First, the Hotel Chris'tel's location is excellent if you're touring Le Puy on Velay's old city streets, a short, pleasant walk away. You can walk through a nice park or straight down the street five minutes and you're there. The staff are very helpful with answers to any question you have. For us, it was necessary to change rooms because the TV in the first didn't work. All of this was accomplished quickly and easily. Our only challenge was the fact that we arrived in intense heat, and while the hotel staff supplied us with a fan on request, we were longing for air conditioning.
