Première Classe Saintes — Hotel in Saintes

The reception was not open anymore when we arrived, but there is a self check-in computer at the front of the hotel. Good idea, but it was unbelievably slow. The Lady from the hotel helped us using it, so we waited together for 3 minutes to switch from one step to the next one. Only for me it took 10 minutes to check-in. And this happened to the family who arrived just before us as well. The room was clean, if these bugs don't count as dirt (We found three in the room). The breakfast was Ok, and the staff was friendly. But the room is much smaller then expected. If you pull one of the beds away from the other, to use the room as a twin bed room, you can not open or close the door properly anymore. And the bathroom is really small!

The toilet was a plastic cubicle that you could about sit on the toilet and shower at the same time. ||||I was not expecting much for the price, but this fell short of even that, the formula one would be a better choice.||||Would I recommend this hotel, well I would say its almost better to stay and sleep in the car. Unless you like the feel of an old cheap caravan I...

We were there for a night only, on our way to Brest from Barcelona. At the reception, there was a little “WANTED” paper with a picture of a cockroach and some text in French that we did not pay attention to. When we got to our room, it was small and smelt like old, with a WC with shower where we could barely fit... but that was not all, at night, we found at least 3 cockroaches IN THE ROOM! It was an awful experience. I could not rest at all and I paid 48€ for that room.

I am giving one star because of two reasons:
