Quick Palace

I got there for professional reasons and will never get there again! Everything is broken, dirty or not working! The wifi doesn't work AT ALL, the towel rack is missing, lamps are broken... In a word: don't get there! It should be closed!

I stayed here on a trip to explore family history on the western front. At the time, I was really grateful to find a bed for the night as I started to look rather late in the evening and many hotels I tried were full. However, I was put in the room next to the reception area. There was a young football team who stayed there for much of the evening. The walls were so thin that I could hear every shake of the dice of the game they were playing let alone the talking and shouts. The hotel would not change my room or even talk to the lads. In the end, I spoke to the lads myself and they finished their game to leave the reception within five minutes. Thanks lads. So, on the downside the hotel is noisy to say the least. The staff do not speak a word of English and you need some school French just to get by. Room was paid for with cash in advance which is a little odd. Room is basic but I would not expect more for the money but only suitable really for a single person as the bathroom is just screened off rather than a separate room. Room just does not feel "clean". On the upside, very cheap for 47 Euros and as such a much better alternative than sleeping in the car. Bedding was clean even if the room feels shabby. Parking is pretty secure and safe - I basically had my car just outside my bedroom window. Breakfast (again paid in cash in advance) at 5.5 Euros was surprisingly good value - plenty of everything you need including fruit to set you up for the day. A good location next to the autoroute and a quick 10km or so to Vimy Ridge to see what I wanted to see. On the whole though, there must be much better alternatives in the area which I just didn't fi
