DOMITYS - Le château de la Pilule

Seemed OK at first. Accessible 2-bed apartment No. 013 as expected. Superficially, seemed clean enough. But then we noticed filth atop skirting boards, black patches on white net curtains in front of the trickle vents, and dirty toilet (see photos). The kitchen has minimal equipment - a couple of plates and cups and some cutlery. No sharp knife, no can opener, no corkscrew, no sink plug or washing-up bowl. Second bedroom furnished only with two beds, one headboard and one bedside table. Not even a bedside light of any kind, or a hook to hang something on. We won't return.

A well hidden jem Perfect stay other than signage to access through the gates and where to check in - this was frustrating after a long drive. It is located in a large garden along with a care home and it was difficult to locate where the reception was and where the building was. We arrived late but we were welcomed by a very very helpful and courteous receptionist. Now we know where everything is we will definitely stay there again.

Give it a Pass Billed as having a restaurant, but they had none. No restaurant closer than a 1/4 mile radius. Breakfast was not worth having. The main facility was a seniors retirement home! Old hotel building is nice but common areas could use a good cleaning.

Lovely stop. A nice change from Calais Beautiful Chateau but a moment of panic when told to enter the Seniors Living Home in the same grounds. This should be clearer in the description. The reception and pool/sauna, bar and breakfast are in the Senior Residence. This said everything was perfect and very comfortable. Only a few issues, the shower went cold very quickly for both myself and my husband. Also, extra pillows for the bed and some instructions for the TV would be great . I’m usually pretty good but couldn’t figure the sound out.

QUEL DOMMAGE ! QUEL DOMMAGE ! Réservation de 2 chambres pour 2 nuits Très jolie bâtisse, superbe hall et au premier coup d’œil très jolie chambre bien décorée. Mais on s’aperçoit ensuite que l’entretien laisse à désirer : Papier de mur déchiré, petits bois de fenêtre prêt à tomber.,etc …,que le ménage est fait succinctement :Toile d’araignée et araignées ,vitres très sales ,toilettes etc… Beaucoup de manques dans les 2 chambres : Pas de papier toilette, flacons de savon vide, pas de bouilloire mais des doses de café, pas de poubelles etc… Dans une des chambres pas de penderie, dans l’autre, une penderie mais pas de cintre. Après réclamation, nous avons dû changer de chambre car pas d’eau froide au lavabo, problème déjà connu mais pas réglé et on installe quand même des clients dans cette chambre On nous donne un badge sensé tout ouvrir dont la grille d’entrée mais le soir cela ne marche pas donc ; obligé d’appeler : Problème également connu Le deuxième jour, les chambres n’ont pas été faites : Lits non faits (Impensable pour un hôtel) et le badge d’une des chambres ne fonctionne plus En conclusion, quel dommage, sans entretien et sans ménage sérieux, ce joyau va vite se dégrader et avoir une triste image auprès des éventuels clients Un manque de professionnalisme de la direction et de la gouvernante Par contre, personnel d’accueil et de nuit très très sympa et serviable.

Although not entirely clear at time of booking, this is a hotel doubling as a residential home (or the other way around). The apartment was spacious, with a pool and staff very friendly. It was clean and parking was easy. No chance of a slightly early check in though (we arrived at 14.20) and it seemed the air con would not work. Giving 5 stars as I would stay again for the price and location.
