Of all the non-staffed facilities we've visited over the past few years (and we're not fans of the system) La Tour Grégoire could well serve as an example for others. Communication was flawless, timely mail and text in French and English with friendly, precise and as it turned out correct instructions how to open the front door, the door to the room, etc. Text messages sent by us to confirm our arrival got a prompt and friendly reply. Even our request to leave the luggage behind after checking out until we left the city was immediately followed by a positive answer. So, kudos. Location was easy to find, 15 minutes walk from the train station and in the middle of the city centre. Nice room, impeccably clean. We made no use of the kitchen facilities but they looked adequate, as was the breakfast (some items neatly stored in the fridge, modest portion of coffee by the easy-to-use coffee machine, croissants and bread hung up outside the room door in a small basket in the morning as promised). Room well shut off from outside noise and light. We'd come here again.

Bathroom facilities are a bit inconvenient: a separate toilet just next to the bed, shower room next to the toilet but a washing stand inside the room... Water piping hot, take your time to fine-tune.

Once we actually navigated our way to the property and found the parking, about 200 meters away, we were in for a treat. Super close to the old city square and surrounded in history. If you can manage, leave your big bag in your car and bring what you need in a carry all. The stairs are narrow and you really don't want to carry a 22 kilo bag up to the first or second floor. The breakfast basket was great with the addition of yogurt in the mini fridge you are going to be fine. The fresh rolls and croissants were a treat too.

Call it operator error and my poor translation of French to English. I called to get access the the room, when all I needed to do was read my text message from the management. They were quick to return my call and I apologized for my lack of reading directions carefully. The La Tour did everything as stated.

I think the best word to describe La Tour Grégoire is: charming. We stayed in the ground floor apartment which was light and airy. The facilities were excellent and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was a nice touch.The location was perfect; just a few minutes stroll to the cathedral and the square with its wide choice of restaurants and bars. Parking was available just around the corner. The owner, Hugue, also runs the Il Visconti Italian restaurant and Le Chardonnay. We dined in both and thought the food was exceptional. 10/10.

we liked our room a lot. nicely furnished and spotlessly kept. although the property lies in the heart of town it’s really quiet. it was lovely to have a nice french breakfast ready every morning at 7.30. the communication with the host worked well and we got the necessary information well in time.

this has nothing to do with the property itself rather with the location. there is a car park nearby but we suggest leaving the car there for your stay as the traffic in clermont fd is horrendous. use public transport.

The entry details had been sent to us via email and text. Through no fault of the hotel these were not received so our getting in was not as easy as it should have been. A phone call managed to get the details sorted. Once in we found a lovely good sized ground floor room with more facilities than we needed. Everything worked well, even the breakfast delivery, combined with the milk, butter, yogurt etc in the fridge worked really well. We arrived by car, Un loaded outside then moved it to a local multi-storey car park. ( Cost around E20 for two nights ) We would stay here again.

We had no problems but another couple arriving slightly later had to deal with suitcases on the typical small French spiralling staircase to reach their room upstairs.

What a gem of a place. From the outside, this place looks grubby & a little unwelcoming, which is a shame, because as soon as we stepped into our room, it felt like a little haven of peace and comfort! The perfect size, modern and comfortable. There was milk, orange juice, yoghurts and butter in the fridge. There were coffee pods for the machine. The bed was lovely and big, as was the shower. It was lovely to wake up in the morning, and find a little basket of goodies hung on a hook outside the door, and to be able to sit at the table, enjoying breakfast before exploring. Thanks for the little details!

Nothing…all good!

The quirky room, the decor and the facilities, the breakfast hung on the hook outside the door.

The noise from the building work, and the narrowness of the surrounding streets in terms of vehicular access. The sat nav was useless because so many roads were closed. We were fortunate to meet a local who led us, on foot from where we managed to park, to the property. Otherwise, in the car, we might still have been looking for it. The road closures are a nightmare.

Spacious room full of character and personality. Extremely helpful staff, quick to respond to questions. Good nearby restaurants. Comfortable bed and good bathroom and kitchen facilities. Super clean. Served my purposes well for a convenient overnight stay at the start of a trip.

If it's hot, the window of the nice ground floor room opens out a few meters from the street. The street is wonderfully quiet, but some might wonder about security, though probably not a problem. The 15-minute walk from the station includes rough surfaces and a steady uphill climb, the last stretch beautiful cobblestone, making the walk challenging if laden with luggage and/or pulling a roller bag. Nice basket of pastries is left outside the door for breakfast, but nothing for me matches a large cup of coffee! These are only considerations in a very agreeable room!

Quirky and charming spacious accommodation centrally located near to bars / restaurants etc. no ac but you could get a nice through breeze and there was a fan. Loved the little balcony - perfect to sit on and enjoy and afternoon beer. Easy check in instructions. Very near a secure underground carpark.

Wi fi didn’t work very well

Beautiful period building in the old town. There is everything you need in this stylish comfortable studio. Less than 5 minutes walk from an overnight car park which was very reasonably priced. Although there are lots of bars the area is quiet at bedtime

The curtain is at an odd angle and let in the early morning light
