JonasSmall, clean, efficient rooms. Noise was a major issue as rooms have no noise insulation to stop sounds from hallways. We could hear conversations in the hallway crystal clearly and we lost sleep over this until all…
FabriceHôtel à éviter, pas d'eau.
Je ne recommande pas cet hôtel, nous n'avons pas eu d'eau pendant 24h. Nous avons dû quitter cet hôtel et en trouver un autre en urgence afin de ne pas passer une seconde nuit sans eau.

Questions about Hotel Principal
Does Hotel Principal allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is breakfast included at Hotel Principal?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Hotel Principal have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Hotel Principal have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Hotel Principal?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
