Hôtel Le Commerce

Yonne


Smack in the centre of town, this former relais de poste (coaching inn) with its on-site restaurant is a dependable budget option, although the limited reception hours (5pm to 9pm Monday through Saturday) are inconvenient. Check out the quirkily decorated theme rooms, including the 'Africa' (room 12) and the 'Cow' (room 26). Parking and breakfast cost €7 and €7.50, respectively.
