (for example Chartres) but this one is the pits. Rooms all smell of smoke, are dark, dirty and low ceilinged. Toilet/shower unit is dark and complete with cigarette holder by the sink. It smells of piss. It's fine for workmen stopping with mates, but definitely one to avoid if with family. Lot of people milling around outside smoking and on phones. We didn't stay more than 30 mins before paying for another room at the next door B&B. Oh, and their WiFi is rubbish too.

Hotel as an intermediate stop on the way to the Pyrenees. It is quickly and easily accessible from the continuous motorway. Booked with 'Christmas offer' but also without this offer excellent price-quality! Quick check-in, friendly reception. Prima location also for visiting the city of Limoges and near the beautiful station ('one of the most beautiful train stations in the world'! ). We had a four-person room, this was very spacious and provided with basic facilities. Parking can (for €6,- per day) in the parking garage below the hotel. This is a little tight, but good to do (max. height about 2.10m) and easy to reach. Direct connection with lift to the floors. Breakfast has enough choice and quality is OK.

The hotel is very clean and very clean and very clean !
