The Hôtel des Colombes is perfectly located. It is very close to many historic sites and the Office de Tourisme. Also, the staff are very helpful and friendly.
The lighting in the bathroom was a little dim. Also, there was a faint cigarette smoke smell in the room. This is fairly typical of France.
My experience at Hôtel des Colombes was very positive. The price was right, the staff were friendly, the breakfasts were delicious, and the location was absolutely perfect. Five minutes walk at most from the Cathédrale de Notre Dame de Verdun, le Monument à la Victoire, L'Office de Tourisme, the Quai de Londres, and the famous Porte Chausée. The hotel is also only 200yards/meters or so from the train station. Across the street are two perfect Boulangeries/Patisseries for all the croissants and other tasty treats you could want. My room was just about the right size for one person alone. The facilities, while not fancy, were perfectly adequate. If you're looking for a ritzy experience, this is not the place to go. Everything is a little on the old side and seems well-used. However, the staff keep it all very clean and tidy, and those on a budget will find the hotel the perfect fit for their needs. I highly recommend it.
