Carré Noir sur Albertville

01/10/2026: Pretty good place, there’s something for everyone. I stayed in the capsule without windows, and I wish they have more capsule rooms. There is air conditioning but I wonder how is there enough oxygen in the room with no air exchange. There is no kitchen for the capsules. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Positives: There are sheets and the room is clean. Bring your own towel. Shared bathroom and showers are clean and are not too busy in the autumn. Three showers for male but one is out of service. It was great to be able to leave bags before check in and after check out. I was also able to use the shower after check out as this was the main reason I booked this place. Nearby there are lots of supermarkets within walking distance but you need to be careful as the roundabout was designed by a carbrain with no walking infrastructure. Negatives: Unfortunately the walls are super thin you can hear people snoring, their alarms going off and the doors banging. The hotel is also super busy and there seems to be some conference/workshop thing going on when I was there. It was annoying because they’re there for the day and it’s occupying the entire hotel public area for the actual staying guests into the evening. You are not allowed to store your bike in your own room but there is a bike storage space. It seems to be secure but you do not want to leave your €10k bike there without a proper lock and for me had I known this beforehand I would have gone somewhere else. From a risk management perspective for an average bike no problem but for an expensive bike just be aware you know the rules and decide whether you can accept the risks. The bike pump’s nozzle is broken unfortunately. Overall I think the price was reasonable. It was the cheapest booking direct. I would recommend staying here.

07/08/2026: It’s overall a disaster when staying here. As the first moment I stepped into the room, it was as dirty as in the hell, which you can easily see in those videos. As we stayed longer, it was getting worse and worse because all the staffs don’t wanna deal with it… It’s just smelly and super dirty everywhere. The bunk bed is another disaster… how could you provide the bed as bad as earthquake when serving as 3 stars ⭐️ hotel?!? It’s embarrassing!!!! You have to pray there is no any guest becoming your neighbor, or you would meet earthquake for whole night without getting asleep. The bed is super light so if you have tiny action, it could just shake a lot lot. The ventilation of this aisle of Dorm area also has super huge problem because both toxic Drugs and Cigarettes smells keep coming in!!! It’s so poisonous ☠️ !!!! Whenever I got out of the room, I would feel super nauseous and sick because of bathing in these poisonous smells. The management of this hotel is also totally broken. Sometimes they forget to change the linen for new guests and if you ask different staffs for the same question, you would always get different answers, which are also wrong answers 🤷 They are totally totally totally not helpful. While the price is the cheapest in France, you got what you paid for. Btw there is a bus station nearby, where you can take it to the city center for 1.4 euro 💶
