Le Royal Picardie

The hotel's prime location near Albert allows easy exploration of the Somme area. Guests appreciate the excellent service, cleanliness, and modern amenities, including a large bar and cozy rooms.

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay at this hotel. The bedroom was comfortable and cleaned daily. There was a separate bathroom and toilet. Great powerful hairdryer and nice shower including lovely smelling shower gel. Coffee and tea making facilities, although very mean with the milk and for some reason didn’t replenish breakfast tea so I had to ask for this. Breakfast was a bit surreal. On our first day we came down at 9:00 am, there were no plates, breakfast teabags, no milk, no croissants (which we had to ask for), we were not made aware that we could ask for eggs and bacon, and I only realised this was an option after reading the reviews on here. Service was very discreet and was literally do it yourself, which is fine but I think service could be improved in this area. All the items missing were replaced on asking, when I eventually found someone to ask. Nice lounge area and general decor overall good. Lots of parking. Not particularly disabled friendly, no lift to our room and my husband was using crutches so not ideal. I’d suggest the hotel might need to consider accessibility options. Albert has some decent restaurants and it is excellently located for visiting the Somme.

Reception friendly and helpful (Isabelle). Convenient as it has free secure parking but it is a bit of a walk into Albert - 15 minutes and not the most scenic. The room was a decent size. The breakfast was a let down. Limited choice and uninspiring. It’s a shame as it has the foundations to be a great place.
