Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel De France enjoys a prime location in the heart of Valence, making it easy to explore the city center's attractions, restaurants, and shops on foot and being a short walk from Valance Ville station. Guests appreciate the spacious, renovated rooms, some of which overlook the car park. The junior suites are particularly generous in size, and some rooms feature convenient amenities like tea and coffee making facilities; however, a few guests have occasionally noted issues such as dated rooms. Having a large parking lot in the city center is considered a significant plus.

Fantastic Stay in a Central Location!

central locationspacious suitehelpful staffdirty carpet
The location was wonderful. I easily walked to nearby bistros and restaurants. My junior suite was spacious and I got it at a fantastic price.
The carpet in the bedroom showed some wear, it had some dirty spots, and the bathroom's layout caused shower water to spill onto the floor, I had to use a towel to soak it up.

Small room, dusty parking

The hotel's location was acceptable with restaurants nearby.
The bedroom felt very small. The carpet had dirty sections and some fixtures were broken. The car park used dusty gravel. I think it should be tarmac.
