Campanile NATURE - Villennes sur Seine Poissy

Great for business trip

I arrived early for a one night en-route stop-over, so my room wasn't ready. However, although they couldn't speak English, the reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. When the room was ready, I was escorted to it and an initial problem with the electronic key was quickly solved. I ate dinner in the restaurant - the buffet des entrees was rather limited (I've had much better in other Campaniles) but the main course was well cooked and very tasty. However, I wish the staff would not try to force diners to use the same cutlery for the main course as well as for the starter - I just won't have it! There was a further disappointment when I ordered coffee and a cognac. The waiter brought the coffee but then announced there was no cognac (despite it being shown on the menu) - rather like bringing frites then saying there were no moules! I refused the coffee and made coffee in my room. The room itself was clean and comfortable, but I was unable to use the shower as the knob, which has to be pulled to divert the water to the shower-head, was lying in the bottom of the bath. A pity that a pleasant hotel, convenient for the A13, and having very nice nice staff, is spoiled by lack of good maintenance. I will probably use it again just for its convenient location, unless I can find an alternative in the same area.

Lovely clean room, great continental breakfast, helpful staff, an ideal business stay. Dined at the restaurant one evening and it was lovely, a good pint too!

The room carpet was horrid - significantly stained, disgusting smell, large hole in the bathroom ceiling, broken table top. Checkin was a very unpleasant experience. Rude and discourteous reception staff.

Very welcoming reception desk staff - good lunch - comfortable rooms I would definitely recommend for a night stay

Nice to have the car parked right outside the door. Pleasant restaurant - the food (evening meal) was good. The walk down to the station to take the train to Paris is about 15 minutes- trains are regular (approx 30 min journey) - its a very beautiful village....but warning: the walk back to the hotel is a steep uphill walk!!!

Stayed here for 5 nights over Christmas. Had stayed before but hotel has new management and was not as good. Tea /coffee making facilities had been withdrawn, the staff in the bar were too busy chatting to serve and the housekeeping was not up to standard.

It was a nice surprise. Close to Paris, easy access and away from the crowds.

I think this hotel is good value for money. You get what you pay for.

Excellent hotel much improved by New Generation refit. Good restaurant with intresting menus, especially the extensive buffet.

The entry doors to most rooms were so tight fitting that they had to be banged shut from both sides which was a disturbance to other guests especially late at night and early morning. The temperature control in the room was ineffective when cooling was required. Any recommendation to others would have to have this caveat

The hotel room is small and clean, excellent value for money.
