J'ai vraiment pas l'habitude de rédiger des critiques sévères voire dures lors de mes voyages. Mais là : que dire...? Le visionnage des photos sur TripAdvisor laissait imaginer une belle fin de journée lors de notre étape de retour du Portugal vers Paris. Je me faisais un plaisir de piquer une petite tête dans la piscine après ces heures de route. L'emplacement au bout d'une impasse le long du lac est sympa et laissait présager un bon moment de quiétude, mais c'est tout. Cet établissement manque cruellement d'entretien et nécessite une refonte totale. J'ai même pas eu envie de me mettre sur un transat au bord de la petite piscine (d'ailleurs il n'y avait pas assez de transats...) Le joint de la porte d'entrée est décollé, l'impression globale fait plus penser à une vieille maison de retraite qu'un hôtel, même au niveau de l'odeur à l'entrée, l'ascenseur est vieillot, les couloirs sont imprégnés d'une odeur de tabac froid, les murs extérieurs sont sans commentaire (je préfère mettre des photos), des tâches suspectes sur les murs de toilettes et de la salle de bain, une chasse d'eau d'une autre époque, des toiles d'araignée dans les angles de la chambre... et je pourrais en rajouter... Je mets cependant 2/5 car le personnel était accueillant et le lit plutôt confortable. Franchement c'est dommage car vous pourriez lui redonner une nouvelle vie acceptable. Désolé pour ce commentaire, mais j'espère qu'il aura au moins le mérite de vous faire accélérer la recherche de financement en vue de travaux rapides et indispensables.

Located in the outskirts of Saint Paul les Dax, the hotel is to be kept for a step. The welcome is sympathetic and smile. The room is clear and quite spacious, the comfortable litter. The possibility of taking a full breakfast in free service. Free parking around the hotel.

Truthfully the only positive thing I can report is that the staff we met were all very pleasant. We were here for five days, the beds and pillows must have come from the TV set of The Flintstones, they were that hard ! My wife had to go out and buy a soft pillow so she could at least get some sleep. DON'T think this is a hotel with a swimming pool guests can use free! They charge 14 euros for two hours use !!!!!!! I accept spa and thermal rooms would be charged, but for the pool NO ! Breakfast is average, again the staff were jolly and pleasant but truthfully variety at breakfast was nothing more than I would expect from the standard of hotel. The room we booked had twin beds, sofa, TV etc. It also had a small kitchen area but the power to the Microwave and cooker hobs were not connected. There was no kitchen utensils apart from a kettle & two cups. It's 29 degrees outside over the last three days and the hotel airconditioning and the room airconditioning is NOT WORKING. I note this was also the case last august from a previous post by a guest. For the room price there are far better options.......

Great value for an overnight stop. Friendly staff and comfortable room with Tea/coffee facilities and very clean. Situated on a lake which was obscured by a dome but didn’t bother us. It’s a 15 minute walk to the local supermarkets following the lake. We purchased spit roast chicken and roast potatoes and enjoyed a “picnic” outside the hotel with a lovely bottle of wine. There are also benches around the lake. Very pretty place. Will definitely stay again.

I stayed in L'amarena for a little more months, working at my home. The first apartment was very good, but in many cases it would be very good to start works in other rooms to return to it :) And welcome to the top, great positive point.

We stayed here once before and vowed never to do so again but made a mistake and booked for one night while travelling north to Dieppe. Of course, we recognised the hotel as sson as we saw it; the images do not show the whole story. But first a plauidit for a lovely girl in reception who smiled, spoke better English than I do French. She did not recognise our discount card for the group but managed to find a way to meet the price we were expecting. The first complaint is about parking. there is a little in front of the hotel and none at reception which is a problem on a wet night. There is plenty by the rear rooms but signage is poor so you are likely to find your room, luggage laden, before you discover there is parking just below it! Having visited before we knew not to attempt the restaurant; there is no chef on Sunday evening but the receptionist managed to produce a couple of bottles of beer - there is no bar - which were very welcome. The rooms are very disappointing and not worth even the discounted price we paid. There is a kettle in the room and in our room, two kettle bases which defies logic. There are too few recharge points for today's plethora of electronic devices we use when travelling. The room was passably clean and the notice that there would be a fine for smoking, quite ridiculously high and frankly unenforceable. The final insult was found when using the shower room in the morning - a nasty, although dead bug and then to our horror another on the desk (pictured). Having complained to Campanile on our last visit and received a very poor response we haven't bothered this time and we most certaionly won't be back!
