Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very small and needed updating, with some areas looking scruffy. However, they were nicely appointed and clean. The service was friendly and accommodating, although the rooms could use some improvements. The location offered a wonderful view overlooking the river, but some aspects of the surroundings were disappointing. The dining experience was good, although slightly pricier compared to other places. Overall, a decent stay with both positive and negative aspects to consider.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were very comfortable and spacious, complete with a bathtub and a bidet, and I loved the wonderful modern mattress on top of the antique bed. The view of the Dordogne valley from my room was superb, and the bright and cheery decor with lovely table dressings added a special touch to my stay. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing compared to the evening meal.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The comfortable rooms with AC were a plus, even though the view of rooftops was not ideal. The staff was helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with anything. However, the dining options were a bit limited for the price.
