Hotel Syracuse

Probably the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. We didn't have high expectations seeing the pictures but the actual experience was worse than I imagined... We stayed only one night with my husband and 2 little children but I seriously feared for our health. I don't mind old furniture but the whole room was filthy, bed linen are dirty, old and smelly and I definitely had some insects crawling all over my body while tired to fall asleep. The bathroom has not been cleaned for years. Only one word can describe it: disgusting! To avoid in any case.

We booked this hotel for just one night as we didn't want to drive home in one day. After reading many reviews, we were quite concerned with some cases we read about e.g. bed bugs and poor hygiene, so our expectations were quite low. When we hadn't arrived yet at 9PM, the hotel called us to make sure we weren't running too late. Upon arrival, an extremely pleasant lady helped us which made a good first impression. The room (double) was up to its standards: two beds, ensuite shower&toilet and tv. Beds are comfy for one night and the curtains might pass through a little too much light, but nothing came close to the horrors we've read about! Definately a good place to stay for a night on a budget!

Hotel Syracrus booked we knew it was cheap so we expected  'basic'. The room contained a small  double and a single bed. A tiny shower room. It was pretty shabby, needed decoration and the beds looked as though they had seen better days. We are not fussy  people and it was an overnight  stop on the way back to Paris from southern France. My husband noticed the dust bed bugs first, combined with noise of mice in the ceiling.. I was already asleep  - he was  in a deleemer of whether to wake thus freaking me out  or letting me sleep. I realised just how infested the bed was when I woke up (wondering why he was sleeping in the single)., and noticed the bed crawling, every time you flicked them off they left blood on the bed . We had wondered when we arrived what the marks on the wall were blood, obviously where people had tried to flatten them.  We tried to get some sleep on top of the cover as fewer mites ventured to the surface . Husband who needed sleep as he had a 200 km drive to Paris slept on the single bed with no cover badly. I tried to sleep with him but was so disturbed it was impossible. No free Wifi as advertised and one small tower between two. It was truly disgusting . Avoid the Syracuse like the plague (of bed bugs). On the plus side it was cheap in price. Thet couldn't pay me enough to not sleep there again. My husband is covered in bites from head to foot, not a brilliant end to a wonderful holiday. I would recommend avoiding this hotel however low the cost. They also charged us on checking in, and no one around (surprise!) when we checked out. All in all disgusting, just glad we didn't have any kids with us in the 'family' room.
