Premiere Classe Bourges (6 kms du centre-ville) in Bourges

This place is a scam. We booked a room at this 'hotel' for 61 euros. As soon as we had booked we received a confirmation for EUR 94! There was nothing on the website indicating this price before booking. It is impossible to reach anyone there. We cancelled our stay and stayed instead at the Hotel F1 for 45 euros.

There is nothing Premier Classe at this dump! It looks run down from the outside, and I had a bigger, better bathroom in a camper van in New Zealand. The bed is like a plank of wood, and it was stained and dirty. But it was cheap. That is all I can say for it.

OK but out of hours check-in problematic
Machine for checking-in recognised booking but was showing error with transaction. Had to call a number and make the transaction at desk manually. Hotel basic but adequate close to motorways.

Bad - even for budget options…
Stayed in 4 budget hotels around france for two weeks. This one is the only one that disappointed. Avoid it.

- Receptionist took money twice for the same reservation.
- Only way to ask for refund is to fill out a form in french to ask for the second payment back. Form requires you to write your card details down and leave it with them. Highly unsecure and easy to steal. Reception in normal hotels can handle payback - this one is the exception.
- Spider webs and mice in areas you walk through. Got a spider web on my face in the dark (not lit property).
- Room was very cold. Estimating it to be around 5-10 celsius.
- No sound isolation. Could hear footsteps of other guests outside as if they were in the room (freaky to wake up in the middle of the night to that). Motorway was clearly audible all night.

Cheap, but not cheerful
traveling on my own l wasnt too fussy, however choosing this hotel was a mistake, it was cheap but certainly not cheerful. clean enough, sheets nice n crisp and clean, bed cover had a foisty smell to it, bed itself certainly not comfortable. shower/bathroom was a joke, l am not a large person (thankfully) but couldnt turn around in that extremely small shower enclosure, just stupid! Advertised free wi-fi, what wi-fi it was pathetic, who do they think there trying to con! certainly wouldnt stay there again!

The desk lamp not working.
The bathroom/WC switch hanging outside its housing.
Poor contact concerning the bedroom ceiling light.
The floor of very questionable cleanliness with stains.
