We read the mixed reviews and decided to judge for ourselves. We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed them both. If you prefer everything symmetrical, orderly and run of the mill, this is not the place for you. The building is ancient and every creeking crack is taking the wallpaper with it!, but it is full of character and... more

We found the Hotel de France a perfect place to stay, in our case for a weekend break. Centrally located in the fine and fascinating town of Montreuil sur Mer, with so many places of interest within easy walking distance, the hotel itself is comfortable, relaxing, reasonably priced, and with the most friendly, warm and accommodating proprietors. We also found... more

This quirkily decorated attractive old coaching inn in the centre of montreuil has a delightful flower filled courtyard with tables and chairs which in good weather provide a great setting for breakfast. Unfortunately the hotel is quite run down with peeling wallpaper and crumbling window frames. We paid 95euros for a double room which is way over the odds, with... more

Hallo everyone, I am Sandro and I have just spent the bank holiday week-end at the Hotel de France with my partner Louise. Appearance was never so deceptive ! We were tricked by some good reviews and the nice pictures on the website. However, when we arrived, the shock was immense. The place is stunning, it has great potential and... more

This was our fourth visit to the hotel as we have come to love the old world charm of this vintage hotel steeped in history. The hotel now also offers a two bedroomed apartment with everything you could need in an interesting art deco style. Owners, Janie and Patrick Harpur are wonderful hosts and many a fun filled evening is... more

We took our father for a birthday treat and we had a wonderful time. This is a truly French experience. The hotel is charming and has great character. It is not a bland chain hotel and offers a taste of French culture in its style. It has a wonderful courtyard where we spent many evenings drinking wine surrounded by beautiful... more

At first arrival it felt like we had arrived in our own love story, my partner and I wanted to go somewhere that would be a special memory for the rest of our lives. We only stayed for 2 nights and it felt as if time had stopped for us. We could work everywhere that we needed. Fine food and... more

This place really should be a gem. It looks terrific from outside and we only used the restaurant. How do you say "Faulty Towers" in French? The service, though friendly was poor, and while the starters were OK, the main courses were inedible. 52 euros for the pleasure - we gave them 40, and that was generous. We stayed at... more

We were in Montreuil sur Mer to meet up with family and walked around the town to find a hotel/restaurant. Suddenly we came upon this wonderful, old building. Large, ancient doors opening on to a hidden courtyard, filled with flowers on all levels. Enchanting. We ate outside and had delicious food served by friendly, helpful people. We live in France,... more
