We travelled all over France, staying in various places, sampling wonderful cuisine and hospitality, until this stay. Thank goodness it was only for one night as it's no where near a town and in the middle of a very noisy industrial estate. Although it is a Best Western establishment, the owner seemed, in our opinion to be quite ignorant to guests unless they were French, which is a shame and definitely not a true representation of French hospitality. In short, avoid.

This hotel is basic but clean. Rooms have little storage and bathroom, especially shower ,is extremely small. The air conditioning is not very effective. Hotel situated on a top of hill , so car I would say is needed to get into town. It's a one way system and hardly any parking. Get their early especially on a Saturday market day. Sarlat is beautiful. Especially the medieval back streets. Lots of restaurants and bars. The staff are extremely friendly. They really are a credit to the hotel chain.

stayed at the hotel (room 7) on 3rd June. Quite simply the hotel provided everything we could have asked for. We are on a touring holiday and the hotel had ample parking the room was light and scrupulously clean. the bed was very comfortable the AC just right and all in all a very good night's sleep. Breakfast was continental with a scrambled egg and bacon option. all very fresh and well prepared. Anyone visiting the area should have a look at this hotel. fully reccomended

Only stayed one night en route to Bergerac. Nice quiet room, clean, comfortable and with A/C. Very pleasant helpful staff. Super breakfast, lots of local foods, great hams. Cheeses, breads, eggs, yoghurts, fruit, nuts and regional walnut cake. It was nice to have breakfast on the terrace. Plenty of free parking and a large super market five minutes away. About a twenty minute walk to the centre of a most delightful medieval town, lots of buskers in the evening, a real buzz. Lots of places to eat and drink.

Stayed at the Altica Sarlat for 7 days during a holiday at the Dordogne. It is a quiet and simple place with really friendly and helpful staff. They also spoke great English. In fact Nicolas, Emilyne and Stephanie were so amazing in helping me find out where I had to catch my return bus, including calling up the helplines and figuring out where it was from and so on! They helped me with guides and maps for the nearby areas, and Nicolas also dropped me to the city of Sarlat as he was driving there and it was raining. They don't have a restaurant but do have a breakfast buffet with eggs, breads, little baked pastry and fruit juices. For dinners, if you want they will heat up for you any sandwich or other ready-to-eat food which you can find at the supermarket right opposite or get from a bakery as you come back to the rooms. Rooms are clean and comfortable, not that small but a bit dimly lit. If you have a car and want to drive around the Dordogne, or plan to see Sarlat on foot, this is a great place to stay. Do call ahead and find out their timings so you can coordinate it to your arrival etc.

I originally rated it lower but then realise it is only a 2 star hotel. The positives - the room was clean, and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful, and it was only a 20 minute walk to the old town which was good as I had no car. The negatives - when you pulled the shower curtain closed it was nearly dark. No WiFi (at least not in room 112). No kettle in your room (although I understand this is common in France!) but also a note forbidding you from even eating in your room! And no one there after 9pm which means if you have a problem you are on your own. Unfortunately the night I stayed there was a power outage in the whole Sarlat area - even the streetlights went out. I was walking back to the hotel and was terrified I would not be able to get in since there is no physical key - just an electronic code to enter, on a system that I imagine would not work with no power! Fortunately the power went back on before I got there but it was a nerve-wracking 10 minutes and I will never again risk staying somewhere with that kind of system.
