Chateau de Sissi

I didn't stay here, but I had a long lunch here. Surroundings are lovely and the staff was attentive enough, but the food was entirely uninspired and totally without imagination. Pretty plates and very ordinary taste--nothing at all memorable: lunch for a single person for over $90 should be memorable. Foie gras was served dead cold with maybe a tablespoon of apple accompanying. Duck breast was somewhat overcooked and the sauce was so unremarkable that it might not have been there. Pear dessert was OK, but if you're going to poach a pear, add a little wine or calvados or even vanilla. Champagne flutes at 15 euros each are also not a deal. This was a birthday treat for myself, and it was a serious disappointment. Ordinary at best.

The hotel has an interesting history and we were received in a very friendly way. The rooms were good and had all what is needed. Dinner was excellent. Breakfast was good too. There are stairs to get to the rooms and no elevator. Hotel is not luxurious but very pleasant.

We didn’t stay and thank goodness for small mercies is all we can say. The place looked very tired and need a good revamp. We booked for dinner which was a disaster from the start. We ordered our aperitifs and perused the menu. One of our party is allergic to duck and another cannot eat fish. We asked if the kitchen could cook done chicken or possibly beef which we are told was not possible. We paid for our drinks and left in disgust, we traveled to Fécamp and had a lovely meal in a bistro.

The welcome at reception was perfunctory with no assistance offered with baggage. The room was small and no account had been taken of the well forecast exceptional weather conditions which meant we had to remove the huge thick duvet from the cover and sleep under the empty duvet cover. The shower head in the bathroom was too heavy for the flimsy fitting which my husband had to reassemble. The weight of the water made it fall forward , shooting water everywhere . It was reported but doubt it was fixed. Very thin towels. The only information in the room required using a QR code - with no overnight reception contact would have been tricky in an emergency. Everything seemed rather tired and formulaic, including the staff. A shame as it is a lovely venue and could be fantastic. The food is OK but the occasion somewhat marred by difficulties about where one was allowed to sit for a pre dinner drink. Really silly small niggles that need sorting out.

I have stayed here a number of times, solo and also with my son. On this visit it was good to see that the rooms have been redecorated and upgraded with a new bathroom, decent shower, new window and a comfortable bed. The heating appeared to be on 24 hours a day and it was very warm. Each day a fresh bottle of Evian was left in the room. Breakfast was good quality, with fresh fruit, cereal, orange juice nice yoghurt, fresh croissants and more . Dinner really excellent, I had the demi pension which makes it much easier to choose because not only could I have eaten everything on the menu but what I did have was some of the best food I have had anywhere. Unlike other comments I had no problem regarding the attitude of the staff, perhaps it's their reaction to arrogant English visitors! Lovely surroundings, totally peaceful and a genuine quality experience!

Excellent accueil téléphonique pour la réservation mais personnel un peu débordé lors de notre arrivée en milieu d'après-midi du fait d'une réception encore en cours. Chambre spacieuse avec boudoir mais eau chaude limitée en quantité. Repas très décevant: absence de la petite attention inclue dans la box( coupe de champagne) menu escapade équivalent à un menu brasserie. Le client devrait pouvoir moyennant supplément choisir d'autres plats tous les clients n'appréciant pas les huîtres ou la charcuterie ibérique en entrée, les glaces et sorbets ou le finger aux pommes en dessert. Le petit déjeuner est un buffet classique sans plat chaud. Le personnel est aimable et souriant mais ne fait pas grand cas de notre remarque sur l'absence du petit plus. Un geste commercial sur les services règlés nous aurait complètement satisfait.

Très belle batiste Chambre banal Repas banal Nous y avons été avec le passeport gourmand Pour 215 euros on s’attendait à autre chose A l’arrivée on nous dit normalement je ne prend pas de passeport gourmand au WE Fallait nous le dire la réservation conclusion Très déçu

Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de notre séjour. Repas délicat et savoureux début à la fin : félicitations aux cuisines. Service discret mais efficace et disponible. Chambres propres, bien équipées. Bonne literie. Petit déjeuner bien achalandé.

Avons de passés un moment merveilleux accueil et personnel très sympathique excellente cuisine avec des serveurs au petit soin dans un cadre magnifique petit déjeuner copieux moment magique dans ce château je ne peux que le conseiller à refaire
