inspiration by balladins Villefranche-de-Rouergue

Well organised under the current circumstances. Very polite

We arrived late after various troubles on our cycling trip. The lady who came couldn’t have been more helpful.

exceed my expectation for a hotel at a small city. location is convenient, easy parking on site. property is well maintained. Overall a comfortable and safe stay.

good location, big supermarket and eating place next door. room good, breakfast ok.

It is on the edge of the town so you have to drive to get a meal - a lovely town though!

We had rented a Gite in a neighboring town, but when we arrived, it was a pretty nasty place, so we ended up booking this place, Hotel Ballidins, at the last minute out of necessity. We had a family of 4 plus a toddler and we booked the family room, which had an upstairs and downstairs, but the room is extremely close quarters. There is not much room to move around. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful with getting a mini-refrigerator moved into our room and with suggestions on places to visit. The breakfast was also nice, but I have to be honest here, the room is just not that nice. The room feels dingy and outdated, like the designer was depressed. It smelled like dirty feet when we walked in and you would often get that whiff again near the bed. The room is dark and the colors in the room dont help it any, as it was purple. The bathroom is cramped to the point that when you use the toilet, your knees are against the wall and your face is about 4 inches from the wall. The A/C barely worked, but not enough to make it comfortable. It was hot while we were there and the A/C cooled off the room some, but not enough. Tried opening the window at night, but no screens. There was noticeable wear and tear in the hallways/elevator too. One positive is that there is a supermarche right next door!

Room reeked of smoke,air conditioning did not work . Would not recommend .

I just needed overnight accommodation when touring in the region.

Excellent all around

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay,the room and ensuite were clean and comfy and the hotel staff friendly and helpful and would happily recommend the hotel to friends and family

Hotel was fine. Clean and staff friendly. Only down side was no tea or coffee making facilities in room or anywhere in hotel outside of breakfast.

I had never stayed in a Balladins before always thinking them to be too cheap but I was pleasantly surprised. The checkin staff were very helpful and obliging. The room comfortable and quiet. The only downside was no restaurant so we walked over to the nearby supermarket and ate in one of the on site eateries. Certainly changed my mind about this hotel chain. It was easy to find and had on site parking.
