Campanile Orleans - La Source

Stayed in Campaniles before, yes little tired and dated, but what it makes up for is excellent staff - always friendly, helpful go above and beyond, welcoming and warm. For me with a little dog its perfect to walk out my room and be outside. I feel safe as a woman traveller on my own and my dog is always welcomed with open arms! what more do you want? other than a few english tv channels lol

few english tv channels would be good but its not a deal breaker! really there's everything you need and I know what to expect.!

The room was big enough, with all basic facilities needed. A plus was the fact that it was situated on the ground floor, making our life easier with the luggages (there is no elevator available in this highway-motel-type hotel). We had breakfast included, which came in very handy, as we could start the following travelling & sightseeing day with our 'batteries' recharged. The Swedish buffet type breakfast was decent, with enough options (with French baguette, croissants and pain-au-chocolat included, of course). The frontdesk personnel was very nice and helpful. Another big plus was the availability of a big parking, free of charge, as we were travelling by rented cars.

As we noticed before, in our previous trips to France, there is a certain smell in this type of hotels (we suspect it is from the type of cleaning substances used by the cleaning personnel). French breakfasts don't seem to include any fresh vegetables, only some fresh fruit, like apples and oranges.

Breakfast was great and plenty of it. Good location near major roads, but quiet! Comfy beds although rather small!

Booked via booking.command and yet again it was a more expensive price when paying hotel! Had dinner in the restaurant and the pasta bolognese was awful. They had forgot to add tomatoes but had used far too much garlic salt. Basically boiled mince with garlic salt, it was as bad as it sounds! Awful!

Room clean and warm

Restaurant not open Restaurant decor shabby Lack of choice at breakfast, items not replenished. Limited tea, coffee and milk in room plus paper cups.
