The rooms were comfortable, and there's a pool, though it was closed during our visit. Sometimes a cat keeps watch over it. This hotel has loads of atmosphere and history, right in the centre of Valence, which makes it handy for a visit or an overnight stop. You can book secure parking in advance, and there's an electric car charger too. Just know there's no lift: the rooms are reached by a stone spiral staircase, like in an old stately home. The shower and sink are in a separate room from the toilet. That's common in France, but visitors from elsewhere might find it odd.
