Hotel berhampiran Porche de la ferme, Saint-Jean-aux-Bois

Arrived late. The staff very helpful and we were given the last room on the hallway, 14 or 15. The bathroom shower stall did not have a curtain and showering would have splattered water all over. I didn’t therefore shower. On leaving, I did notice that as the other rooms were being cleaned and the doors were opened, all had a nice enclosed bathtub. Obviously we were given a handicapped accessible room but luckily we aren’t handicapped. This happened twice during the trip (Nhow in London).

We booked this hotel as an overnight stay on our way to Rouen and am I glad it was only one night . This hotel is completely run down . The reception was out of the 70s . Although we had booked well in advance,when we arrived they had us booked in for the next day. Fortunately they said they had a room for us . I’m not surprised they did as I don’t think they are Overbooked ever . The whole hotel is very tiered, from the dark hallways (dark Red walls with dark blue wood work and dark linoleum floors) to the rooms with brown painted walls . The furniture was old and worn wood and the carpet (green) were stained in several places. There was coffee and tea facilities in the room but it was powdered milk so we didn’t bother with that . The bathroom was very small and completely white tiled but as with the room could do with completely being upgraded. The shower only had one pressure and that was fast and hard. If you were showing the toilet also got a good dousing as well. Breakfast (well if you call one pain au chocolate and a bit of bread breakfast) was a disappointment . We asked for more pain au chocolates and croissants but we’re told it was all gone ( it was 8.30 in the morning) . There was eggs if you boiled them yourself. My wife did try but I think she would still be standing there a day later as the egg boiler was ancient . Some of the tables had wood and metal garden chairs to sit on . On leaving they tried to charge us for two days breakfast even though we had only stayed one night . We soon corrected that . I can only say “don’t stay at this hotel “ .

We stayed by chance at this north of Paris Kyriad. It was recently refurbished and it’s certainly much more roomy and pleasant than many Kyriad hotels. We dined in the excellent restaurant next door, but I’m not sure if the ownership is the same. Breakfast in the hotel was poor, even by Kyriad standards. Most concerning is an obvious lack of staff training for receptionists. I speak French, but neither the evening or morning receptionist spoke any English, which is poor for the hospitality industry. The morning receptionist presented no smile and exuded the attitude of ‘why are you here?’. Such a pity.

J'ai passé une nuit du 14 au 15 septembre et j'ai été agréablement surpris. Chambre et sdb nickel. Très calme et accueil très chaleureux. Le seul petit bémol c'était à cause d'un petit souci niveau draps. J'en ai fait part le lendemain à la personne qui m'a accueillie à mon arrivée. Je pense qu'il se souviendra de moi😊 Mais honnêtement il n'y a rien a redire. Je reviendrais si l'occasion se présente et je recommande à 200% En plus on peut se faire livrer un repas. Parking fermé. La WiFi je n'ai pas pu m'y connecter car trop de monde peut-être mais ça ce n'est qu'un détail insignifiant. Je retiens le plus important Accueil Sympathie Propreté de la chambre et la sdb Je vous dis à bientôt et ne changez rien

We have just returned from a lovely stay at Chateau le Quesnoy. Antoine was a wonderful host and very attentive throughout our stay, ensuring we had all we needed. We stayed in the Chambres familiales – Le Chalet and the rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean – with very comfortable beds. Chilled water, a coffee machine and excellent wi-fi made the rooms all the more relaxing and enjoyable. The breakfast was delicious (with freshly-squeezed orange juice, fresh croissants and homemade jam and honey) and the hotel provided us with a well-located base to travel between Lille and Paris for the Olympics. We also visited Compiegne and Chantilly during our stay, which are both nearby. If we are ever in the area again, we will definitely return.
