Our stay in Chateau de la Rapee has prompted me to write my "first ever" review in Trip Advisor. Due to a number of problems - getting lost being one--we arrived at C de La R at about 7 p.m. and got the last available room in the Chateau for 115 euros. We opted for the all-inclusive - room, dinner and breakfast for 208 euros. Our room was large but had seen better days. For instance, the separate toilet had brown industrial carpet on the walls instead of wallpaper, the bidet barely worked and the very dim light was burnt out. The bathroom had a tub and only a hand-held shower. The massive bathroom window that faced the front courtyard had no curtain. The beds were well past their "best by" date and were the most uncomfortable beds we slept in during our entire trip. Dinner was nice but the wine list was very expensive. After our meal, the waiter brought us a sheet of paper with breakfast items on it -- we were to choose our breakfast so I marked that we would have orange juice, cereal, cheese and eggs. At all our other hotels in France breakfast was very comprehensive so, stupidly, we assumed the same as no additional prices were noted on the list. Imagine our surprise when we went to check out and had to pay an additional 17 euros for breakfast!
Oh, did I mention that there was a party right under our bedroom that went on until about 12:30 p.m.
This hotel was marked as a three star in the guidebooks but the two star hotels we stayed at were better! The grounds looked nice but it was very hard to appreciate them after a expensive bad night's sleep. This stay was suppose to be a 'treat' but ended up being the worst night of the trip.
