When we made the booking we thought we were booking for the Grand Hotel on a 'genius deal' it turned out the booking was for their sister budget hotel some distance up the road. The receptionist at The Grand Hotel changed our booking to the Grand Hotel, needless to say it cost us extra so not sure if we got a deal or not. To Booking.com - hotels should not be allowed to use their 'good' hotel name on the booking page of their 'other' budget hotel ... whatever the photos or small print - it's misleading at best, if not a con.

Everything was of an acceptable standard. Nothing special, nothing wrong.

room was on the small side to accommodate twin beds and a chest of drawers which was not accessible.

clean, security code to enter main door, a minute’s walk from the main hotel to have breakfast.

Room needed some maintenance attention (cracked tile in front of washbasin, torn ceiling tile, peeling plastic strip coming away from the desk). I rang ahead to check parking and was told there was a car park. It proved impossible to access it as the entry was so narrow. Cars parked down the hill on the left side meant there was no chance to manoeuvre my car to gain access. I was forced to park on the road both evenings. Small point but was disappointed the maid could not offer me a spoon as I'd taken my kettle to make tea and coffee in my room as there were no facilities. A wooden stick would have sufficed or a pencil!

Great price for the room for two nights. Fortunately weather was fine as I had to collect key from another hotel 50m away. After check in I received a passcode for access to the hotel. Room basic but acceptable and fitted with a TV. I've stayed in rooms with no TV and mouldy shower cubicles so it was great to see a spotless room. A perfect low-budget stay in a great town with plenty of dining facilities and seaside setting.

Complete con, restaurant closed. Not the main hotel

Did exactly what we needed but don’t have high expectations of bargain. One of our rooms smelt damp and it turned out the carpet in front of the bathroom was wet

We needed a convienient bed for the night which this was at a good price. But very basic.

It is called a Hotel, but this venue is actually rooms only. There are no usual hotel niceties. We found it clean, reasonably cheap, no frills, basic accommodation. It is a dated building and some refurb is evident, but pre-owned furniture and tatty facilities and finish don't help it to sparkle. Work may be on-going. Saw the poor reviews beforehand, and gave it a chance. Disappointing... But you get what you pay for afterall. Booked two nights, but only stayed one.

Great location in Benodet. Excellent reception staff at the main hotel. Good price, but very basic room. Swimming pool looked lovely.

Very small and dated. The shower screen door was broken and the window was also broken. The curtains did not close.

Although spotlessly clean with comfortable beds , the rooms have not been refurbished since the 1970s I would imagine- decoration was blue emulsion covering every service and pink bathroom. Cracked tiles, rotten basin cabinet held together with rotten gaffer tape - many people would find this wholly unacceptable. Parking is via a really narrow archway - and if a 4 WD is parked opposite the archway you’re in trouble. Trick is to back in- I went in front ways the first time and caused expensive damage to drivers door- simply putting in rubber surround would have prevented this. Hotel did refund my parking fees in total but I’m still seriously out of pocket. There is free parking however on street relatively close by. Basement level where swimming pool Is is very run down and abandoned- but pool itself is in lovely garden.

Very good breakfast in the proper and luxurious Grand Hotel a short walk away from ‘annexe’ - excellent service from breakfast staff. Good swimming pool - invaluable asset for young children. Central location in very up market holiday resort- can walk or get miniature train to the main beach. Excellent beach club for children 15 mins walk away- 8 euros per hour if you just turn up - great value. Huge comfortable bath A short walk to the boat jetty for all river cruises etc.

Our room was in a very poor condition - peeling wallpaper, broken ceiling tiles etc. The room decor was very dated and the bathroom smelt of sewage because the shower and sink drain directly into the soil pipe (allowing nasty odours to come back up). You have to walk through the parking area to get to the swimming pool. On the hot days the room temperature was too high, some air conditioning is needed.

Decent swimming pool, good central location in Benodet.
