Hotel Moderne

I have stayed at the Moderne quite a few times while visiting the WW1 sites and associated towns around Arras or just passing through and was really sad when it had to close for renovation following the fire. Great to see its back up and running again and took the opportunity to have a night there on the way home from a stay south west. Its back to how it should be, rooms and reception nice and clean, reception and staff very friendly and breakfast decent (all hotel breakfasts are a bit pricey now, so this was no different to others) Location is great for visiting Arras, no more than a 5 minute walk to the main squares, churches and belfry and more restaurants and cafes than you would need for a few nights stay. It's also a 25 minute walk to the Carriere Wellington which is well worth a visit. Parking outside the hotel is easy, if on a motorbike like me you can park on the square right outside and chain the bike to the metal posts, there is a "Motos" spot as well, enough for 3 touring bikes to fit in. Overall glad to be back there and not on the ring road hotels and looking forward to a return sooner than later.

Comfortable and very clean room. The staff is very attentive and provides a warm and professional welcome.

Arrived mid thunderstorm so unloading a bit of effort as parking not close. Nice guy on reception, room was Ok nothing flash but comfortable. No food at evening on Sunday so had another wet trek to eateries in main square. Breakfast was adequate some variety, morning reception lady also lovely. Traffic outside open window a bit of too early morning call, but all and all fine.
