Love the old world charm, quiet & off the beaten path.
If you are traveling without a car it is a challenge to get there & there are no grocery stores within walking distance.

The setting and location were beautiful. The evening restaurant was great and the staff helpful. The furnishings in the room really nice as were the amenities provided. Shower was great - did need a mat for the floor though as when the shower door opened it left a pool of water.
The TV was good but no instructions.
I didn't have breakfast as I requested but told that I couldn't have before 08.15 and then that depended on if the receptionist was there in time
The room had a damp/old odour to it and was very dark due to the heavy thick curtains, blinds might be better in the summer.
Limited space to hang clothes and only one hanger in the cupboard.
The attitude of the staff. The fact that I think I was on my own all night, in the middle of a park and there was not a night porter on duty, well not that we could find!
The electronic lock on the main door to the block where my room (3) was broke. I couldn't get out of the building. I wandered through to the restaurant but there was no way to the main building through there. I didn't want to try the restaurant door as it looked as if it was alarmed. Luckily my colleague was coming to pick me up. On her arrival I threw the keys to her from my room balcony, but the outer fob wasn't working either. My colleague found a cleaner who didn't help much. we chanced it and I opened the restaurant door, luckily it wasn't alarmed).
My colleague had brought me breakfast but there was no where to get a coffee. The receptionist arrived and was not apologetic at all, didn't even offer a complimentary coffee! When my colleague mentioned about breakfast the reply she got was 'I told you 8.30'!!
I do appreciate that my stay coincided with the events that happened in near by Nanterre, however, having worked in the hospitality industry myself it is as times like that when guests should be made to feel even more welcome and 'safe'!
Our company hosts guests from around the world, and this would have been a delightful location for them to stay or for us to entertain them. However, after my experience we won't be recommending this anytime soon.

Very cosy and decorated with love. Very nice details and good breakfast.
It was raining so it would have been nice to have a way through the hotel to the reception. But thats a minor detail.

Staff is lovely and very flexible approach. This was very much appreciated.
The location is amazing, calm and great for sports lovers. Perfect place for playing Tennis, running, walking. Loved having lunch on the terrace of the Verger whilst enjoying the sunshine. Little gem of a place. Everyone loved it !
The furniture in the room could be updated but main beds were super comfy and bathrooms are modern and clean.

Location is great, it's right by the river with a walking trail and a foresty path close by - perfect if you have dogs that can roam around freely! My dog is so happy here I stayed an extra night. It's 30 minute drive to the center of Paris if there's no traffic, which never happens for me, but on the way back it is right about 30 minutes. On the way into Paris it is more like 50 minutes, so be prepared! However I am in awe that such a short distance from Paris is this secluded little hidden gem!
Nothing!

Location quiet but central, beautiful view on the river
if you don’t speak any French it might become a little challenging. But you will manage with some good will.

An absolute hidden treasure right at the shore of the river Seine, situated in a trainquil natural area but just a short drive from Versailles (20 min by car) and downtown Paris (30 min by taxi or 45 min by public transport). It offers not one but two tasteful and cosy restaurants that are popular with the local people, a gastronomic restaurant overlooking the Seine and a bistro facing the garden. Typical but stylish combination of traditional buildings where the rooms, restaurant and reception / bar are located and a ‘modern’ covered tennis court. A large garden and bar area and playground next to the tennis courts. The host is the most generous and friendly person we met. The rooms are sizable, clean, with comfy beds, decorated with an eye for detail and offer everything you need and really make you feel at home. We will definitely come back! Perfect getaway.
Only downside is the airconditioning unit. It is too weak to cool the room so when we stayed here in Summer the room was too hot all day long which made us sleep less well.

It is an amazing property near the river Seine! great views over the water! Nice and clean rooms! great outdoors space for kids and families! Nice vibes and good restaurant at the property!
The difficult access to the rooms with no assistance from the staff with the luggage! No phone in the room to call reception! Late breakfast starting at 8am!

very quaint and lovely property, perfect for after our wedding reception at the venue!
there could have been a door between the bathroom and bedroom (even if it was not a permanent one). otherwise comfortable and clean!

Right on the river with lots of walking paths. Beautiful scenery. was surprised to be in a private suite. Finished very nice, beds were super comfortable. Two person shower was enjoyable.
was a little hard to find and navigate around all the locals walking along the river. not a bad thing either.

Cosy, “far from the madding crowd” but still close to Paris. Very peculiar atmosphere, very nice staff.
Just don’t expect to speak anything but French.

The location, the choice between the gastronomic restaurant and simple card, the rooms, and the total quietness of the environment.
I would have wished for a better explanation of how to get there, coming from Paris. The public transport to the place is almost impossible - was not sure what train station to step out and took one without taxis. I was lucky that a nice taxidriver off duty happened to come to pick up his son and took me along.

Le calme et son environnement
Globalement bien mais un petit rafraîchissement du papier peint de la chambre serait de bonne augure

Tutto il resto: pulizia e servizio clienti. Camera sporca ( angoli di ragnatele! ) fredda

Das Hotel liegt traumhaft und malerisch an der Seine, insgesamt ist das Ganze eine schöne Anlage mit einem Tennisclub und einem schönen Garten, der zumindestens, wenn das Restaurant offen ist, bewirtet und sehr schön ist. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich. Es gibt gute Parkmöglichkeiten und man muss nur etwa 30 Minuten zu Fuß an der Seine entlang laufen und kommt dann zu einem Bahnhof, von hier sind es dann mit der Bahn gute 10 Minuten zum Triumphbogen.
Unser Zimmer war unglaublich und unbeschreiblich schmutzig. Selbst in einem 100 Jahre alten und niemals gereinigtem Museum wäre wohl die Staubschicht nicht größer. Unser Zimmer wurde offensichtlich nicht nur in den letzten Tagen oder Wochen, sondern ganz ehrlich seit Jahren nicht mehr gereinigt. Allein wenn man z. B. einen Koffer auf dem Boden gelegt hat, war dieser danach von einer durchgängigen dicken Staubschicht umgeben. Überall waren Spinnweben und sonstiger Schmutz. Ein Zimmer in diesem Zustand zu vermieten ist leider eine Frechheit! Das war leider so extrem dreckig, dass es wirklich ekelhaft war. Das geht wirklich gar nicht!
Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, geboten wurde ein Heißgetränk und ein Kaltgetränk, sowie Croissants, Butter und Konfitüre. Mehr allerdings nicht und gemessen an dem dafür aufgerufenen Preis war es selbst für Pariser Verhältnisse überteuert.

Lieu très atypique et bucolique avec la forêt tout à côté pour faire de jolies balades.
Le personnel est très sympathique, les chambres confortables.
Nous avons pu apprendre que des films étaient tournés à cet endroit dont un assez connu : "un éléphant ça trompe énormément" ! En effet la partie de tennis avec Guy Bedos fut réalisée là.
Petit-déjeuner très basique mais nous avons pu obtenir une belle omelette au jambon à notre demande 😉😊🤗
Un peu plus de lumière peut-être...un peu sombre dans la salle de bains

Biensur, c'est une auberge.
Ne vous attendez pas à trouver un endroit moderne et super clean.
C'est un bâtiment atypique qui fait son age.
Mais avec tout ce dont on a besoin.
Un très grand lit d'une excellente qualité .
L'amabilité, la gentillesse et la compréhension des propriétaires et du personnel.
Au top.
Merci à tous.
Rien, sinon,une petite paire de chaussons aurait été bien.
