We already visited the restaurant several times and we appreciate it highly.
For the first time we stayed in the hotel, which is not in line with the style of the restaurant. Rooms are not only old fashioned but have many defects : hole in the ceiling through wich water weeps through when upstairs neighours are taking a shower, chandelier with ware electric wirings, very noisy (you can hear every step of the upstairs neighbours).
The price of the rooms is completely not in balance with the comfort.
The hotel management told us that the rooms on the first floor will be completely renovated in 2010, which is highly recommended.

We were 3 adults travelling through this lovely area and were delighted with our accommodations- airy large room with 3 single beds. The room was beautifully decorated with antiques and lovely linens. Our meal at the Clos was one of the best we had on this trip. Staff were helpful. Breakfast was smaller than we have been used to in this region, but the overall experience was special.

On arrival at the hotel we were allocated an attic romm which was so small that one person had to sit on the bed fro the other to move around. There was also a portable fan running as the room was so stuffy but this made little difference. On asking to change rooms we could not be accommodated until the following day. We were then moved to a room on the first floor which was more spacious and airy. The staff were very helpful in this as they moved our luggage while we went out. In general the rooms are quite noisy with people moving about in other rooms but this is to be expected as the property is very old and creaky.
The general standard of cleanliness was good but the hotel lacked atmosphere and the lounge area was cold (not temperature) and uninviting. The breakfast was very limited on even for continental style with no cereals on offer which most hotels offer these days. The hotel was understaffed with one person dealing with the breakfast room and simultaneously cleaning the floors and dealing with reception. English speaking staff is only available on certain days.
The restaurant had more atmosphere and though serving good food was not considered value for money..
