The hotel was used as part of the Leger trip to Monet’s garden, Versailles, cheese & calvados trip. The area boasts new cycle lanes so the coach cant park outside but stops just over the road, worth taking into consideration as there is no porterage. It was in the middle of renovations when we visited so everywhere was in a bit if disarray but caused us no issues whatsoever. There is a small slow lift so on check in that becomes busy and its tucked in a small corner with little room to stand, so if you can, use the stairs. We had room 306. Rooms, small and basic, bathroom, 2 small towels, thin and not very good quality but adequate and changed every day. No hand towel at all. Hairdryer - ours did not work and I’m not sure if that was just an issue in this particular room but it wasn’t needed so again not an issue. Shower - has a high step up into it and can become quite slippy so care is needed, shower was good and plenty of hot water. Large mirror and small bin Bed was comfortable with extra pillows, good large window which opens fully, good air conditioning which worked really well. Small seat, chair and desk, very small wardrobe with 4 hangers, no drawers, no tea/coffee, no safe or phone. Curtain good quality and blackout. We slept really well No English channel on TV (it said there was a news channel but we couldn’t get it) Breakfast - fresh orange juice, tea, coffee etc Delicious fresh bread to slice yourself, croissants and brioche, selection of jams and yoghurts, fruit and ham. Cheese was a thick wedge and me personally would have preferred slices Bacon, sausage and scrambled egg. Im very choosy about these breakfast staples so did not try these Restaurant/bar. Both excellent. Good choice in the bar and priced averagely. The menu for dinner - opens at 7pm was small but having tried 4 of the dishes i could not fault them, again all under or around €15 Parking plentiful Small outdoor patio area with tables and chairs. Not the prettiest place to sit and could do with some smartening up but to sit, chat and drink it was more than adequate Staff. Super friendly and helpful Really for a small (500ish) room motel it was adequate, quiet and just over the road from the Seine which was a pleasant walk. 15 minute stroll to the cathedral and old town. Excellent bakery around the corner. Carrefour and pizzas I would definitely be happy to stay again
