It’s a lovely hotel in the heart of Dourdan. The beautiful little cathedral and castle ruins are next to the hotel. They have a lovely farmers market on Saturdays. Would stay again!

No internet!
No internet connection available at all during our one day stay How do they receive their own emails? Not acceptable in a hotel charging £100 a night But walk up the road to the tourist board where the internet is available and free

We paid over €220 for a family room - what we got were to two small adjoining rooms. This place is very expensive for what it is - our price should have included breakfast - but did not . The staff are lovely and helpful . But this place is greatly over priced for what it is . The other thing to consider is that it is so noisy

Small stop over.
We stayed for one night. The staff where amazing, super friendly. Do to Covid restrictions breakfast was served in our room. We filled out our order and time. A great feature. It was also situated in the center of a historic town. Short walk to everything! Will definitely return!

My room was VERY, VERY cold. I kept complaining, but they did not give me a space heater until the last day. It was miserable. My room was an attic---- it had only one tiny 2 foot square window set very high, facing up. My friends had nice rooms, and they charged us all the same----that was very unfair.

Staff in chaos
Breakfast was a fiasco - I did not have breakfast but other members of my family staying ( for a wedding) did - they found a room with food run out - no tea or coffee- no cutlery and no one to help. We all had cold showers on the last day - no apology or even acknowledgment - and they tried to charge me for breakfast I had not even requested/received!

Great property in old town Dourdan. Very close to the castle and nestled on cobblestone streets. Its adorable and very convenient - walking distance to everything - measured in feet, not miles. Love the Staff and Views from the rooms.

We checked in and spent some time in our family room before having to leave due to family emergency. Staff were lovely about it and didn’t charge us. The room was clean, comfortable and a good size for a family.

Central location in village
Couldnt have an evening meal there. All booked up. Never been refused a meal as a hotel guest before. Noisy soiree outside so we wanted a quiet drink inside at the bar. Drinks only being served outside!

Stop off from long drive going on Holiday
Good we booked a family room and it was not one.. It was tiny and when we arrived we could not even open the door as the camp bed they put in for my son blocked the door..after moving a desk we could get in..it was a small double room that they tried to pass off for 3 people it was ridiculous and in a way dangerous The receptionist was a little moody and had no understanding of what we needed. The hotel restaurant was closed for hot food and the whole of the town is closed on a Sunday evening

Dourdan is charming town only 1 hour from Paris, historic but with nice friendly vibe. Hotel looks like it was recently taken over by Best Western and is in process of being renovated. Room was comfortable. Very nice lobby, dining room terrace and right in the central square of town. Definitely would have stayed a couple of nights but unfortunately had to catch a flight the next day. Thanks J.G

Not good on a Monday!
Not the easiest hotel to find as it wasn't signed as a Best Western. The little village was very pretty but as we arrived on a Monday everywhere was closed which meant we had to eat in the hotel which was fine. The room was very comfortable and quiet which meant we got a good night's sleep and left early on Tuesday to continue our travels through France.

Excellent for a Stopover
We used the hotel as an overnight stopover on the long drive back from Spain and found it the best place we had ever used for this purpose. Comfy clean spacious room with bunk beds for the kids (i think we had a suite) with plenty to look at in the immediate area if time allows.

TAKE A PORTABLE FAN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS
A very attractive hotel in an interesting small town. One big drawback - NO air conditioning in the rooms, and with very high July/August temperatures this does not make for a comfortable nights rest. The hotel seemed to have been recently extensively refurbished to a quite high standard and the omission of air conditioning seems very shortsighted.

Picturesque town for an overnight stop
We stayed for 1 night en route to southern France. It was easy to reach from the A10 and great value for money. Its fairly basic - similar to a Premier Inn in the UK - but met our needs. Dourdan is a very picturesque little town if you can spare the time to look around.
