Logis - Hôtel & Restaurant du Tribunal

This hotel has a beautiful setting, in a tree lined square. Everything as you want to find in France. The reception, lovely and inviting. The male reception member we dealt with more than helpful, a credit to the hotel. So far, excellent. We had booked a Comfort room, at 137.50 euro. The room was somewhat of a disappointment. Not large by any means, the television small and sat on a high shelf, the tea tray had no cups, other than paper cups (for hot drinks) no milk, no tea spoons, other than wooden “fast food” stirrers…….this in a quality hotel at 137 euro a night….very poor standard. I obtained the cups, etc, after asking at reception for them. Where is the safe, or refrigerator….there aren’t any. Glasses in the bathroom…no, cheap paper cups again! The bathroom, well the shower has a hand held spray at the side of the bath….no attachment at body height to use it to shower. Am I expected to be a contortionist to get a shower? One of the two towel hangers on the wall were hanging loose, and the bath towels were on the small side. Certainly not luxury. And, not that I want to look at the underside of a toilet seat, but it was clearly yellow and stained…and this at a room costing 137 euro. I stayed in a Logis the previous night at 69 euro with better facilities. Are they cost cutting but keeping prices high? On the good news, the bed was comfortable! So we reserved a table for an evening meal. The main draw factor being the dining room is delightful. It had to be worth trying. That was fine…..until the cheese course which at 9 euro extra….was preselected by the hotel as “local” cheese .….no cheese choice / cheese trolley to choose from. This is not best quality, and the cheese was unremarkable. Wine, the base price at 38 euro….are you encouraging guests at these prices? Well, I choose a wine at that price, but it’s “unavailable “ so it was a Chablis at 48 euro. I was asked if I wanted breakfast, at a far from value 18 euro a head….I decided against it. Would I stay here again, no, not until the room prices reflect what is offered. You are paying for a beautiful old hotel, which was not reflected in the room. This review is from a client who has stayed at many, many hotels around the world, and indeed lived in South West France for 10 years. Disappointing.

Beautiful town, lots of history, great shops, excellent cafes, hotel Tribunal was first class and in great location
