Grand Hotel Dauphiné

( 2 stars , Toulon , France )

+Good central location and cheerful staff. -Room lighting is not very good. Lift always seems as if it is going to stop.

Nice little hotel My sister and I stayed here and we loved it!! We were especially impressed with the hotel staff--they were very nice and helpful, and spoke great English. The room was nice too, pretty spacious for a Euro hotel. The bathroom was nice and clean, and the room even had a fridge. It was also in a great location, really close to the train station, and not too far from the beach. Highly recommended!

+The hotel is very well situated, in the heart of old Toulon, with good cafes, a market, shops close by and it is also very near to the water front. Parking available. -Nothing. It was great. I would strongly recommend it.

First and foremost, it was very difficult to arrive at the hotel. I used a satnav and with the one way system, it took over an hour to find the street. When I did eventually find it the next problem was how do you pass the bollards,with the help of a wait

+ convenient for shops and restaurants, nice to be in a pedestrian area - bit tricky finding the car park

First and foremost, it was very difficult to arrive at the hotel. I used a satnav and with the one way system, it took over an hour to find the street. When I did eventually find it the next problem was how do you pass the bollards,with the help of a waiter from a nearby restaurant, who pressed the relevant intercom to the hotel to allow us access to pedestrinised area. I am not sure if this was in the description. The staff were very helpful at the hotel. We ate at a small restaurant in the side street adjacent, called La Caleche 15 Rue Corneille, the food was of excellent quality and presented extremely well. For 67 euros we had a 2 course meal, of our choice, Le Carre D'agneau for the main course and a dessert, a good bottle of red wine, water and my husband had a beer. There were set menus as another choice making a meal there much cheaper.

+the location -i was very disappointed. i had stayed there 4 weeks before. this time the room was quite dreadful. the shower hardly worked and i had to hold it in my hand since there was nowhere to hang it on the wall. there was no mini bar either - contrary to what was announced. a major disappointment ... but thx god the hotel gad not moved. so the location was as great as before ... to choose this hotel is a bit risky since the rooms are very different from one another

-There were no drawers, just a few hangers in the wardrobe. The bathroom was modern, but there was no soap dish in the shower, and the shower head did not have a hook, so you had to hold it whilst showering.

+Very good staff, room very clean. -Soundproofing is not very good, but it is an old building.

+very hard to find - it is in pedestrian zone not accessible by car. Need better instructions or map. -WiFi internet can be reached only in the corridor, could not get it in the room.
