The room we had was very run down and had mould on the ceiling where there had been a leak of some sort. The climate control did not work in our room and with temperatures during our stay hitting 39 degrees, we had an awful night. To top it all, my wife had put our cool bag on the floor and when we woke up it was crawling with ants, it totally freaked my wife out. Unfortunately, none of the staff could speak English so it was pointless trying to complain. The only redeeming thing I could say was that the breakfast was ok. I would never stay here again.

It was fine for the night, a basic hotel with a good breakfast, but the restaurant was fully booked, so may be best to reserve in advance.

Decent low cost hotel near the A10

Check in left a lot to be desired - with the receptionist continuing a personal phone call and ignoring me for over 5 mins. Not what you need at 11pm when you have been driving for 12hrs. Also the property advertises itself as pet friendly- but there is a €10 surcharge per pet. Other than that the room was clean, the bed was good and it’s in a convenient location

Good service from staff, very well situated and great if you have pet and want to keep a close eye on your car. Rooms are a little noisy and in need of some modernization, but was is important is this hotel seems to be one of the few where they do have staff after 11pm so if you are going to arrive late its worth using them because a lot of the other hotels are simply shut up after 11pm which is a killer after a 6 hour drive from the Channel ports!

An adequate overnight stop

This is a run of the mill motel and the exterior is in need of some TLC. The rooms are clean but small with the minimum of services. There is a TV with just French channels, a kettle and one each of coffee and tea sachets. The towels in the bathroom were barely adequate in size and ours appeared to be damp and most inefficient in drying bodies. The restaurant was good but there was no explanation of the dishes in English. I know this sounds parochial but it is unusual these days not to have English sub-titles on menus and at least one or two English speaking channels on the television.

Saintes, worth a stop-over.

We visited Saintes on the way south many years ago and thought it worth a further look. We enjoyed our return look at it but the Campanile is a fair evening stroll into Saintes and unfortunately it was Monday and we couldn't find a restaurant open in the centre. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our visit looking at the architecture, amphi-theatre and the Roman arch as well as the river.

The Campanile is very handy for the big hypermarket across the road and we were able to get cheap petrol, water and picnic necessities there for our journey south.

Our welcome wasn't the best as they didn't have any record of our pre-paid Expedia booking😧 but with persistence it was sorted out and the rest of the visit was good.

Good for stopovers and visiting Saintes

The Campanile Group provides a cheap (for France) reliable stop-over for couples and families, offering small but clean en-suite rooms and comfortable beds plus plenty of free parking. Think upmarket Travelodge. It had a bath/shower and good air conditioning. This location was opposite a nice Boulangerie and just down the road from a hypermarket which had a cafeteria providing a continental breakfast for two for less then €7. Don't bother with the Campanile Restaurant, there are better quality and cheaper options in Saintes.

A careful choice.

The hotel was well located and signposted. The room was scrupulously clean, staff where not bi-lingual were helpful & patient. But the language barrier French - English I feel may be expoited - in the restaurant, an English couple beside us had to query their meal bill which incorrectly charged two drinks which were free on surrender of a coupon. We ordered a €14.90 meal, but were charged for each dish individually, at €7 more, and had to ask for the voucher drinks to be discounted.
On checking out, we were asked to pay for the room again by the English-speaking clerk, even though our Expedia voucher was very clear. Fortunately my French is good and all errors were very politely remedied, but it makes one think...........
