Joannas, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes hotel rooms at the Independent

"Incredible pool complex. This is a short walk up the road at the Pierre & Vacances complex. Really easy to access all the great sports facilities. I was worried about this before booking but you really don’t need to be. Recommend the restaurant just above the pool. Gets busy at 8pm but arrive 7:30 and you will get a table no problem. Excellent quality and the kids set menu is good value for money. Thierry the bar man at Sowell was the most welcoming man ever! Room was basic but nice to have the kids bunk beds separate. Kitchen has Nespresso machine, kettle, hobs good fridge/freezer…. But no plates or cutlery, so don’t forget to bring your own. "

"Beautiful relaxing serene place! Highly recommend. The infinity pool was delightful in the hot summer."

"Stayed 3 nights. Staff were excellent. Buffet breakfast was good value and had lots of variety. The evening meals were high quality. The room was spacious and had everything we needed (apart from a kettle). We are travelling by train so we found it very convenient for the bus station. Be aware that there is no food Sunday evening, but McDonald's is across the road. Will certainly stay in Ibis again."

"Tired expensive and remote"

"Loved the building and the plunge pool. Only two restaurants within walking distance, and the pillows probably need updating."
