One of the declining number of traditional 3/4 star village/small town hotels that are being replaced by the bland massive chains
The staff were brilliant, especially Head Waitor Luc who was charming, interesting and very helpful. The village with its castle is very run down with a large derelict hospital, numerous closed hotels and empty shops, but still worth a visit as a stop over.
We had a great time at this property. It is a lovely old building with beautiful inner courtyards and an excellent restaurant. There is an outdoor pool which my husband took advantage of and the hotel is located next to a spa. Unfortunately the spa is closed at the moment for renovations with no date given for reopening. The bedroom was well decorated and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Bourbon L’Archambault is an interesting historical town and well worth a visit. We would gladly return to this hotel for further explorations.
AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
Appalling. Notified as disabled.Access is either via stairs or by exiting hotel and walkinG up the road. Relegated to an annexe, bed to high, had to lift my wife into bed. Menu limted and disgusting. Stayed 2 out of 6 nights . Left refusing to pay.

Plutot mitigée
Attention lorsque vous reservez via hotels.com car le site ne montre pas la photo de toute les chambres et il y a 2 type, les chambres appart et les chambres de luxe. Je me suis fais avoir a la reservation, je pensais avoir une chalbre de luxe et au final jai eu la chambre appart de qualite mediocre pour le prix. Le personnel de l'hôtel est tres accueillant et bienveillant, particulierement le jeune du matin. La piscine est atypique et reposante. Par contre je ne recommande pas le restaurant, il est de tres mauvaise qualité, proche de cauchemar en cuisine, les plats sont mediocres pour le prix, c'est encore moins qualitatif que ce dont je me prepare quand j'ai pas de motivation. Allez au restaurant pour manger moins bien que chez soi, c'est la honte

la formule étape est très intéressante mais l’hébergement n’est pas à la hauteur. La vmc fait un bruit infernal et la salle de bain est catastrophique , vieillotte et hors du temps. C’est dommage car le site est incroyable et le personnel se donne du mal
Réservation du restaurant et du payement préalable de la chambre non effectués. Service sans sourires à la réception et au restaurant (sauf jeune serveuse attribuée) Accueil déplorable et petit déjeuner avec plateaux vides et fromages moisis…
Hôtel très surprenant (plusieurs bâtiments, plusieurs niveaux)
Pas très moderne mais l'hôtel a une âme liée à son histoire
Jardins et patio très agréables
Bibliothèque dans l'hôtel avec jeux de société
Etat d'esprit du personnel jeune et décontracté mais professionnel
Séjour de 6 nuits pour cure aux thermes. Hôtel atypique (Hob). Personnel polyvalent et souriant, disponible pour aider.
Belle bâtisse historique, grandes chambres. Petit déjeuner copieux et varié
J'ai apprécié la chambre, le confort, la piscine et le repas du soir au jardin.
Accueil professionnel.
Petit parking gratuit devant l'hôtel.

Literie petite et pas confortable. Il faisait chaud et le seul moyen de rafraîchir était d'ouvrir la fenêtre qui donne sur la rue son bruit et ses moustiques.
Le reste de l'hôtel était très agréable et l'accueil aussi
Fantastique et encore un grand merci pour l accueil. le personnel d accueil du restaurant de menage est hyper sympa. Petit dej au top. Et on n a pas eu le temps de tout tester restaurant salle de lecture piscine on reviendra

La qualité de la chambre standard n'est pas à la hauteur d'un 4 étoiles.
Très mauvaise isolation phonique, étroitesse de la salle de bains.
Très bon repas à prix raisonnable, personnel agréable.
Equipe de l'hôtel professionnelle et efficace.
Hôtel confortable et bien situé.
De nombreux équipements disponibles (bibliothèque, jeux de société, piscine, etc.)
Bâtiment ancien et plein de charme impliquant quelques concession notamment sur l'insonorisation des chambres sans que ce soit vraiment gênant.
Chambre confort qui n’en porte que le nom
Décevant on ne s’attend pas à ça vu le standing général de l’hôtel et les prix pratiqués
Chambre petite, lit 140, miroir salle de bain positionné trop bas, un demi rouleau de PQ pour 2 et prix du parking et du petit-déjeuner trop élevés
Bref grosse déception
Où sont les 4 étoiles? Expérience pénible @rewards
Joli hôtel avec un excellent restaurant, mais avec de nombreuses lacunes et problèmes (wifi ne fonctionne pas, coffre-fort sans serrure/fermeture (!), service en chambre pas complet: plus de kleenex, balais de toilette momifié de pq, rideaux décrochés, ...), douche de piscine ne fonctionne pas, etc.). Le pire a été l'attitude très déplacée concernant les nuits gratuites/rewards dont nous bénéficions pour 1 nuit: selon la reception, cela était "totalement impossible que le séjour soit deja réglé" et même en présentant la copie de la facture, on nous repond de manière agressive et en ricanant que c'est impossible et qu'il faut régler et appeler nous-mêmes Expedia! Inadmissible! Nous avons presque dû appeler la police ! Personnel du restaurant adorable. Très difficile de comprendre que cet hôtel dispose de 4 étoiles !
