Hôtel le Memphis

The hotel provides a rich breakfast, clean rooms, and a convenient location near the train station and city center. Guests appreciate the friendly service and comfortable, quiet rooms, making it a great value choice.

This is an independent hotel across from the train/ bus station in central Poitiers (so don’t expect 24hr manned reception and other luxuries ) but what you get is a warm welcome and lots of character. Whilst arriving outside reception hours after calling the owner I was checked in and given key to my room which was comfortable and despite being road-side, was quiet, with shutters and double glazing doing their job (but don’t expect silence) The room was well appointed and clean, separate toilet and shower room. Water pressure was adequate and in-line of a building of this age. I took breakfast in the morning which was a continental selection of cereal, pastries and bread. It is nice to avoid chain hotels occasionally and support smaller establishments. .

The location of the hotel is easy to reach. Along a mainstreet. And easy acces to the highway and centre ville. The interior is "outdated but very clean". In front of a huge parking which can be entered across the street. Which is ideal. There is a nice garden at the back under a tree which gives a nice shade. By using the escalator or stairs in the parking across you can go up and easily enter the centre of the village. We certainly will use this location next time again when we travel trough France to the south.
