Best Western Le Bois De La Marche

We have stayed at this hotel many times. It has large grounds for walking the dogs. The rooms are big and comfortable with super king beds. Friendly staff and good food. All floors are served by lift. The pool area and outside terrace looked inviting even if we didn't use it, we arriving just before dinner and leaving early the following morning, It is the only hotel where we have felt we could let our dogs run free off lead the grounds are that extensive less

Stayed here on a visit to Futuroscope as a cheaper alternative to on site hotels. It is a very nice hotel, large family room with a king sized bed and 2 singles. The pool is a good size and outdoors with heating. Had stayed here 18 years ago on a similar trip and was pleasantly surprised that it did not disappoint second time around. I would not eat in the restaurant again but there is not much more around. Did notice a shopping complex just across the main road and could maybe have found an alternative meal, particularly with children, like a buffalo grill. less

Ours was an overnight stop-over on a Sunday. Greeting at reception was good and informative, the initial impression was that the public areas were very tired and in need of a refurb and decoration. Our room (217) was a similar condition, although the bathroom (no toilet) looked to have been recently re-tiled the shower curtain (dated) had mold around the bottom. The toilet was in a separate small room with no wash basin. They could do away with the bath, fit a shower cubicle and then a toilet would fit quite easily into the room - not a lot of thought needed. The restaurant did look well presented but offering food at Paris prices - being a Sunday most restaurants in Poitiers are closed so they have a captive audience, there is no bar or snack menu. The pool was an added bonus but there were insufficient sun-loungers for the number of people there (8 loungers max - 15 to 20 bodies). The grounds are extensive and its a lovely setting, the staff we encountered were good, polite and efficient - just needs a good make-over. Would we stay again if in the area........? Not sure. less

We booked 2 rooms for a 3 night stay on our way home to England to catch the last of the good weather. We booked mostly for the outdoor heated pool and we weren't disappointed. The reception staff were fantastic and made every effort to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The restaurant was pleasant, if a little bit over complicated. At lunchtimes they serve the same menu as in the evenings, but were quite accommodating when we asked for something simple and made us a few cheese and ham rolls and chips. So we can't complain at all. Breakfast was fine, and the coffee good. Although I can see why people said it was a little dated in the rooms, that's true enough, but it's clean and the restaurant and where you eat breakfast was really very nice, and generally we found the staff lovely. I'd stay here again and thought it was good value. less

This title "self-service" is the closest I can think of. It's a weird place, probably because of the staff ! Checking in was terrible, the lady literally ignored me twice to attend people coming from outside, same happened with checking out (although then she ignored me only once :) ) After check in I went to my room and it was dirty and messed up, probably someone had just checked out .. Came back to reception and they just gave me another key to another room ! No sorry no apologies no nothing !!! Not even a word. There was no one at the front desk almost every time we needed anything. Breakfast .. No one around from the staff, and if they are around they are busy with something else related to anything except costumers !! Lunch and dinner .. You'll be served and you have no right to complain, ask, choose, or ask for more, just eat what's being put in front of you !! Room service was a lovely story as well .. Probably the only thing they did was make up the bed; and that's it, everyday I come back to my room and I see the same dirty spots in the room !! Makes you think, did they change the sheets after the last person was here? I really doubt it. Unfortunately .. Waste of money. less
