Les Hospitaliers

very nice and friendly personnel - breathtaking views from the rooftop terrasse - beautiful medieval village

So bad that we had to leave and find another hotel. We had ordered the "junior suite"; to access it, we ascended a staircase and hovering and lighting on the attendant's head were wasps. Inside, the smell of closed and mould was distinct. The room was dark and hot. I had read that they provided fans and the nice woman immediately retrieved a fan for us. However, opening the windows and hoping the smell would dissipate we realized we would not be able to sleep with the odor, even though cleaning products were evidently used to try to mask the underlying problem. The lady did offer me another room but this too required access through a mouldy-smelling corridor. That room did seem better but at that point the bloom was definitely off the rose. We asked for a refund and were told it was not possible. I later sent a letter to the director who did not even respond. Oh: The blue waters in the swimming pool posted on the website were green. One could not even see the bottom of the pool. We had been looking forward to the restaurant which also had received good reviews but we skipped that too. Highly un-recommend this unpleasant, greatly in need of renovation and cleansing castle. I feel that we were treated very unfairly; they kept the money and did not provide the service. Lodgers beware.

We spent three nights staying at this hotel while we visited Dieulefit and other nearby towns. Our room was clean and tidy with a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains. While I didn’t take a dip in the pool, I did sit poolside to read. We had both dinner there one evening and breakfast one morning. Both were excellent. The restaurant was particularly impressive. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. The rooms a simple, clean and tidy. Had all the things we need and the closets were stocked with extras. It’s located on the grounds of castle ruins which creates an interesting set of grounds to explore. It was quite warm while we were there and they don’t have A/C, but they did provide a fine that met the need. We will certainly visit again.

I booked a room at the last minute and asked for a room on the ground floor as we had to bring our elderly dog - to be honest, the comfort room ( number 2) was rather small for 2 people plus a dog. No way to do my yoga! The room was also below the restaurant so some noise from the restaurant above and as the staff cleared up. luckily, by 11 am all was quiet though. we loved the hotel though, the situation, the service, and the restaurant dinner was superb. Breakfast on the terrace was a reat as well. we will happily go back but will ask for a larger room in a different location

Everything about Les Hospitaliers is marvelous, the view, the rooms, the food, the staff! Bravo! Location and view are superb! Poet Laval is a beautiful little stone village which tumbles down the hill in a most charming manner. We loved every minute of our stay there.

Hiking great in the area. Lovely town nearby. Room was large and clean with nice views. Staff was kind and helpful. It helped that we knew a bit of French, but fear not. Google translate was helpful if the Wi-Fi was working. That was my only complaint, Wifi was pretty weak, but it was a good opportunity to put away the phones
