Location was what we wanted i.e. Valenciennes and near (15 minute walk) to the station for trains into Lille. Parking on the site is plentiful and very secure
Quiet in the house and garden despite being on a main road. Everything about the place was delightful. The building itself, the artwork and decor, the garden. Shower and bathroom facilities (room 3) are very good. Bed very good. The breakfast was great and the host/owner Philippe was so helpful, welcoming and knowledgeable.
Thoroughly recommend Le Grand Duc, if you like an old style building with a modern and creative approach to the decor and a very welcoming and comfortable approach from the host.
Signage for the hotel on the road was difficult to see so we drove past it the first time.
We loved everything else.

What a fabulous property. I cannot recommend it enough. The building and gardens are beautiful and the interior so stunning and interesting. Philippe is a fantastic host providing a delicious breakfast, plenty of useful advice and lots of humour.
Thank you for our wonderful stay.

Very comfortable. Ideal for travelling around the area( we were cycling). It was a paradise in the city. Eclectic and exceptional in decor. The senses were stimulated both in the house and garden

Stylish quirky hotel with a great, friendly host. Lovely breakfast.
Location not in centre of town but there is a tram stop right outside and it is only €1 into town.

It felt like staying with old friends!
Although it is located in what seems to be the most rundown suburb of Valenciennes, it is a nicely restored old house with a nice small garden and a very short drive or tram ride to the centre of town.

A hidden gem. A beautiful guesthouse run by a very friendly owner who really cares about providing a nice experience. The breakfast is exceptional, as was the dinner.

The owner was so kind. All the staff was so helpful. The breakfast was great! The garden was beautiful, and the decor was eclectic and pleasing. There was a cat and a dog and we really felt like part of the family. The owner made a great recommendation for dinner, and we had a nice time at this restaurant.

End of 18th/beginning of 19th century mansion, furbished somewhat eclectically but with a lot of taste. Comfortable rooms and beds, convenient bath room, and ... if you go there, take the dinner option: worth it. Nice park to have a drink in. Very safe parking (walled in). Agreeable and very helpful owner/manager that will advise you on what to do.
Good stop over, but Valenciennes is definitely a place you can afford to avoid. Run-down, much destroyed during WW1, and not very well rebuilt.

It was right beside the tram, the building was very nice. Secure parking.
The host wasn't as friendly as previous reviews seemed to indicate. He was polite, but encounters felt a bit awkward. Like I was a guest in his house sort of and was conscious of his presence. There was no bath, which was annoying as my booking specifically said there was a bath. I searched properties which offered a bath..

The atmosphere of the place is wonderful. The hotel is in a former charming "Maison de maître", a very romantic and calm place. The taste of decoration of the owner is fantastic and could directly come out of a Wes Anderson's movie! It is an amazing place to stay for work but also with your loved one.
The surroundings are not the best of the town.

Large room and bathroom
We were on the top floor and it was a bit of a struggle with our bags on the winding staircase. Also didn't realise we had to pre-book dinner but the host did book a restaurant for us which was a 30 minute walk.

Philippe is a great host! He makes you feel welcome and invited to explore the house and the grounds — and there is a lot to explore! While looking around, you instantly think of a whole bunch of friends and relatives who would LOVE the place and should follow your recommendation. Much rather you would love to take along next time to hang out in the garden.
What a great place and a very nice owner. Wherever you travel to in France coming from Northern Europe make sure you stop here for a night before your journey continues.

une maison de maître comme une maison de rêve, à la décoration à la fois chaleureuse et contemporaine, avec un goût très sur. L'hôte est prévenant et passionné. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux, à la fois sucré et salé. idéal pour sillonner la région.

Très bon accueil. Endroit très chic et avec une âme. On est gâtés au petit déjeuner.
Les parois entre les chambres, et également la porte entre la chambre et le palier sont peu insonorisées. Mais les personnes ayant respecté des horaires corrects, cela n’a pas été gênant.

Lieu magnifique et très bon accueil. Dommage de n’avoir pu en profiter plus longtemps.
Pensez à mettre une boîte de mouchoir dans la chambre ;-)

Wunderschön mit viel Liebe zum Detail und der Kunst eingerichtetes B‘nB. Philippe ist ein wundervoller und interessierter Gastgeber. Das Frühstück wird frisch auf die persönlichen Wünsche ausgerichtet und ist sehr gut. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt.
