La Mandarine

Not really a 5 star hotel. The facilities are ok but the rooms are very very small and outdated. The property also doesn’t have a gym, just a Pilates class where the instructor seemed annoyed that we didn’t speak French. If you’re looking for a high end 5 star hotel this isn’t it but it’s decent if you just want a nice place to stay.

A stay I remember, but not in a positive way. The thing is; everything is there: a lush garden, a pool, a restaurant. But the owners woefully lack the ability to accommodate their guests. The welcome was cold and businesslike, the restaurant was closed and for the owners don’t speak english and refuse to make an effort we felt very unwelcome. I do not recommend this place, but maybe that’s just me.

Extremely unfriendly and rude hosts who seem to have their own rules in ‘hospitality’. If you don’t speak French please stay away from the place for they don’t communicatie in a different way. A shame because the place looks great. Owner likes a glass or two but honestly he shouldn’t.

Hotel Restaurant La Mandarine disappointed us during our stay. Although we had booked rooms with the expectation of a restaurant, it turned out that the restaurant was closed in the middle of the high season. What was even more frustrating was that we received this message after we had already booked the rooms, and the booking could no longer be canceled. This lack of transparency negatively impacted our experience and made it challenging to find an alternative dining option. The hotel itself had decent facilities, and the rooms were comfortable, but not being able to enjoy a meal at their restaurant was a significant letdown. Hopefully, the hotel will communicate better about such closures in the future to prevent disappointments. Unfortunately, we must add more negative aspects to our experience at Hotel Restaurant La Mandarine. Besides the disappointment of the closed restaurant, we had to deal with a very unpleasant owner. The owner was very drunk, and his behavior was extremely unprofessional and rude. This created an uncomfortable atmosphere during our stay. Despite the hotel claiming to be pet-friendly, our dog was anything but welcome. Our loyal companion had endured a long day of travel and was in need of some exercise. However, the hotel strictly prohibited us from taking our dog to the large grassy area behind the hotel, where he could have run and played. Instead, we were ordered to keep him confined in the room, which was frustrating for both us and our poor pet. All in all, the negative aspects of our stay at Hotel Restaurant La Mandarine were quite disappointing. The closed restaurant, the unpleasant owner, and the not-so-pet-friendly attitude significantly affected our experience. We sincerely hope that the hotel will make improvements in the future to offer guests a more pleasant and welcoming stay. As of now, we cannot recommend this hotel to other travelers.

The pictures of a restaurant and life - nothing like what we experienced. It was very odd atmosphere. Restaurant was closed and no bar in site - after a long drive we had to then go to orange which was a little annoying - but orange is nice. The room on the website says ac - but we had a ceiling fan - it was too hot and think there should have been a stand alone one as too uncomfortable. All night long I could hear the road and a dog barked ALL night - not their fault but an obviously added issue for sleep. The pool was nice - the gardens nice - but seems so under utilised. Just seemed very sad, very much someone’s house - lad playing video games in private area - just seemed odd. For the money we stayed in a chateau which was cheaper than this. If you like rustic then this is for you. Maybe if bar and restaurant were open the rest would not have mattered.

Super vriendelijke ontvangst: Van zodra we de parking optreden werden we begroet! We voelden ons onmiddelijk welkom! Top locatie,niet ver van de snelweg zonder dat je er last van hebt. Het is er prachtig en authentiek, tot in de puntjes verzorgd. We hadden een mooie kamer(uitzicht veld/patio) en een heerlijke matras op het bed. Ook een fijne badkamer! 2 grote plafondventilators op de kamer. Ontbijt was lekker vers met zelfgemaakte confituren, tot zelfs zelfgemaakte fruitsalade.. De eigenaars werken met verse produkten,is van 's morgens tot' s avonds in de weer! We zijn echt super tevreden van onze verblijf in La Mandarine!
