Independent, Valdivienne hotels

"Big, clean hotel with a small indoor pool. Staff were friendly but spoke limited English. Good selection for breakfast, but limited places to get a meal locally, and nothing available if you arrive late to check-in! 15 mins walk from Futuroscope (which is very much aimed at the French market). "

"A total mistake on my part making a booking at this hotel. It's inadequate in every way possible, no proper en suite, awful towels, etc. etc. I do not understand how a family could cope in these so called family rooms. Unfortunately I did not realise it is trying to be a theme type experience, rather than being a 'proper" hotel. We arrived at 5 pm and there was no parking available. The reception, corridor flooring etc. is as scruffy as you can get. I hope this helps to dissuade you from booking...

"Beautiful place, best dinning experience. Exquisite dinning"

"We stayed three very comfortable nights. Breakfast in the room was offered but we chose not to use this service. The reception clerks were great; on arrival, on departure, and at all times in between. If we ever return to Poitiers we would hope to stay at Hotel Central. The only negative thing was the three idiots in the street shouting to each other at 3:00 AM, all three nights."

"The hotel staff was very kind and timely !"

"Very tired empty hotel. Think we were only 1 of 3 rooms booked out. Car park unlit. Avoid."

"WE REALLY LIKED THIS HOTEL. WE WOULD STAY AGAIN."

"The room was warm unfortunately there was no hot water. Being January the restaurant was closed so even for a warm drink and food we had to go out in below freezing temperatures. The bed was very clean. No food or drink allowed in the rooms. "
