Hotel berhampiran Église Saint-Martin, Monthenault

Many English speaking tourists seem annoyed by the rude behavior of staff in this hotel and in France in general. They are not aware of the fact that it must be very frustrating for the staff to be confronted every day with people who are too ignorant to speak the local language and who do not even apologize for not doing so. I repeat here that I am shocked every time by the arrogant and self-absorbed attitude of these British tourists. This said, I still enjoy the location, setting, decoration, welcome, service, food, bar, pool and all other services of this hotel.

We stayed in this hotel as a 1 night stopover. This was our first and last time in a Premiere Classe hotel (can’t understand how they are able to use this name as first class it was not). My daughter’s bed had faeces stains on the sheets. There were animal hairs on one of the other beds. The room smelt damp. The bathroom was dirty and there was no soap. The beds were fairly comfortable however our sleep was very disturbed as the hotel is like a giant shipping container so every time anyone closes their door the entire hotel shakes and the only way to lock your door is to bang it very loudly. This went on through the night. We were on the ground floor so we could hear EVERYTHING going on in the rooms above us- people going to the toilet, talking, walking around. There were no complimentary toiletries or tv (as advertised) and no plug sockets for charging phones or laptops. We didn’t feel entirely safe as the doors open to the outside and unlike other French budget hotel chains there was no fencing around the car park. The complimentary breakfast was a positive (we were able to use plates unlike a previous reviewer) as was the room price and its proximity to the motorway but in future we will pay a bit more and stick to Ibis or Ibis budget hotels.

We stayed for one night in May en route to Germany. Easily found on the outskirts of town - car park just about large enough. Friendly and efficient staff. ‘Standard’ sized room, which was clean and comfortable. Bathroom OK with decentish shower pressure. Breakfast buffet was average. Couple of other eateries within reasonable walking distance. No complaints at the price!

Bon hôtel sauf chambre à l'arrière du bâtiment (côté voie rapide).

The hotel location is good if you are looking for a stop over driving back from the Uk. The hotel grounds are beautiful, very dog friendly as your 4 legged companions can run around and go for a nice walk around the forest. However, the charge for 1 dog is 45 EUR which is certainly the highest charge I’ve paid. Now, that’s when things start to get a bit awkward. The property advertised that they have car electric charging facilities . It’s actually not true. They let you plug your car to their mains, that is if you have your own cable to do so. Booked a room and a 5 course dinner with wine pairing. A decision which was driven by the advertised “Gastronomic Experience at a Gastronomic Fine Dinning Restaurant”. A bit like the car charger situation, the restaurant fell short. Let’s say it is a restaurant but struggled to find the “gastronomy” in it. The food was genuinely below average, to the extent that out of 5 courses, I’ve not eaten 4 of them (not worth the calories). The wines were average quality and didn’t come in sequence. I believe their concept of pairing was to serve you something, with something and hope for the best. Had a cocktail to start with as an aperitif. The house cocktail , with grapefruit juice, crème de cassis topped up with champagne. The result was some grapefruit juice a bit of crème de cassis top up with flat bottom of the bottle champagne. The cocktail was not good ! However, the fact that the cocktail was at 20 EUR , it made it even harder to swallow the beverage. I think this hotel did the big mistake of rising customer’s expectations with false advertising, get them to come, with no other options around , live the experience, how mediocre it can be, then leave . I know it’s a bit harsh! I must say, they’ve apologised, and they were so kind to offer us 2 glasses of champagne at 7:30AM before we got behind the wheels to drive off ;) . I smiled and declined, reminding them that drinking and driving is not what I would call “a match made in heaven”. To conclude, save your money and time . For similar or few EUR extra you can have a much agréable experience at Chateau Beaulieu near Calais.
