Hôtel la Réserve de Brive

The hotel was very pleasant, with a terrace, bar and at the back a breakfast room. The public car park at the front had about eight parking spaces at the side of the hotel reserved for residents. The decor was largely grey, black and white. Sadly, there were tiny chips out of the dark grey woodwork, everywhere. We had a family room, which was all that was available when we booked. It consisted of two bedrooms, a separate toilet between them and a bathroom off one of the bedrooms. The toilet was tiny, very narrow and only about 40cm from door to pan, with no extractor fan. The head-height fitting was loose so that the shower head could not be put in it. Although it took us only a minute to screw this back together, we shouldn’t have had to do this - the issue should have been picked up by cleaners, reported and sorted. The lights had no, or only wire, shades and were much too bright/harsh. A kettle and a small fridge (as we had in other hotels) would have been good. Breakfast at the hotel was 12 euros, with tea/coffee, juice, cereals, bread/pastries and preserves, eggs, charcuterie, cheese, yogurt and fruit.

We stayed for one night during a heatwave. The room had an excellent air conditioner, and the receptionist supplied us with a bottle of chilled water when we arrived. A large, comfortable bed and a well-equipped bathroom, including a decent hair dryer. Very close to the old town, we walked out for an evening meal. Breakfast was great, a wide choice of homemade breads, cakes, pastries and jams. We’d love to stay here again.

Had a lovely one night stay in this charming, small independent hotel in the centre of Brive. A very friendly welcome, a comfortable room and a great breakfast. Our hosts were very helpful with local knowledge and with restaurant recommendations. Highly recommended.

Well located in the centre of Brive with a few free car park spaces. Otherwise it is on-street parking free from 7 pm to 9 am and cheap during the day. You can easily walk to the historical part of Brive which is lovely and mainly pedestrian. There is a market a few meters away which opens early and sells local delicacies. The building has character and the rooms of my mother and mine had both a different layout. There is no lift and the lady at reception carried the suitcase of my mother up the stairs. The staff are professional and super helpful. However, receptionnists sometimes disappear to work elsewhere in the hotel and the wait at reception can be tedious. The rooms are clean and modern, with air con and TV. They miss a small fridge and a kettle. They are quiet despite the central location. The bathrooms need modernising and I kept flooding mine every time I showered. The breakfast room is large with lots of apparent bricks and a big fireplace. The breakfast itself is delicious and worth paying the extra cost.

Hotel en cours de rénovation, les nouvelles chambres sont très bien et très agréable. L'hotel est situé idéalement à proximité immédiate du centre historique, tout en étant au calme ( notre chambre était côté parc ). Personnel accueillant et petit déjeuner simple mais avec des produits frais. Nous recommandons cet hotel

L'hôtel se situé en plein coeur de Brive. La chambre est fonctionnelle même si elle reste de taille réduite (normal pour un trois étoiles). Bon matelas. Beau buffet pour le petit déjeuner (fruits, confitures maison, ...)
