Harvey Chartres - Résidence Sport & Lifestyle

Modern apartments Nice staff Good breakfast Secure parking was a bonus Clean rooms

Unfortunately the bar/restaurant was closed when we arrived.This info is not clear on the website, which we checked on the way the web site says ‘evening 5pm to 11.00pm ‘ we arrived at 8pm and found the bar restaurant was not open (is shut on Sunday and Monday ). There wasn’t anything obviously close to the hotel for food/drinks.

Zeer schoon en grappig hoe het sportthema doorwerkte in het hotel. Zelfs op je kamer kon je sporten!

L’hôtel est à côté de la gare et la chambre est grande et très propre. On a beaucoup apprécié les équipements sportifs à disposition, notamment la table de ping-pong. Un grand merci au personnel, aimable et toujours prêt à aider

Perfect location, super helpful and friendly staff. The room was comfortable, spacious, clean and well equipped. The kitchenette was perfect and had almost everything we needed - the "kitchen welcome pouch" is genius but a tea towel for a kitchenette lite that is a must and it was missing. The parking felt secure and was convenient for being right in the centre of the city. The breakfast had everything you would like from a French breakfast. The hotel is right next to the train station but you can't hear the trainline at all.

The biggest problem which actually spoilt the stay for us was that the bar/restaurant serves as a night club. Our room was on the fourth floor and both Friday and Saturday nights our room was booming with the music from 2 floors below. Initially we thought it was one of the residents relaxing after work. It became a real inconvenience on Saturday night, as we had an early start on Sunday to catch the ferry back to the UK, and the music was blaring until after midnight. I think the hotel has confused priorities by trying to be everything to everyone, whilst the reality is you can't provide a comfortable accommodation for guest travellers if you also want to provide rowdy night life in the bar. This isn't clearly advertised on the listing and the reviews are suspiciously quiet about this compared to the reviews on Google Maps (which we haven't checked before booking). Maybe it's not the same on weekdays, but for us it was the worst timing. Which is a real shame because if it wasn't for that we would definitely want to come back.
