Le Clocher de Rodez Centre Gare

Really comfortable bed, clean, great location

We arrived at Le Clocher de Rodez via taxi from the airport. Don't be alarmed if the meter shows a fixed fare from the start of your journey - this is normal from the airport. The taxi fare was 35 euros plus a 5 euro supplement. Also be aware that some airport taxis don't have credit card facilities so have some cash handy however, there is also an airport shuttle bus that stops right outside of the hotel which is cheaper. We stayed at Le Clocher de Rodez twice due to its close proximity to the train station (an easy walk with a suitcase). We stayed in room 121 first and then 218 next time. Both rooms were very spacious with spacious bathrooms. Very clean and comfortable with large beds. Room 121 was an inside facing room so was very quiet whilst 218 faced the street and caught a lot of late night street noise however, it did have internal doors that could be closed to reduce the noise. The television settings can be adjusted to different languages. The location is excellent - very close to the main street and within walking distance to a lot of attractions. Many bars, restaurants and shops close by. There is a small night market right next door which is handy. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. Maps were freely available at the front desk.

The location was very central. The young lady on reception when we arrived was very friendly and helpful. The bed was fairly comfortable. The shower was hot, when it eventually got to temperature. The towels were huge which was lovely. We didn’t have breakfast there (I think she said it was €12,90/person) but there is a boulangerie over the road with lovely croissants and pain au chocolat.

The value can't be beat. It's a little funky, but the location is perfect for seeing the lovely old part of the city--the cathedral, the central square, the markets and shops. Bus station right across the street; the free shuttle that goes around the city also stops right in front of the hotel. The staff was wonderful and so helpful. There was no request that was not met with a smile and good cheer. All of the amenities were good: comfortable bed, hot shower and bath.

Excellent location; easy walk from the train station and the airport bus leaves just around the corner, max 2 minutes walk + near the old town and many attractions. It is a simple and basic three-star hotel, no frills and no surprises one way or the other, but good value for money.
