Hotel Saint-Jacques

We stayed two nights during a family cycling holiday. It was clean and convenient for the town and as we were able to stay in a large room for all six of us it was economical too. The bathroom was great, modern and spacious with a bath and a separate large shower. The host took us over to the underground carpark where we were able to leave our bicycles safely. Our room overlooked the square where there was live music one evening. Wifi on the landing just outside the room.

I was intrigued by the hotel's pretty exterior and assumed the inside would be similar: a scattering of antique furniture, old photographs of the magnificent town, fresh flowers . . . nope. Attacked in the 1970s/80s and more recently, the hotel retains nothing of any character inside but it's a clean, blank option if that doesn't bother you, and it is very well placed for visiting the historic town centre.||I was a bit mystified by the fact it's a three star establishment; two would be more appropriate, judging by other two starred I have stayed in. It's basic, no hint of luxury and||our bathroom, was well due for refurb to be three star. The other thing, and I'm not in the habit of moaning - check my other reviews - was that the pillows were terrible. For three stars I would expect more than the cubes of sponge type . . . ||Apart from the pillow problem which did give me a less than good sleep, the hotel was very quiet, even though fully-booked, and there was no street noise.

This was our pre Camino walk hotel.||It's a compact hotel that has around sixteen rooms over four levels plus a lift.||The hosts are friendly, speak reasonable English and are happy to oblige.||Breakfast ( petit dejeuner) is typical French and is plentiful.||An extra special thanks to Anne Marie the host who hand delivered some mail that arrived for us after we departed. She met us on the track and had been waiting for us to arrive. We stayed three nights and is fairly priced. Beds are excellent.||They don't supply dinner but gave us a voucher for 'Hippopotamus' restaurant which was nearby. It is close to many restaurants or varying price and quality.

A small affordable and friendly hotel.just on the edge of the old town. We didn’t know about the importance of the pilgrims trail and met several other guests there that were walking. We went for the bobbin lace history and used Le Puy-en-Velay as a base. Did a day trip to Retournac lace museum. The owner and his family were most helpful

Location is good. Our room was minimal. It was chilly in mid-september. Patron said heat couldn't be turned on yet, but there's a heater in the bathroom. But it didn't work. Beds fine. Place is clean. Owner was very unaccommodating and brusk.

A very uncomfortable experience: the hotel owner didn't want to show me a room, when I walked in and asked for a room for the night. This surprised me, but happens every now and then, and is no reason as such to walk away. But the way this hotelowner talked to me (hostile, agressive, very rude) made me feel very uncomfortable, and I left the place instantly, never to come back again. I felt sorry for the nice woman at the reception desk, who felt obviously awkward by her bosses behaviour. Never had an experience like this before.

we really liked our stay in this hotel. it was tiny, but just right, and everything was impeccable and quite cute. the staff was incredibly helpful, and although they could have charged us for parking, they showed us where we could park free overnight. very affordable and a pleasant stay.

Stayed here on a cycle trip on the Loire. The hotel is small and rather basic but this was reflected in the price. Staff were friendly and helpful. Its in a good location for the various sights in the town.

This place is quite lovely. They were incredibly helpful, inexpensive, convenient, even helped us avoid paying for parking! The room was small but very clean and cute, and really is quite a deal. We found it at the last minute, and were very pleased to.
