Hotel great, staff excellent but evening meal poor

The bedroom was magnificent and the reception staff were charming helpful and efficient . However the visit was rather spoilt by a very poor supper with little choice and badly cooked main course. The wine list is good but overpriced

Interesting history to this old coaching inn. Obviously the rooms have had to be altered and adapted to cater for modern requirements. In spite of being on the main road through the village the traffic was no problem. Prices reflect its 4 star status. Staff were most helpful and efficient.

A fabulous hotel/ Check in is at 4pm, no earlier!

Fabulous hotel with a couple of caveats.... Beautiful public spaces and lovely rooms. First experience when attempting to check in a couple of hours early or at least drop our luggage was met with a dismissive attitude by male front desk clerk whose name we did not get. Take this hotel at its word that check in is at 4pm and not a moment earlier.... Also there are only 4 parking spaces at the hotel which you need to reserve in advance. When we did check in around 5pm, we were warmly greeted by Laurente, who was friendly and very helpful with things to do near Vezelay for our next day. We ate at L'Eternal in the the hotel that evening and it was fantastic! The service and food were truly delightful! Also the service at the bar was fantastic. This is truly a very very lovely hotel and we would highly recommend it!

Room not corresponding the photos on the website

room was located in an adjacent building and accessed by going out and passing the court behind the hotel. It was marketed as a junior suite. In the reality, it was a relatively large, not at all cosy a three star bedroom with a cheap sofa bed for family use, and had nothing to do with the photo on the website. The gloomy character of the room was increased by the two very small windows and a tile floor without rugs, not even next to the bed (slippers were provided). I’ve of course not seen the other rooms in this part of the hotel but I would stongly recommend to avoid rooms 401 - 413.

Hade en fin vistelse, men blev väldigt besviken att deras restaurang är stängd på tisdagar vilket inte kommunicerats, detta gällde även ett gäng av restaurangerna i Vézelay. Hotellet behöver även en uppfräschning från bilderna som syns här. Blev lite besviken och förväntningarna på låg högre.
