Advantages: Cheap and friendly, Standard format, Free parking

Disadvantages: Can sometimes be fully booked in places like Calias., Should be more of them

Kyriad hotels is a chain of hotels situated all over France, so if you are looking for a quite a cheap getaway I would highly recommend them. The standard of the hotel is excellent as I am about to state below.

All the hotels are based on major roads & tend to be based either on the edge of a city or just outside. This is a budget hotel chain with no frills. You will find this chain of hotels near formula one hotel and near the Holiday or Travel Inn hotels (British owned by either Whitbread or Bass).

Although I have already said this is a cheap budget hotel, the cost per night for a double room, you are looking at between £20 to £30 for the night. I have stayed in this hotel chain about 3 times now and the layout in each and the standards are about the same.

Cheap does not mean a lesser product! This is explained even further as below.

*Standards*

Ok, who has stayed in hotels yet have hated the smell, looks, and hated the staff? Well I think most of you must have came accross this.

Firstly, this hotel chain smells fresh and clean all the time, and any part of the hotel.

Secondly, the hotel always looks new and referbished. There are no tears in the wall paper, and freshly painted. It looks as if the hotel referbs each room avery year and they are maintained absolutly well.

*Rooms*

The rooms consists of the following extreamily nice factors;

comfortable beds,
opening windows,
complimentary sweets,
adequate lighting,
shelving; wardrobe; bedside cabinets,
great ensuit bathroom
and a TV with remote control (and English stations)

And that is in every room.

The bathroom consisted of
4 towels,
shower gels,
soaps,
powerful shower and bath tub,
working toilet,
mirror,
shaving socket,
sink,
and a dispensing hand soap.

This sounds too good to be true! well the rest is still to come. r>
*Layout*

The layout if you compare other hotels in the same chain have all the same colours and same room layouts. The only slight difference is that of the hotel itself. All of the hotels consit of a resturant, bar (the best part) and the rooms, so whichever of the hotels you go to, you always know where you are going.

*Resturant, Bar, and Breackfasts*

With the price that I have stated above (in the very first bit), the price of the room include breakfast. Breakfast is traditionally a French breakfast, and you can eat as much as you want. There is also coffee, fresh coffee, tea, milk, orange juice, and cordial.

The bar also has a small selection of beers and are in litres which is confusing and work out to be £2 a litre of kronemburg.

They do have a web site for this chain and is at http://www.kyriad.com. This site is very basic in the way of it only has one page which is a phone number of a reservation line, so dont use it. The best thing to do is go to one of the hotels itself and get a booklet of the chain which identifies all of the hotels and a local map with tourist attractions.

As there is so much information to cover, if you need or would like more information, you can email me or leave a comment and I will add bits in for you.

Happy travelling.
