Hotel le Port-Neuf is an easy 5 minute walk from the General de Gaulle car park and is in Rue Port-Neuf, which is a narrow pedestrian street in the middle of the old town and one of the most famous. The hotel is a simple, private hotel and bar and the welcome was very friendly. Our superior room (no6) is on the first floor overlooking the street and is spacious and comfortable. To be honest, I book a superior room on the basis that it will usually be larger, and that is certainly the case here. It is however nicely designed and has easy chairs, desk and a nice picture on the wall, and the bathroom is modern and smart. People used to upmarket, modern hotels might decry the lack of a wardrobe and chest of drawers, but we are fine with a shelf and a clothes rail, because that is often what traditional hotels in ancient buildings are like. Obviously the only potential downside re our room being at the front is potential noice from the street later on, but it turned out not to be a problem as far as pedestrians are concerned. I have to say however that we were wakened at about 6 o’clock each morning by the noice of a delivery truck parking just outside the hotel and unloading pallets of goods for the store opposite. We got used to it and didn’t mind too much, but it is something to think about if it would bother you having a front facing room. We elected to have breakfast in the hotel and it is a simple affair but very nice and we enjoyed freshly squeezed orange juice, yogurt, bread and croissants with various jams, and good coffee. We were certainly very comfortable for the three days we were here. We like the traditional style of the hotel and the owner and his wife were charming. Add its central location and nearby parking and this hotel ticked all the boxes for us. We would certainly stay here again and look forward to coming back.
