Enzo Hotels Reims Tinqueux by Kyriad Direct

They were really helpful when I turned up soaked from riding my motorbike. They let me check in two hours early, and staff let me keep the bike inside the dining area overnight so it would be more secure. The heater in the room was very good and dried my clothes while keeping me warm. A much appreciated stop on my first leg into France, and it's in a nice town. I'd recommend it.

A good EV charger on site, and the staff were friendly. Reception speaks very little English, so you'll need your French. The hotel is very basic, but it was clean and warm, just right for a night while travelling on to somewhere else.

The room itself was excellent and the bed was comfortable, with a perfect shower. The shower room was a major drawback, though. The toilet area was at least 20 cm narrower, and at 6'3 and being a big lad, I found it much too cramped. On arrival reception was empty, which was fine, but it wasn't clear how to get in. Someone working there was no help at all, and good manners cost nothing. They're also planning a congestion zone very close to the hotel. I couldn't tell whether the hotel is inside or outside it, or if reaching it means driving through and paying the extra charge, so check before booking.

At €60 it covered what we needed for a quick overnight stop. The room was compact, but the shower was spacious with plenty of pressure. Parking felt safe and secure, it was very quiet, and the front desk helped us arrange pizza delivery. The Wi-Fi didn't seem to work, which was disappointing.
