Guests find that this hotel makes a good stopover if you're passing through the area on a long roadtrip. There's plenty of free, onsite parking, so you don't have to worry about where to leave the car, and guests say that it offers great value for money.
Rooms are comfortable and quiet overall, and most guests seem to enjoy a decent night's sleep. The rooms are straightforward, but offer plenty of space, and the beds seem to be comfy. Since the hotel is set back from the road, noise shouldn't be an issue either.
Most guests seem to enjoy breakfast, which they say is a varied, continental selection. It's a bit of extra money on top of the cost of the room, but if you're just overnighting here and have a day of travelling ahead of you, like many guests, it's the perfect thing to get you going.
Balladins Arras is a somewhat ageing hotel, and guests say that it's in need of refurbishment, since the décor and furnishings are a bit dated and worn. Don't expect too many frills in the rooms either - you won't find tea/coffee making facilities, for example.
The bathrooms are also in need of an overhaul, according to guests. Some of the bathrooms seem to suffer from damp and mould, while other guests say that some of the fixtures and fittings need replacing, so you'll just have to try your luck.
The provision of evening meals seems fairly erratic, according to guests, and may not be available every day. This can be an inconvenience, since if you turn up tired and hungry, you'll have to drive around to find another place to eat.
