This is not an hotel - it's a few scruffy rooms above a Japanese Sushi restaurant. We arrived 25 minutes earlier than the check-in time and were basically told to push off and come back later. When we did return, they had the cheek to demand payment up front - before showing us our room. The room was dingy with no tea/coffee making facilities - and noisy! It was hard to get any sleep what with banging doors, squeaking bed springs from the adjacent room and loud voices from the restaurant ( using the term generously ) until late at night. Reception was not manned at any time that we saw - staff from the restaurant doubled up to cover it. (If there had been someone around to complain to when we walked out we would have asked for a refund). We were told by a local resident that the hotel had changed ownership recently which may be why some reviews on here are more sympathetic. Would we stay at Le Richelieu again? Not even for free.
