Hotel de Paris

Location good. Nice old building, only stayed one night.

Booking.Com told us check in was from 2pm. We drove from Bruges, 3hrs, to Charleville arriving at 2.30PM to find the hotel closed, in darkness, no answer, no sign of life. Waited outside for 40 minutes, still no sign of any activity, felt like driving off. Found another hotel that was open so went in and asked. They said November 1st was a public holiday and nothing would open till 4pm. At least we knew now. That hotel phoned the first one and we were told someone would open up at 4pm. Sure enough a man opened up, not much conversation and we were given a room right at the top of the hotel. No mention of the private parking space I had reserved but as it was a public holiday I parked outside.
