the city is amasing, the hotel charming and romantic, simply loved it all.

We had booked a Crusader Tour to France and I looked up this hotel on trip advisor and was fearing the worse.
But we liked it and so did our tour group. It is in a perfect position and the grounds are level. We were in the main building where the reception centre is and also the breakfast room.. We were up one flight of stairs which we did walk up and down a lot, it could have been worse. It was practise for the stairs of Rocamadour. There is a large half covered pool, a paved patio and lounges in reception.

To go to dinner you need to walk a little to the restaurant but twice we had dinner out under the trees/stars. Opposite this restaurant there is a bar where we ended up after the main meal for coffee, wine and specially made iced coffee..- mention the couple from Australia if you ask for iced coffee.

From this hotel you can walk down to the medieval village with all the shops and restaurants, it is a longish pathway. You can catch the lift both both down and up from our hotel, if you do not want to walk. There is a small village you go through before the hotel which has fabulous views and also shops and restaurants..

We had no problems with the food, each meal was different followed by local cheese and desert.

Tips
1. Put in a swimming costume
2. Put in a small electic jug/birko and cups. There is no fridge so you will need powdered milk or similar, tea bags etc. There is a small supermarket near the tourist bureau in the village.
3. We found the Rocamadour village down below the best prices and regret not buying our presents/souveneirs there.
4. Make sure if you go on a tour you get a map of the area.
5. Make sure you say 'Bonjour - good day, Merci - thankyou and Aurevour - goodbye all the time to everyone who is French and you will get good service and happy faces.

I could not rate this hotel for value as it was in a bed and breakfast and dinner deal with Crusader Tours

Stayed here as part of a Crusader package tour. Bedrooms very good; clean and comfortable. However the main hotel building only houses the bedrooms and lobby it seems. No facilities for a drink of cup of anything. The restaurant is a walk away as is the bar and cafe. This was the main bone of contention, Not good if the weather is poor as it was when I stayed here. Going outside to walk to dinner in the pouring rain is not ideal.

The restaurant is very pleasant but food is average, portions adequate but wouldn't suit a very big appetite! On our package there was no choice of menu unless you particularly didn't like something then often an omelette was offered as an alternative. For those not on this package there was plenty of choice. House wine was reasonable and good. Fortunately breakfast was served in the hotel proper and this was excellent. Another tour staying at the same time was not so fortunate and had to go outside to the main restaurant.

The location of the du Chateau is convenient for getting to the small town of Rocamadour. The funicular railway is just a short walk from the hotel entrance.. Those able to walk a bit further can explore the few shops closer to the hotel.

People should be aware that there is no lift.

Overall, given the choice, I probably would not return to the du Chateau. It served its purpose and was pleasant and safe.
