Le Crystal sur Valence

12/11/2025: Last-minute booking for one night (Saturday to Sunday). Excellent welcome from the gentleman at reception, very friendly and professional, who prepared everything for our arrival and clearly explained the included services. Parking is available in the train station car park a few meters away for a small additional fee. The common areas (reception, restaurant, breakfast room) are pleasant and the decor is modern. The room, however, was quite small and lacked natural light. The main light shone directly into our eyes when we were lying down, which was not at all comfortable. The bathroom was very cramped, with a damaged cabinet under the sink that really needs replacing. The hotel shows its age, despite some modernization efforts. The parquet floor creaks and moves with every step. Breakfast is nothing special: the bare minimum, with bread, croissants, pain au chocolat, a little fruit, and not much else. Finally, it's not a particularly quiet hotel: you can hear other guests walking and talking, the noise of the street, and from early morning, the cleaning staff talking quite loudly, probably on their phones. For a short stay, the hotel does the job, but not for anything longer.

11/11/2025: Excellent hotel, very friendly staff, very nice room, right next to the train station, very quiet. I highly recommend this establishment.
