What guests think

At Hotel Gambetta, travellers praise the very central, tram-accessible location and consistently friendly, helpful staff, while noting simple, compact rooms suited to short stays; many find good value overall despite a few drawbacks common to older city buildings.

Breakfast is frequently described as good and varied, and rooms are generally clean. Common downsides include no air conditioning, street-side noise, and many stairs because the lift does not reach every floor. Best for short city breaks focused on exploring rather than on-site amenities.

Hotel Gambetta, being a 2-star property, is as youd expect, basic, clean, and no frills. The room was comfortable and clean, but relatively small. The staff were great, and very helpful. Location is very central and walkable, with parking approximately 300m away. There was noticeable street noise at night, and the blockout curtains didnt quite shield the night lights.

Suite à notre réservation sur internet, nous avons eu l'info d'un parking disponible a 500m de l'hôtel, nous le cherchons encore. La chambre est vétuste, la salle de bain vieillotte, le pommeau de douche ne tenais pas en place, la douche avait de la rouille. Le distributeur de papier toilette était bien trop petit par rapport au rouleau, peu pratique. La moquette était plus ou moins propre avec des taches. Des fenêtres en bois pour un hôtel "écolo", donc non isolés, c'est dommage. Les chambres ne sont pas isolés entre elles (plancher bois), nous pouvions discuter à travers le mur. A partir de l'entrée, il est impératif de monter un 1er étage avant d'accéder à l'ascenseur. Donc impossible si vous êtes handicapé. Le bouquet final, 1h d'attente pour le petit déjeuner car trop peu de place pour le nombre total de chambre. Pour finir, 50€ pour le parking que nous avons découvert en arrivant.

The room was very small, no safe, or fridge. Peeling paint on walls, average bathroom decor and noise from street with window shut was still loud. Luggage was difficult to get into room with significant steps from the lift. No plug sockets on one side of the bed. Only 4 hangars supplied for 2 people was not enough for a 3 night stay especially with limited room to open & store suitcases. Great location however and friendly staff.

The price for the location is excellent. It is near the middle of all of the main sights downtown.
