Best Western Plus Hotel Gergovie

With high prices in Clermont Ferrand, this Best Western was reasonably priced at 85,- without breakfast. Make sure you have a reservation since we called and the hotel responded this was not necessary. When we arrived, the hotel was full and they had one room for disabled guests left. Room was ok but since we were on the ground floor, we only had a patio door, no window. I love to sleep with an open window but leaving the door open didn't seem a smart idea. The WIFI was quite slow. If you don't need a big breakfast, take the express breakfast which is reasonably priced. Parking is safe with gated parking at the hotel and the hotel is just next to the A75. All in all a thumbs up. 👍 less

Quite modern rooms, good bathrooms and a nice Terasse to having a drink; observe over a beer the sunset! Attentive team at the front desk. We very mich appreciated the opportunity that they locked up our bikes. less

We hadn't booked but rooms were available. We were told the price would be 75Eur. On the internet, it was 63Eur. We asked for that price but were told that booking.com keeps a careful eye on their reservations, and they are not allowed to offer the same price (they get fined). They could, however, throw in breakfast. The websites take 20% of the price which leaves a margin of 3% for the hotel, so we decided to pay the hotel's own price, and to avoid internet sites in the future (except for Trip Advisor :)). The room was very nice: great bed, beautifully clean, mini bar, safe, kettle, teas and coffee, nice view towards the village. The hotel is very well placed for the Parc des Expositions and for visiting the region. We had dinner in the restaurant - Truffade - which was very good, served with salad, and we had a half bottle of malbec red which went very well. The breakfast bar the next day was excellent - hot food (sausages, bacon, eggs), water to boil your own egg, and cold meats, cheeses, cereals etc. It was all good. The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful, so we were delighted with our stay. We parked the motorbike right outside the front door - the environment is very safe. less

We stayed at this hotel for two nights in June 2016 as we were in the region for a music concert that was meant to take place at the Zenith event hall just opposite the hotel. This was during the 2016 UEFA European Championship and, at the time, the whole country was affected by transportation strikes. We were glad to have finally made it to region and the hotel. We flew in and therefore took a taxi to the hotel. If you are travelling by car, it should be easy to find the hotel. The property is located just off the A75 on an elevated mound. The reception staff were really welcoming and check-in went smoothly. The first thing I noticed were the beautiful views to the back of the hotel. Walking past the breakfast tables, I walked out onto a lovely open patio. The view was stunning with volcanoes everywhere. There was also a soothing water feature. Away from the main road, this side of the hotel all of sudden offered a real taster of Auvergne's beauty. OK - It was sunny and great weather, not sure if you would get the same impression in the rain of course... but anyhow. Staff were helpful and served us two fresh pints from the bar. There we were then lounging outside in the sunshine enjoying a beverage. We then checked in to our room. The room was perfect for the price we paid. Very clean and modern, providing higher standards than what we would have expected from a typical 3-star hotel. The hotel's location just outside Clermont-Ferrand obviously means that it does not lend itself to those travellers visiting the city without car (although we used local taxis and they were fine). But the hotel has something unique about it, which has to be mentioned. All in all, we loved staying at this hotel and can only recommend it to those 'on-the-go' or those going to a local concert without their own car:) less

We only stayed for one night on our way north. Hotel is located in a rural setting. Views are of lovely fields. Our room unfortunately was next to the lift so was quite noisy. Upon entering it was extremely hot as the sun was blasting in. The air con was hard to turn on. You had to turn down the temperature to get it to work. The hotel turns off the air con during the night so made the room stuffy and warm. We had a twin bedded room and the beds were very small. There was a little fridge in the room and a safe. The bathroom was clean with a separate toilet. Breakfast was quite good and you could even squeeze your own orange juice. The ladies on the reception were friendly and efficient. Owing to roadworks it was a nightmare to get to. We ate dinner at the hotel and I was not impressed with my beef. Undercooked and tough. I asked for medium to well done. My husband ended up eating mine as he likes his meat 'mooing'! I would recommend this hotel as it is reasonably priced and a good stopover. Parking is secure and straight out front. less
