Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location was convenient, and the service was excellent, but the room experience was disturbed by unusual sounds. The dining options were average, and the price for some items felt overpriced.
The hotel offers a cozy and quirky room with low ceilings, a huge Jacuzzi bath, and a great bathroom. The terrace lacks a real view but compensates with a parking view. The service is top-notch, especially for non-French speakers, with attentive and helpful staff offering spacious rooms and large bathtubs. The location is serene, with beautiful ruins nearby to explore, even though the hotel falls slightly short of expected standards. The dining options are of good quality but slightly limited for a 5-star hotel, and the breakfast fee may not suit everyone. The facilities are well-maintained with various services available.
My stay at this hotel was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms had a strangely decorated French style, which might not be everyone's taste, but they were classy. However, the price was far too high for the run-down property. The service was exceptional and above the norm, but there were attempts to cut costs that impacted the overall experience. The location was incredible with beautiful surroundings, though some aspects felt a bit cheap. The dining experience was good, but additional charges for basic items were off-putting. Overall, a place with potential but in need of some improvements.
