Hotel & Spa du Chateau

"We stayed here for one night whilst touring. Overall, the hotel felt as though it was slightly living on its former glories. Our room was on the ground floor, overlooking the garden. It was reasonably spacious, and the bed was comfortable and clean. The wooden furniture was of high quality, but the decor, overall, looked slightly tired. The bathroom was open to the bedroom, with a huge window between the bathroom and bed. The bathroom was well equipped with a double sink, wrapped soap, etc. When showering, it was obvious that the window had not been cleaned for some time, as the steam revealed a selection of graffiti from previous occupants. The wall outside our room was covered in bad paintings, which were for sale, mainly with a beach theme. The large garden at the back was full of mature trees, many of which look as though they need some care. Breakfast was very good, and the reception and breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. The car park is extensive and immaculate: possibly the best hotel car park I've ever seen :) The hotel does not have a restaurant. Location was good provided you have a car: close to La Rochelle and to Lagord, where there are a couple of decent restaurants."

"The lady at the front desk was very nice but that’s it . After that everything goes down the drains. The bedroom was very dirty and needs a serious deep cleaning. Dust everywhere and the building needs some serious TLC . The light on the ceiling of our bedroom didn’t work and the lamp cover fixture was full of dead bugs . The carpet was dirty and the AC vents were full of dust. Our room was next to the restaurant and we could smell a very bad odor of old frying oil. The breakfast buffet the first two days was horrible. Cold food, inedible fatty bacon, cold overcooked scrambled eggs , dirty plates . No attendants during two days to take care of the buffet . A disaster. You should be ashamed to serve this kind of rubbish to your customers. The price of the buffet was exorbitant and it was a rip off. The last morning the buffet was much better thanks to the nice front desk lady that was in charge . The building is beautiful but the owner needs to invest money to repair it especially the windows I will never nor recommend your hotel to anyone."

"Got back early hours last friday after spending 3 mights here. Fabulous looking building. Small reception area very nice lady at check in. We were in room 5 which faces the grounds at the back. Room was lovely, great shower, no complaints. There we 4 couple as 3 came over to visit friends who live just over a hour away so they drove over to join us. Bed very comfy and didn't hear anything once in bed so peaceful. Breakfast was nice, fresh fruit, scrambled eggs, bacon, nice French stick and plenty more. All the staff were very nice and friendly. Restaurant was nice and good selection of drinks. Nice seating area outside if weather would have been warmer. Quite a way out from town but just along the road are bus stops which takes you into town and back. Number 10. 1.50 euro. Only criticism is there isn't anywhere really to sit in evening. There is a sofa and couple of armchairs in restaurant but only enough room for us who took it over. Got locked out of our room safe last day but to our relief the lady managed to sort it. We had a lovely time but would be even better to have a nice lounge to sit and have a drink before and after meal. Evening meals were very nice. If we did return would stay there again. 2 days would have been more then enough bit as our flight was in evening made it a very long day."
