“Very pleasant overnight stay. Comfortable bed and pillows. Quiet, even though situated in the middle of town. Very room and public spaces. Friendly, efficient young people on reception. Nice change from the chain hotels.”
“Absolutely beautiful hotel. Rooms are spacious, clean and they provide lots of information about the hotel and the area. My name on the TV was a very nice personal touch on my arrival. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Bathroom was very clean and the shower is amazing! 5 minute walk to the train station to major cities. Overall would highly recommend this hotel!”
“Love the location easy walk to almost everything in Le Puy. Nice decorated rooms and love the song themes for the room names. Very nice bathroom with nice warming towel. Very quiet room for being downtown. Service was good but not great. Had a small issue when making a restaurant reservation but otherwise I will stay there again.”
“This is a very nice hotel. The room was clearly remodeled recently to the highest standard. Quite modern while retaining the charm of its history. Our only complaint was that the bed was too comfortable. We slept right through breakfast! Best night’s sleep in months. The staff was so helpful and understanding. They gave us breakfast even though the official time had been missed. Wonderful location in a beautiful town. Highly recommended.”
“We enjoyed our short stay at the Regina. The hotel is steps away from the medieval town and a sort walk to the famed Notre Dame de France shrine (great overall view from the top) and the historic cathédrale du Puy. It is worthwhile to walk through the “vieux Le Puy” old town to admire the 15th century houses. The guest rooms have been tastefully redecorated and the rain shower is wonderful. We had a nice cèpes pasta dish with wine dinner at the cozy restaurant. The reception and staff were all very welcoming.”
“Lovely vintage hotel with recently renewed facilities, beautiful personality, friendly staff, nearby parking lot and a central location in charming Le Puy. Made for a perfect stay, highly recommended.”
“I arrived on a Saturday evening: at first the reception desk was unmanned, then after a while someone came who handed me my room key, showed me where the lift was, and nothing more. No information about my room, or hotel services, or anything else was offered. He didn't even tell me when breakfast was. Later I found other front desk staff to be better trained and very helpful, though they seemed to have no preprinted information for guests, such as restaurant, shopping and sight-seeing suggestions. Some breakfast staff also appeared to be under-trained. I had a spacious room on the third floor, which was comfortable and pleasant and had everything I needed. The bathroom was excellent apart from inadequate lighting. There were features of the room that staff should have explained to me but didn't: for example the heating/aircon controls, and the electronic indicator to tell housekeeping when to clean (great idea, once you've found it). The fitness room was pleasant, fairly small, and had the usual basic equipment chosen by someone who didn't know much about it (some weights were provided, but nothing under 6 kg!). The hotel has an excellent location: right in the middle of town, close to the railway station.”
