Business trip to Valenciennes: where to stay near the train station
Whether it's a one-day assignment, a week-long work camp, or a month-long training course, the need is the same: a hotel that's easy to find, close to trains, with parking, and a place to eat without having to go out again. The Clémenceau Hotel, located at 39 rue du Rempart in Valenciennes, meets all four requirements. Here's what you need to know before booking.
2 minutes from the train station: arrive without a car
Valenciennes train station is 500 meters from the hotel, a 2-minute walk. For travel from Lille or Paris, this is the easiest point: no taxi, no shuttle, just get off the train and walk to Rue du Rempart.
The city center is the same distance away in the other direction. Place d'Armes, shops, and restaurants are all within walking distance, saving you the need to take a car in the evening. For those planning to explore the region, the tourism and access page provides detailed information: Lille is 50 km away, and Mons is less than 35 minutes away.
The two nearest airports are Lille-Lesquin at 45 km and Charleroi Brussels South at 80 km. Exact distances and directions are available on the contact page.
Secure parking, rooms and apartment
By car: Secure parking for €10 per night. Parking in Valenciennes city center in the evening is the first problem when traveling by car. The hotel offers secure parking, by reservation, for €10 per night. Please request this when booking, as the number of spaces is limited. For those arriving by bicycle, a bicycle garage is available for €5 per night, same principle. This feature distinguishes the hotel from establishments on the outskirts of town: here, the parking is in the city center, next to the train station, eliminating the need for an additional trip in the morning.
Single room for one night, apartment for a longer stay. For one or two nights, the single room is 12 m² with a 120 x 190 cm bed, a private bathroom with shower, a desk, storage space, and a television. For two people or a more comfortable stay, the double room is 16 to 22 m², with a 140 or 160 cm bed.
A 25 m² double room with an accessible bathroom is available for guests with reduced mobility. For stays of several weeks, the 30 m² apartment, located directly across from the hotel, includes a bedroom, a living room with a sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and a bathroom. It accommodates up to four people and provides access to all hotel services. In all cases, Wi-Fi is free, luggage storage is available before arrival or after departure, and a safe is available at reception.Dining in and what you need to know
