Amiens, the capital of the Somme department, has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, with its strategic location at the confluence of the Somme and Saint-Georges rivers making it a key trading hub in the Middle Ages. The city's stunning Gothic cathedral, Notre-Dame d'Amiens, is one of the largest in France and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Over the centuries, Amiens has played a significant role in various conflicts, including World War I, and its history is still palpable in the city's architecture and museums. Today, Amiens is a vibrant cultural centre, known for its festivals, markets, and gastronomy, with a strong sense of community and a deep connection to its heritage.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to La chambre d'amiens, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (4th or 5th) if you can, as they are likely to be quieter due to being further from the street noise. These floors also have access to the lift, which is a plus. If you're looking for a specific view, rooms on the 4th or 5th floor facing east might offer a view of the city, but keep in mind that Amiens is a city with a relatively low-rise skyline, so the views might not be breathtaking.
Rooms to avoid
If you're a light sleeper, avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd) as they are closer to the street and may be noisier. Rooms near the service entrance or lift might also be noisier due to foot traffic.
