Nice hotel. Modern and clean. Room size is typical to most rooms in France. Well situated within…read morewalking distance to Place Jaude. Nice morning breakfast with fresh options. Unfortunately the coffee machine uses powdered milk. The breakfast room has large windows looking out on a yard. There are a couple of particularities. If you wish to iron your clothes, you'll have to go to a common room on the second floor. They have a jacuzzi in the "wellness" room in the gym behind the bar. Driving up to the entrance could be complicated with a tiny driveway well disguised to your right. There are meeting rooms and restaurant. Halfway through writing this review I changed it up to a 4 star when I realized they have many positive points. Breakfast, after four nights here I can give a well researched opinion. The menu doesn't change as with many buffet breakfasts. Bacon and powdered eggs are the standard offerings to American travelers. The local options are pastries and soft boiled eggs, charcuteries cheeses. Fresh and dried fruits accompany the various baguettes

We had various events at this hotel, which was a family dinner pre-wedding and a post-wedding…read morebrunch for all our guests. My in-laws also got us a suite here for two nights during our wedding. I had to get past the strange name of this hotel, Oceania, considering that we are in CF, which is hours away from any ocean. Once I did, this place was excellent. It is very conveniently located near the train, and 2 minutes walk from Place de Jaude. They gave us a pre-selected menu for our family dinner, which made it easy for our family to select their meals. And the service was very personalized. The food was incredibly delicious. They even brought us GF desserts since my sis-in-law is also GF. The brunch was out-of-control! There was soooooo much food and it was delicious. They even brought a separate basket for GF pastries. Yes - pastries!! And not just weird, boring sliced bread, which is usually what happens when you have GF brunch requests. The suite was soooo nice! It was huge. There were 2 full bathrooms. One with a spa tub! Unfortunately, the tub was not used because we were always running around doing something. But I really wished I had access to it a few days later after a day of snowboarding. lol. Excellent place for almost anything you need.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our day trip to Clermont-Ferrand. The receptionists were not…read moreexactly friendly nor warm and inviting. It felt like we were bothering them when requesting taxis and general information (even when speaking to them in French). The room itself was not too bad for the price. It is about a 10-15 minute walk from the area with shops and restaurants by the Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, and about a 20 minute taxi ride to the Puy-de-Dôme.
