Really enjoyed are overnight stay, the room was a excellent size with good beds and a lovely hot shower, just what we needed. Good Parking. Our evening meal was good apart from my main course being a bit too salty but that is personal choice. Excellent Breakfast and everywhere was nice and warm on a cold damp winter night. Would stay again anytime.

We have used this hotel four times now as a stopover en route to the U.K. It is perfectly placed being a couple of hours from Calais after driving up through Europe. It has a very good restaurant, comfortable rooms, and safe in that you cam park your car right outside your room. Food is very good and there’s a fixed price menu at €34 for four courses. It is conveniently placed being five minutes from the motorway. My only negative comment is that the decor in the rooms is a little dated but for a short stay it is perfect for our needs.

Getting very tired
Stayed here many times but think this will be the last time. Rooms getting very tired, main hotel building has been updated somewhat but other hotels for a similar price are more modern with better facilities.

We had a very nice stay but restaurant was not open on Sunday so had to try and find somewhere to eat in town which is a short drive. I didn't realise this when booking but otherwise would highly recommended.

Convenient for a stopover.
Small hotel/motel around 2 hours from Calais and just off the main route to Reims. Clean, basic place but with everything you need for a quick stopover. Pet friendly too. There is a restaurant although it was closed by the time we arrived. Decent breakfast and very friendly service. Recommended.

Good for an overnight stopover
Perfectly acceptable for an overnight stop. 2 hrs drive from the channel tunnel so it was good place to break our journey to Strasbourg. It’s a French provincial hotel rather than something a little more comfortable/mainstream like a Holiday Inn Express. Clean and functional rather than plush. There’s plenty of free parking and there were always lots of empty bays. Nobody parked next to us. The accommodation is at the rear of the property and the room doors open onto a covered walkway in the open air ie they don’t open onto an internal corridor so it’s a motel style property. We parked a few metres away from our door. The rooms were large and clean and they had electric blinds on the windows which gave a total black out effect when sleeping. Overnight, there was no noise from next door or from outside. The chap that checked us in didn’t speak a word of English but we managed to check-in OK. We were a little concerned as to how easy it would be to use the restaurant given the language barrier but in the event all was fine. The restaurant was spacious and it wasn’t overly busy. I got the feeling that many of the customers were just passing through like we were. Our meal was very nice. You can view the restaurant menu/prices via the hotel’s website and we found this very useful. The only slight gripe was the cost of breakfast. It was 11 euros per person and I would have expected more of a selection for that price. Overall, we'd stay here again.

A large motel type room with comfortable bed and modern bathroom with separate WC. This was our first stay, having stopped several times over the years for lunch en route to the ferry. The dinner more than lived up to expectations. Well worth stopping for the night and within about a mile of the A26 and the St Quentin north junction.

I found this hotel to be over priced for what it is, I have paid half for twice as good, it is situated on the main road which is kept a secret until you arrive. I am disabled and had requested disabled facilities....I was given a room with a bath, I challenged the reception who claimed it was suitable for myself ! I was not at all impressed with this hotel.

Citotel Le Pot D'etain - great food on offer
The Citotel Le Pot D'etain is a charming hotel within good reach of the French motorway network. We used this as an overnight stop on a trip across France and found the rooms to be rather basic, but clean and comfortable with a nice small patio area. There is plenty of parking with 1 parking space allocated per room and the rooms at the back of the help are quiet and well insulated from any traffic noise. We had an evening meal at the hotel sat outside which was enjoyable and whuilst the service was slow, the food served was very good. The menu was a little limited in terms of the number of dishes available, but the range was good and all 4 members enjoyed the dining experience. For what we needed as an overnight stop, then the hotel served our purposes well

Overnight stay on our journey to Lyon
First impressions were encouraging. Especially when I clocked the roaring wood fire in the corner. The smells and warmth were very welcoming. After a brief exchange of hand signals and poorly pronounced French, the gentleman on reception issued our keys for room 25 and off we went. The hotel is arranged in a motel sort of way whereby you drive or walk around the outside of the building to find your room and adjacent parking space. The room itself turned out to be a disabled friendly room that proved to be perfect for my 84 yr old Mum. I had mentioned when booking that she was a little infirm and would prefer a ground floor room where possible. Nice to see that they had given the room choice some thought. The room itself was very pleasant and warm on our arrival. A little too warm when it came to sleeping. I probably could have switched the heating off had I taken a closer look at the controls. Too lazy and tired after my drive from Chester in the UK! By the time we were ready to eat, it was too late to attempt exploring one of Saint-Quentin's local restaurants so we elected to eat at the hotel. While the prices were a tad expensive for our needs that evening, it's safe to say that the portions and quality were off the scale! With drinks and three main courses, our bill came to approximately €100. My Silrloin was massive and cooked to perfection with delicious chips. My wife's beef was also beautifully cooked as was my Mum's salmon. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Excellent Stopover
Excellent location for a stopover. For some years we stopped in the centre of St Quentin but are now converts to Le Pot D'etain. The evening meal in particular has always proved good.

Good food - pity about the beds !
So this was a Friday one night stay before catching an early morning Ferry. On arrival the sole female staff member was fantastic, friendly and helpful. Apart from one gentleman at the bar we were the only ones in this very large motel. We both had a steak which was huge and very much great value for money. But really that's where it all stopped. The room was fine but you stay at a hotel, and this one was EUR88 per night for a good bed. The spring bed gave us both a sore back and I never suffer from such a condition. I would hope the owner sleeps in these beds from time to time just to see what he offers his paying customers. Without wanting to put everything in a bad light, this hotel was clean, friendly and plenty of open space and free parking. The food and service was great but the most important element to any motel / hotel stay was missing - a good night sleep on a decent bed. I would definitely eat here again but would choose somewhere else to lay my tired head.
