Novotel Grenoble Centre
Everything is ok, clean room, good breakfast, friendly staff. However the hotel is really impersonal, the room is convenient that's all, no charm.

Lovely reception

Aparthotel Adagio Grenoble Centre
The area around the hotel is not the nicest, i had some reluctance to go out at night. It's near the stations, but that's the only plus. Actual hotel was pretty nice, but feels like you're in the middle of a hostile zone.
