    Difficult to communicate - it’s more of a bed & breakfast than a hotel, staff is on & off, poor English skills.

    Small room, but typical for France. Mattress was uncomfortable. Central location, easy to get in/out, guidance from the staff on access

    Only open from 4 to 7 pm for checking, so had to carry my travel bag around from arriving in the morning until the afternoon. Had trouble starting the A/C in heating mode on a rather cold night and no one obvious to ask for help.

    Centrally located, basic but very clean and sufficiently spacious, with a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom, with friendly staff. Good value for money.

    The property is old, so no elevators - which isn't a problem until you're lugging a 25kg suitcase up two flights of rickety stairs. The room was a tad unclean, and there was a giant spider in the far corner, web and all ;)

    Amazing location, right behind the Chateau garden. Very friendly and accommodating staff, they let us check in at 12.30pm even though their policy clearly states 4pm. Filtered water dispenser (free), and half-decent coffee (1 euro) on the ground floor.

    This hotel is too expensive for what it is. It is a perfectly pleasant two star hotel ; small rooms with thin walls, tired decor in the communal areas and a simple breakfast which was not worth 10 euros. Our room only had a sky light window, which we couldn't open, which was quite claustrophobic. The shower was not very powerful and there was no shower gel in the dispenser.

    The owner was very welcoming. The bed was comfy and the room was adequate for a short stay. There was air conditioning, which was a welcome relief on a hot day with a window that we couldn't open. The hotel was well situated, very near the park and within walking distance of the castle. I would stay here again if the price was lowered by a third!

    There weren't any place to park on a street. The room was not sound proof and unlucky me, the family arrived next door around 1 am. The air in the room was really dry..

    The location was really nice, close to cafes and shops. Right in the city centre.

    The bathroom. The window had no blind for privacy from the appartements directly opposite. They could see in to the shower. Person in room behind had their tv on loud enough that it woke us up in the night and they kept it on for hours. The entrance is not where you expect and feels run down but the friendly staff made up for this. Parking is difficult in Fontainebleau and it is paid. Not expensive for 1 night but very difficult to find a spot.

    Staff very welcoming and they made & served a great breakfast. You can easily walk into the centre to eat and visit the place. Beds comfortable and rooms had all we needed for 1 night.

    I had to call to check in. Phone was out of battery, had to find a place to charge it ...... I was expecting staff to be available to check in. (arrived 2:00 pm !)

    Great location: Just a block away from the Chateau de Fontainebleau. Many restaurants choices within 2 blocks.
