Vallées et Plateau d'Ardenne Holidays

The staff was amazing, and there couldn’t be a better location to be at

This hotel is a viable, affordable option for visiting Paris and being located near the Louvre and other points of interest, but some amenities and features are only OK as opposed to excellent, and some of this may be related to renovations still in progress. We were met with a few things that didn't quite go right - (1) the cordless phone in the room was dead and the staff did not have batteries to repair them, though they did provide a different model replacement phone that did the job while we were there, and we noticed that as we were leaving, they were replacing all the phones in the rooms; (2) we went to the restaurant on our first night at the hotel and were ignored by restaurant staff even after we approached one waiter and ended up leaving - the same waiter worked the next day in the breakfast area and did not crack a smile; (3) at breakfast, one server knew how to make cafe au lait and the others did not, so the food experience varied each day depending on who was working; (4) the room keys kept getting demagnetized; (5) two tripping hazards that went unresolved - a piece of carpeting at the top of the stairs was allowed to hang over the top step instead of being trimmed to fit, and a drop from the bottom of the staircase into the lobby that we tripped over several times - no signage or markings to identify; (6) construction noise in the morning awakened us; and (7) one day, despite our hanging the "please clean room" sign on our door, our room was not serviced.

My husband I visited Bol in July and we had a wonderful stay at this lovely hotel. The exterior and the gardens give you sense of calm as soon as you enter through the iron gate. Our room was spotless and quiet with a very comfortable bed.The staff were very welcoming and the location was perfect, a walking distance from restaurants and beaches. The breakfast had fresh baking every morning and it was served on a terrace with the sea view. I loved Nick’s banana bread and a blueberry cake. Nick even packed some for the road the morning we checked out:) Thank you Nick! Monika was our server. She was always so pleasant. We highly recommend this hotel and would definitely love to come back.
