“Much better than some people say”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed on a half board basis for four nights. Having previously seen critical reviews here, we were apprehensive about what we might find. We need not have worried. The food was excellent, varied and completely hygenic (contrary to what you may read below, there are no flies on the cheeseboard, which was always properly covered, no yogurt left unrefrigerated overnight). Either the management have cleaned up their act after seeing some of the reviews here, or maybe it was never as bad as some people suggest. True, the hotel has a faded aura, and doubtless looked smarter in the days when Queen Amelie patronised it. But it is in a charming location, the staff are very attentive and friendly, and the rooms and public areas are clean and well cared for. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“Shabby and Run Down”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 June 2009

The Hotel Reine Amelie was a real disappointment. 60's concrete block in a dreary riverside setting and dull little town. Stained carpets in the communal areas, grubby swimming pool area, dripping taps in the bathrooms and Air Con that blasted warm air instead of cool, stained tiles in the bathroom and feeble shower that you have to hold above your head as they couldn't be bothered to put a hook on the wall. The food was OK but it was really off-putting to see flies crawling all over the cheeseboard which should have been covered in a dining room which was overly warm. Really nice, friendly management and staff but this in no way made up for the general grot. Needs a lot of money spending on it to bring it up to a reasonable standard.

“In Need of a Facelift ...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 May 2007

people found this review helpful

I stayed here on a twin centre holiday between France & Spain. The location is good, surrounded by lovely countryside overlooking a river. My room was large with a balcony but the decor was tired. The lighting in the room was poor which combined with heavy furniture made the room dark & dingy. The buffet was self service and while quantity was not a problem some of the food combinations were strange.

On the plus side the staff are friendly, especially in the restaurant, and Amelie is really pretty and a good base to explore the area.

“One night stay Ok”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 August 2006
1
person found this review helpful

For a one nights stay on the way to Spain, it is OK, this was the main reason for choosing this area and hotel. Hotel is in need of some new decor, but rooms were adequate and clean with ensuite. Pool was OK although bit small, kids were fine using it.
Restaurant - probably not so french and more of canteen style. Would recommend to explore local restaurants in this charming small village for something more special.
