Top 10 Athanor Hotels

We stayed at the Park Hotel for 2 nights in early October 2021. The propoerty is well located just a few minutes walk from the historic center and on a nice park. The building looks like a condominium of apartments from the 40-50s in which the hotel was built. Lobby, common areas and dining room are very well furnished with a pleasant classic-modern theme. Our classic room was quite spacious and very comfortable and well equipped with a nice bathroom and free minibar (water and 1 coke), as well as a coffee / tea maker. Really rich and abundant breakfast for every taste. Staff is really kind, always available and took really good care of our requests with great professionalism both before and during our stay. Overall a great stay.

The hotel is located right beside the Grenoble train station in what could be considered as a business district. Surrounding the hotel are a range of offices such as the World Trade Centre and the School of Management. The main centre or more touristic area is a pleasant 10-15 stroll away or indeed you can take the tram. There are a few restaurants and convenience stores located within 5 minute walk. The entrance to the hotel is a little unassuming However upon entry you are greeted with a modern lobby. There is a nice seating area for meeting or enjoying a drink from the bar. This then expands to a restaurant area which gets good reviews and then further to the breakfast area. The fixtures and fittings are to a high standard and have a semi luxurious feel. The check-in was professional however a wait was needed until the room was ready even though it was already 2pm. The room was quite a contrast to the modern plush interior of the lobby. It felt a little dated and showed the signs of aging. The carpet and sofa stained, the curtains ripped, the table edging peeling. The decor of the room appeared a little drab. The room was a privilege room and was spacious with a large double bed (two singles zipped) sofa, desk, chair and lounge chair. It was equipped with a mini bar with complimentary drinks and a coffee pod machine (limescale in the water tank) and large screen TV. The bathroom was split into a separate shower and WC - handy for families I'm sure but not hygienic to have two doors between the toilet and sink. The worst element of this room was that it was located opposite the lift. The lift chimed not only when it landed on that floor, but also it seemed everytime it was used, that could only account for it chiming at least twice a minute in peak times and was loud enough for me to try and put pillows at the door to soundproof it somewhat. The room also didn't get cleaned in the three day stay when I left it empty each morning. Upon return after lunch I requested from the cleaner to at least replenish the tea/coffee but she never returned. Overall, this is a pleasant hotel and good value for money. However my opinion is that it is not up to the standard of other 4 star Novotels in France.

Found the hotel quite easy, but had to park across the road in a tight fitting public car park. Baggage had to be hauled over a busy road to the hotel. 17€ for a 24h car park- one time entry only. Critical points Room was cold as air con failed to work overnight - seems to have a timetable of its own. Regardless how cold it was. Room was also dark and in need of an upkeep. Headboard of the bed was badly wasted away and should be changed by now.. Dinner was cold platter only, and mainly vegetarian. Service a little slow. The advice at concierge was not very helpful in finding a restaurant nearby. Price / quality ratio under par. Having said that the corner room was spacious, although no wardrobe - just a hanger.

This hotel is nothing like it’s portrayal or pictures. The rooms are small and cramped with no amenities and no surface to put anything down. I had to continually put my bag on the bed and the cleaning staff took my power cord and electric converter The desk staff was helpful and friendly but there is barely room to change your mind let alone your clothes. The shower shoots across the whole bathroom and the button allowing a less powerful rain bird spray was jammed so the handheld unit which could sand a building was all we could use and the whole room and our stuff took the brunt.

We stayed two nights at this Ibis Styles during our Christmas trip to Grenoble, while stopover here on route to Les Deux Alpes, arriving on 24th and leaving on 26th December 2022. The hotel is perfectly located near bus/ train station and it is also not very far (within walking distance) from old town and cable car station. If you are arriving from Grenoble airport, you are 10-15 minutes walk from the bus station to this hotel. The receptionists were very friendly and helpful and offered good advice on local French restaurants. There is a Carrefour supermarket next to the hotel (convenient for you to get drinking water). The hotel has free tea and coffee and pastries in the lobby and a kids' corner. The room given to us was family room (double bed with a sofa bed), but there was no kettle in the room to make tea/ coffee. The bathroom has a powerful shower, but they did not clean the room everyday. The room was a bit too warm for us and we needed to open the window to let in fresh air. Our rate included buffet breakfast. The breakfast was plain and simple without any hot foods. However, the fresh orange juice and yogurt were nice. Definitely, breakfast offering could be improved.

I stayed in this hotel and enjoyed the facilities very quiet , Nice location and breakfast ….. We loved the enthusiastic of the staff specially the housekeeping Lady her name is AICHA. Was super excellent very friendly and helpful .. will stay again and again in this place

The hotel is on the west side of Grenoble Railway Station. The train station can go directly and you can walk there in a few minutes. The mountain can be seen outside the window of the room, which is very interesting.

I booked this place because it is close to my friend's house, which is good overall. The room is a normal size in Europe, with complete facilities, and the service staff is kind and polite, and will stay again next time.
