With a fantastic, friendly and helpful host, we knew we were off to a good start. We didn't have long here, and to best take advantage, we had to venture out promptly to have a walk through the town. Our accommodation in room #5 was clean, spacious, homely and welcoming. We were lucky enough to be appointed a room with... More

A lot of pricier, pretentious UK hotels would benefit from taking a few leaves out of the book of these, small, family run town/city hotels in France. As a rule they are spotlessly clean, conveniently located with extremely pleasant and helpful staff - the St Joseph is no exception. Centrally located and full of character, this hotel is exceptional value... More

We spend a very nice weekend in this hotel! It's clean and light!

Two night stay: I received a very warm welcome from the owner, a major fan of the Clermont-Ferrand rugby team (which he told me several times had just won the French championship :) and a nice, light and airy room on the first floor at the front with a small functional shower room (walls VERY thin!). I slept OK and... More

The little hotel is convenient to the train station & a good walk from Place de Jaude. I stayed with my wife and 2 daughters in a suite for 4 with toilette in room. We loved the simple yet very clean rooms, the hospitality of owner is what makes this a special place. We don't speak much French so communication... More

It was our first time in France and this place. Hotel is situated at a great location at very central of the town. It is simply very good for everything. Friendly people always try their best. Room is not too big but clean. Overall , it is a good choice so far!

Although the St Joseph has seen better days we had a good night's sleep, quiet, and a good continental breakfast afterwards. The staff were friendly and helpful, particularly in suggesting a good restaurant for dinner (it was good). The room was clean but the description of "courtyard" was confusing - it was more a space between the various parts of... More

Very comfortable and superb value. The proprietor was very helpful over the phone when I called to say we would arrive rather late. The superior double room was spotless and comfortable, although my partner wished for a firmer pillow. Continental breakfast was fine, again simple but fresh and nicely presented in the bar. The hotel is opposite a produce market... More

This is a small family run hotel/guest house of the traditional type found in larger French towns. No airs and graces, just clean, inexpensive and friendly. Le patron tries very hard, with limited, but adequate English, and is very helpful. 5 minutes walk from town centre this is an ideal budget stop-over.
