“Do not stay here”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

I have no idea why anyone would stay at this hotel. It is faded in the extreme, it is not charming, it is simply falling apart. It is set in the middle of an industrial estate and the rooms are disgusting.
The pool is dirty and cold. The only reason to stay here is lack of choice. The staff, particularly the female manager are rude and dismissive. I was put in a room overlooking the car park that had no curtains at the window. The bright spotlights shone in all night and there was a complete lack of privacy. Despite phoning reception 3 times and them promising to bring something to cover the windows no-body came. On check out when I explained the problem they simply said "We know there are no curtains." They would not reduce the Euro200 room rate at all despite the fact I had not slept. It would not have been so bad had the room not been filthy, the bed uncomfortable and the handset of a shower completely useless. This is exactly the kind of awful hotel that this site helps people avoid. Do not stay here under any circumstances.

“Not geared up for tourists and not value for money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 July 2011

person found this review helpful

I agree with some other reviewers that this is a lovely chateau in a beautiful setting but it hasn't got much else going for it....actually the beds were nice! Its quite a distance from the centre of Aix and you would need a car to get from the chateau to the centre or train stations. We were disadvantaged as we did not have a car however the staff were not all helpful coming up with alternatives, no one was able to tell us of any local bus routes (which we found ourselves after speaking with the tourist office) and were unhelpful with train times, day trips etc. We had a great breakfast one morning and then found out it was €20 each - so watch out and make sure you get this included in your package costs. We agreed we would not stay here again and were very disappointed with our stay.
