Escale Oceania Orleans

Not too bad

A reasonable hotel. Rooms okay, clean, basic, a slight step up from Etap, Premiere Classe etc. Bathroom good, very clean, shower reasonably good. Service was ok too. Breakfast was alright but a bit overpriced for a basic continental buffet. The hotel also had free parking and was well situated for a not-too-long walk into town.

Traveller's tip on dining

We ate in a Libyan restaurant on the main street in the centre of town where all the bars and cafes are - it was absolutely excellent, a nice surprise.

Good value overnight stop in Orleans

This is a good basic hotel ideal for one or two nights stopover. The free hotel parking is almost a must in Orleans. Our rooms were clean, tidy and comfortable. They appeared to be recently decorated. However, there was a damp smell in some of the corridors. Continental breakfast is available at the hotel for a small charge despite what you might read elsewhere. The reception staff were helpful, friendly and spoke better English than my french.

Cheap chain type hotel.

Adequate for a couple of days. Plain room with small bed and bathroom. No carpet so sounds in other rooms can be heard. Good car park but no bar, the receptionist will provide a drink if asked. Breakfast, as always in France was overpriced for a stewed coffee and bread. A better hotel than msot for 2 stars.

Traveller's tip on getting the most out of your stay

Only stay a couple of days. Orleans has little to offer. There’s not much of an old town and the restaurants there don’t compare with other towns. The Joan D’Arc museum was poor. Wouldn’t go again and in hindsight would’nt have gone at all in the first place.
