I rate Hôtel d'Angleterre Grenoble Centre a “5”, not because it is a “great” hotel, but because it is very good - and a very good value for the dollar (Euro).
It’s a little old and tired, but it’s perfectly functional and clean. The staff is extremely friendly, welcoming, and patient. You get what you pay for and this hotel may actually be underpriced.
I don’t think you can find a better location. Right in the heart of Grenoble - we walked everywhere.
They did a nice job with the windows- they kept the old-style, charming windows in place, but added what I’ll call “storm windows” that open. The result is a perfectly unobstructed view and if closed, zero street noise. Our room overlooked a busy square and we heard nothing.
If a friend or family member were visiting Grenoble, I’d tell the to stay at Hôtel d'Angleterre Grenoble Centre!
