The hotel is in a great location close to all the shops and restaurants. We appreciated being able to store our bags at the hotel prior to check in and having the bags delivered to our room was a nice touch.
The mini bar fridge is useful.

Staff was very nice. Room was also nicely appointed but had a dank, musty smell even though all the furnishings appeared new.

The hotel was clean and quite comfortable. However, the bathroom had poor ventilation and insufficient coffee was provided. The air conditioning unit had no remote control. In its favour the hotel was in an excellent location and very central.

Good comfortable and well-located
Very well located. Only disappointment was that the hotel car park was full. If the website had made clear that this needed to be booked, I would have done so. As it was I had to lug heavy bags quite a distance with no offer of help. On the plus side, breakfast was excellent

Arrived Sunday afternoon, all lights in reception were off and felt very unwelcoming. No heating in room was very cold. Was told would turn thermostat up but made no difference. Radiators cool, room cold. Unpleasant damp smell in bathroom.

Excellent emplacement en olein dans le centre de Saintes. 5 minutes en voiture de la gare et de la place pour se garer aux alentours gratuitement le weekend. Accueil plus que top, personnel souriant et à l'écoute. Chambre très calme et literie de très bonne qualité. Petit dej très bien. Nous avons passé un très agréable sejour entre sœurs. Je recommande !

La chambre etait propre et tranquille et les dames a la reception nous avons donne un bon acceuil. Les Messageries est toujours notre hotel de choix quand nous sommes a Saintes en route pour le sud-ouest de la France apres avoir quitte Roscoff. Le petit dejeuner offre des choix varies. Le vieux batiment est a la fois tres interessant et tres beau.
