Hotel de la paix

A great no frills hotel centrally located in Albert. Staff don’t speak English - worth considering if you don’t have any French.

Not a very friendly welcome and hotel in serious need of refurbishment. The toilet was inadequate (it was plugged into the wall and electric) and the shower head was fitted about 3 feet high, meaning difficult to wash face and hair. The bar was small and very expensive. Overall, I would avoid staying in Albert if on a trip to the Somme battlefields, the town has made limited effort to accommodate or make visitors welcome. I would recommend visiting the battlefields and then moving on to Ypres, which is an entirely different and welcoming experience.

Nice hotel in Albert

The plumbing was alarming and the entrance to the shower was built for very slim people.

I have stayed here before but sadly this visit was not great. The sheets were uncomfortable and of the 8 lightbulbs in the room, 4 needed replacement. A shame really

It was a cute little hotel, but an older one. The beds were a little lumpy but not bad for a night. There was a nice little bar to get a drink and the breakfast was typical European fare. We didn't eat in the restaurant but it looked to be pretty busy with locals. The staff didn't speak much English so Google Translate came in handy!

The restaurant on site was nice, the staff were very helpful.

Old tired poor facilities. It wasn't expensive and near to town centre but then the town centre is pretty depressing

It's an old building so I can live with the creaky floors and poor sound insulation. However, the room smelled like an ashtray and bathroom was in a cupboard sized space - a plastic unit that had been wedged in the corner which you couldn't turn around in. The staff were friendly enough but the proprietor is miserable and rude (this is the second time I've been here and that's consistent with last time); he makes arriving a leaving a tense, joyless experience. I will only stay at de la Paix as a last resort, when everything else is full. Unfortunately, especially at weekends, Albert doesn't have enough accommodation for all the visitors who wish to come here.

Functional hotel if a little tired and basic.
