Location of the hotel: centre, hotel is located on a busy street, room was tiny, bed awful (very narrow, a mattress was very soft you sink into and within its own borders falls, a hard head/neck role for two people), overlooking the inner courtyard but dreadful therefor no street noise, good: about 500 meters away in spot (I believe, there were 11, -€ for 24 hour) Read more

Our room (no air conditioning) Small had a smelly carpet and very dusty curtains. The mattress of our folding bed was very worn out and the sheets had stains! The bathroom was old and moldy! As our room was situated on the street side and it was with the windows closed it was not bearable (heat and very musty smell) we had to open the window at night, what us a sleepless night complaint was inevitable, since the tram was very loud and the street were very many young people sat and drank. All in all, we will never go back to this hotel! Read more

Just few stars ... Bathroom is a little bit old and dingy. The front desk was extremely friendly and helpful. The colleague at checkout the opposite ... Incredibly rude! Room a bit musty. 60 He until 70 's jahrechic. It is affordable and for a night out ... But please no longer! Read more

The hotel du Helder is a really good 2 -star hotel! It is clean, the rooms are nicely decorated and the breakfast buffet was rich. The breakfast room is large, bright and cheerful. I have stayed other two- and 3 -star hotel in France, seen much worse. The only downside to the hotel du helder is its location: The rue de marseille resembles a ghetto at night. During the daylight hours it is not a problem. Read more
