Best Western Plus Hotel Litteraire Alexandre Vialatte

Convenient for the centre with its restaurants and bars. The hotel itself was better than we expected it to be for the price. The hotel was comfortable but the bed in our room had a little "usage" dip in it but was comfortable enough, comfy pillows! No milk in the room with the tea and coffee refreshments but in hind site, I could have just asked. Great view from the breakfast room and a pretty good buffet breakfast but hot options were limited.

There are a few City Centre road works going on and so we had a small diversion. On entering the underground car park, the underneath of my car grazed the pavement as the angle down from the pavement on to the ramp down is quite acute, same happened on the way out. I think the length of car will dictate if this happens but if you are lucky enough to own a Ferrari or Porsche, I think the car will be too low to the ground. Although the room and hotel were very clean, they missed the dust on the extraction fan covers in the toilet and bathroom of our room.

Friendly, welcoming staff. A sense of ‘this place is trying hard to please’: the curb appeal is… low, but the literary theming, the staff, the comfort of the room, the quality of the breakfast all more than make up for this initial impression. Good location - a short walk to the cathedral, and very close to the Basilica of Notre Dame du Port. I recommend this hotel for an overnight stop in Clermont Ferrand. Parking in the underground carpark was a welcome bonus!I

External appearance. But never judge a book by its cover!

Breakfast was lovely, you have it on the top floor of the hotel and has a lovely view of the area, great choice of food to eat, bed was comfy, secure parking was really good... Lovely friendly staff, very smiley and very helpful...

I think it's a university town as it was very noisy outside around the town with people shouting and chanting a lot of the night till about two o clock, but it was a Saturday night and maybe it's quiet the other nights of the week...

A slightly quirky, but modern and comfortable hotel. A very short walk to the centre of the old town, but with the bonus of secure underground parking. A wonderful view of the city and mountains beyond from the breakfast room and top floor terrace.

A shame there was no hotel restaurant for evening meal, but the breakfast was good.

Very central and had excellent secure parking onsite which was a real bonus. Good to visit the main sites of CMF. Very comfortable family room, good aircon and clean. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment on that, but the view looked good from the breakfast room.

The hotel is modern, well equipped, friendly staff, just outside the historical center. The breakfast was not only very, very good, but had 180 degree view of the historical center, with the black volcanic rock pointing to the sky in front of you, connecting heaven and earth. Totally amazing.

I have nothing to complain about, the stay was perfect.

Room was quiet. Staff were welcoming. Excellent area on the ground floor for a coffee or drink. Near the centre..

The hotel has two sides. One faces the town and the other the back of the building. I always prefer the back as it is quieter. But this means changing my room upon arrival if available.

Great location and easy to find. Having its own car park in the centre was really helpful and easy to access.

No milk in the room or anywhere for coffee/tea. Even asked reception - we don’t do milk?

Room was very comfortable, clean and quiet. Breakfast was great, with a lot of variety and the breakfast room had a fantastic view. Staff was very polite and helpful.

There was a coffee machine, but only two capsules. There was no minibar in the room.

We booked a room with a balcony. The view of the city from the room was amazing. Although very central the double glazing was excellent for noise reduction. Large room which was great for us as we had our dog with us. They even have fast charging facilities available for our electric car.
