Lovely size room and nice decor and bathroom area. The reception and downstair area was quirky and the garage underneath was great. We did worry our car with a roofbox wouldn't fit but it just did. The breakfast was delicious and the view was spectacular with the cathedral and Puy de Dome in the background. Location great for the cathedral and restuarants at the main square and also for getting into and out of CF. Overall, very happy to have stayed here. Staff were also excellent!

Nothing much. Perhaps the price for parking was a bit steep but then you pay for convenience and it was definitely convenient. I'm not sure tere's anything else I'd pick up on. Might have been nice if they served dinner in the restaurant upstairs, especially with the amazing view.

I had a wonderful stay at the Hôtel Littéraire Alexandre Vialatte. The location is unbeatable—just a quick 5-minute walk to the historical center, making it easy to explore the city's rich history and culture. Although the room was on the smaller side, it was incredibly comfortable and provided great value for the price. The service was exceptional; the staff were attentive, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure a pleasant experience. If you're looking for a hotel that combines convenience, comfort, and excellent service, this is definitely the place to stay.

No body lotion available

I booked the room short notice and we arrived at half past eight. The receptionist was immediately aware of the booking and explained where we could park the car. We got a nice family room on the 4th floor and the additional bed for our daugther was already prepared. We liked the view and little balcony, also the furniture in the room was smart and light. The reference to Kafka and his novels for the rooms was fun, as was the information on Alexandre Vialette in the room. Unfortunatley we did not have time to enjoy breakfast on the 6th floor (breakfast room looked beautiful) as we were in a rush the next morning. Well, it seems we have to come back. ;-) PS. Big thank you to the team for sending a forgotten mobile phone to us.

We would have liked a minibar in the room.

Convenient for the centre with its restaurants and bars. The hotel itself was better than we expected it to be for the price. The hotel was comfortable but the bed in our room had a little "usage" dip in it but was comfortable enough, comfy pillows! No milk in the room with the tea and coffee refreshments but in hind site, I could have just asked. Great view from the breakfast room and a pretty good buffet breakfast but hot options were limited.

There are a few City Centre road works going on and so we had a small diversion. On entering the underground car park, the underneath of my car grazed the pavement as the angle down from the pavement on to the ramp down is quite acute, same happened on the way out. I think the length of car will dictate if this happens but if you are lucky enough to own a Ferrari or Porsche, I think the car will be too low to the ground. Although the room and hotel were very clean, they missed the dust on the extraction fan covers in the toilet and bathroom of our room.

The room was spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was very attentive to every need. The literary theme of the room was beautifully done. It featured a wonderful window overlooking the square, but for the best experience, you must have breakfast on the rooftop. There, you can enjoy a stunning view of the city dominated by the cathedral, as well as the surrounding volcanic mountains. All of this is paired with a truly fantastic breakfast made from high-quality local ingredients.

Friendly, welcoming staff. A sense of ‘this place is trying hard to please’: the curb appeal is… low, but the literary theming, the staff, the comfort of the room, the quality of the breakfast all more than make up for this initial impression. Good location - a short walk to the cathedral, and very close to the Basilica of Notre Dame du Port. I recommend this hotel for an overnight stop in Clermont Ferrand. Parking in the underground carpark was a welcome bonus!I

External appearance. But never judge a book by its cover!

Breakfast was lovely, you have it on the top floor of the hotel and has a lovely view of the area, great choice of food to eat, bed was comfy, secure parking was really good... Lovely friendly staff, very smiley and very helpful...

I think it's a university town as it was very noisy outside around the town with people shouting and chanting a lot of the night till about two o clock, but it was a Saturday night and maybe it's quiet the other nights of the week...

- Localisation. Very close to the city center. - Panorama view (Cathedral / Puy de Dôme) + petit balcony (5th floor) - Professional & very nice hotel staffs + good service. - Breakfast at Terrace (6th floor)

- Understood city centre localisation, but the parking entry to underground was bit narrow. Obliged to hold side mirrors (w/ middle-size SUV) - Only 1 elevator. Nice to have 2. We waited a bit.

The room is very suitable for a family trip and the hotel has an atmosphere of literature since it’s named by an author, we like the stay there.

The parking underground has very limited space for each car and it’s so hard to go down to -2 floor to park since it’s narrow everywhere.

I liked the literary theme to this hotel; it's a shame that I was only there for one night, so was unable to read much of the books left in the room. The view from the room was spectacular, out towards the cathedral and Puy de Dome. The breakfast room was one floor higher so shared the view. The bed was comfortable and the shower was fine.

Nothing.
