Le Parisien is a small traditional hotel in walking distance from the city centre of Saintes and close to the SNCF station. I could park my fully loaded car in the locked yard. The garden probably looks fantastic in spring and summer. 53 years ago I was an exchange student in Saintes and decided to go check up on the town again. Coming from Andalusia I was a bit disappointed because the it was much colder and no people in the streets of the old town. I liked the hotel, the service and the breakfast. Next time end of summer I will book Le Parisien again. The host was really friendly.

A great little family run place. The hostess was so kind with my limited french, so patient and helpful. She helped putting my motorbike in the garage and gave me information and tips on how to see Saintes. Super cool garden with an artistic splash. Location is perfect for hopping off the train and getting to your accomoation as Saintes centre was just a beautiful 10 minute walk down a tree lined boulvard.

Great place to stay in Saintes, close to the train station with good value bars and restaurants nearby. The historic centre is only about 10 minutes walk away. It has secure parking for bicycles and a very welcoming host, while the shared shower was clean with plenty of hot water. But the truly outstanding feature is the flower filled and serene back garden which was huge and organised into semi separate alcoves with tables, the perfect place for breakfast on a summer's morning.

Nothing.

The garden was absolutely gorgeous- the owner obviously spends a lot of time there. The owner was lovely very friendly and obliging. bed comfy and lovely fresh linen. coffee in garden for €1 - heaven!!

decor pretty tired and needed to be careful on stairs. Shower very old but functional.

Ease of booking in. A lovely madame. Nice cafe round the corner. pleasant walk into a lovely town.

Upstairs bathroom out of service

The hostess is very sweet and helpful! Breakfast was delicious and I had the option to check out a little later to catch a train and not wait on the station for hours. It also has a lovely garden to chill.

The bed was a little to short for me, and the walls are really thin so you can hear your neighbors

Beautiful breakfast. Coffee, tea, bread, lovely croissants, jam and chocolate. Great start to the day.

Nothing bad at all.

A pleasant view into French traditional Hotellerie for ordinary people. Very kind reception and service.

It was really convenient, clean and cosy. The lady was really friendly and went the extra mile! Very satisfied!

I liked everything

The host is very friendly, try to help in any situation.

WiFi some time is slow.
