Les Couteaux Du Chateau, Chateaudouble Yakınlarındaki Oteller

I stayed in this family hotel the owner is to your care for a 2-star nothing to say everything is perfectly a nice breakfast and willingly I would return there during my trips and competitive prices quiet and secure

The setting is quite lovely: a hotel within an old medieval town castle. Could be charming, romantic and beautiful. And it is to a large extent. With not too many rooms spread out over the several buildings, a pool area and an onboard high quality restaurant everything could be set for a relaxing vacation visit. We had dinner in the excellent restaurant - see my separate review (search Le Château d'Argens Restaurant (EX Logis du Guetteur)). Some of the rooms were renovated recently to a modern standard. We, however, had a room in the ”not-yet-renovated” category. It was clearly outdated and worn down, but still with charm and there was nothing wrong with the function. Beds quite comfortable. And all amenities were there, as well as an effectively working AC. The size was also generous, almost like a mini suite with separate sofa area. The bathroom was a nostalgic trip to the 70-ies with avocado green basin, tub and toilet. And the then compulsory bidet... Didn't bother us, but I can imagine some younger guests may find it strange. Up to date it is not. The small pool area very nice with some possibilities to shaded spots. ”Cute” garden. Very calm and tranquil - we could really relax. Overall standard is spot on three stars, which also is the official classification. Breakfast was served on a individual basis; i.e. no breakfast buffet. You order your breakfast the day before and set a time. Good! Saves waste. Environmental friendly. And should also save/cut the cost for the guests, but no... The basic, very old school French continental breakfast (bread, jam, juice and a youghurt) is 15 EUR. If you want cheese, that's 5 EUR extra. If you want a slice of ham and salami, that's 5 EUR extra. If you want eggs (served after 9 o'clock), that's 7 EUR extra. Nowadays even French hotels have cheese, charceturies and eggs on their breakfast tables/buffets as a standard. So, if you want the same at Le Ch d'Argens you'll end up paying over 30 euros. Considering the rooms are a tad overpriced, this is not very nice or very good... Definitely a bit stingy. Staff kind and helpful. Be aware: check in is exactly at 3 pm - not a minute before. There's simply no one in the reception after lunch and prior to 3 pm. Parking easy and free on the rather spacious courtyard. Overall a nice experience (especially the restaurant), but improvements on the room standard could be welcome.

I went to Moustiers Sainte-Marie and Lake Sainte-Croix, one of the most beautiful towns in South France. The holiday season was so full that I couldn't find a place to live, so I had to go to Ibis, 30 kilometers away. I didn't have any hope for Ibis and I just had a place to live, but the real conditions are still very disappointing. I booked two rooms, one room had no towels at all. The air conditioner in the room is noisy and makes people unable to sleep. Woke up early the next day, fled in embarrassment, and won't live a second time.
