You Hotel de France Valence - Handwritten Collection
Central terrace hotel with suite-style extras
Superb · 51 reviews
About this stay
The large terrace and the suite-level extras, bathrobes, slippers and a coffee machine, give this hotel an apartment-like feel rare for central Valence, where independent apartments are otherwise scarce. Being in the heart of the city keeps groceries, bakeries and restaurants within a short walk rather than a drive, useful for a longer stay, and the free bottle of water and optional baby cot on request cover small but real needs that many hotels overlook. Air conditioning and satellite TV in every room keep things comfortable regardless of the season outside. Guests who value quiet mornings will appreciate the central setting without the through-traffic noise that can affect hotels directly on the A7 corridor further south.

Our take
You Hotel de France is a practical four-star in the centre of Valence: air-conditioned rooms, a large terrace, buffet breakfast included and suites with a coffee machine, bathrobes and slippers. A baby cot is available on request. Its 8.3 rating from 51 reviews is good. I would book a suite for a couple or a family with a small child.
- ✓Request the baby cot in advance rather than on arrival if travelling with an infant
- ✓Use the terrace in the evening rather than heading straight out, since it is one of the hotel's strongest features
- ✓Ask specifically for a suite if the coffee machine and bathrobes matter to your stay

Why guests love itYou Hotel de France is a contemporary four-star hotel in central Valence, and a few details make it easier with a baby: a cot is available on request, and rooms are air-conditioned for warm Drôme summers. The daily buffet breakfast is included, so mornings start without a search for a café. For more space, suites add bathrobes, slippers and a coffee machine. The large terrace gives everyone room to sit outside in the evening.
