Campanile Laval

Standard not what we have come to expect of the Campanile chain

We have stayed in many Campnanile Hotels over the years and actively seek them out when travelling. Laval was disappointing. The general impression was that ’corners were being cut’ in the interests of economy. There was litter on the stairs to the room. The pillow cases on the spare pillows had not been changed after the previous guests and the face flannels in the bathroom were slightly damp, as if the had not been changed. We arrived on a Sunday night and there were not many guests in the hotel or restaurant. The plat de jour was chicken and rice. I suspect that the chef had prepared a quantity of rice as it was served with another main dish in place of the accompaniments indicated on the menue and requested. The waitress, in fairness, did offer to change it after we had complained. At breakfast the croissants were stale.

Traveller's tip

The location of this hotel was quiet and quite attractive compared with some hotels in the chain

Good budget hotel

Well located especially if you are heading north. Rooms equivelant to Premier Inn standards. Handy "Buffallo Bill" (Ala TGI Friday’s) restaurant next door.
