Hôtel Orchidées

I stayed at this hotel for three nights with my wife and wasn’t disappointed. I had stayed here twice before, a few years ago and it is still of a high standard. The staff were all helpful and engaging, our room was adequate for a short stay, the only thing l would like to see changed would be the provision of a kettle in the room to make coffee or tea with but not a game changer. Breakfast was adequate and a reasonable choice of food to choose from, there are no hot dishes to be had unless you include hard boiled eggs. The restaurant is worth a special mention as it has a good selection of dishes and wines to suit everyone, the prices are also very competitive. Service was prompt throughout our meals and we opted to eat here for the three nights we stayed. There was no need to pre book a table. Don’t be put off by the location which is close by an industrial estate, the location is quiet but really convenient for either going into Verdun or visiting the many WW1 battlefields and forts. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

We stayed on a Sunday night May en route back from Germany. Chose this place due to the restaurant being open on a Sunday. Well tucked away on the outskirts of town in a residential/commercial area - at least that’s the way the GPS took us in. Decent sized free car park. Friendly, efficient enough check in. Clearly the rooms have been refurbished to a high standard, being modern, clean and comfortable - but are barely adequate in size for even one person, let alone two. Bathroom clean and well equipped, but as per the bedroom, tiny. Functional enough to arrive at 2000, eat and crash into bed for an early start! The restaurant produced a really good standard of dinner at a reasonable price. Plenty of ‘locals’ dining there. Coach parties visiting Verdun stop over here. We didn’t eat breakfast due to an early start. Would only stay again due to the restaurant being open on a Sunday.

This hotel is well located for the battlefields but not for Verdun itself. We stayed three nights as we were touring the area. Our room was rather disappointing, small with a blind on the inside rather than outside. It clearly could do with shutters. I mentioned that the loo needed to be fixed but nothing happened and again when we left. The loo holder was broken, so not great to stick stick behind a tap or having it behind your back. I had also to ask for a loo roll as hardly any had been left in the room. We ate only one night as food was not great. There are much better restaurants in Verdun or even nearby such as chez Mamie. Breakfast was buffet style, complete with television and news reports.

Lovely little hotel/restaurant. We picked this for where it was, as doing a tour of the area, but we always choose Logis due to the quality of their restaurants saving us from having to find a place to eat in the evening and able to drink without driving.

SI VOUS NE MESUREZ PAS 1M80 CET HOTEL N'EST PAS FAIT POUR VOUS (les cintres sont beaucoup trop hauts pour quelqu'un qui mesure 1m55 et j'ai dû demander un ESCABEAU ! - voir photo jointe !) - IL N'Y AVAIT PAS DE ROULEAU DE PAPIER TOILETTE DE RECHANGE, nous avons du en demander un... un seul verre sur les tables, ce sont des "basiques" qui devraient être systématiques dans un hôtel de ce type...

The hotel is a little bit remote, with s nice swimming pool, ping pong table, boule field and garden. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the owner actually picked us up from the local airfield when no taxi was available, it is a place where you feel very welcome. The restaurant is fantastic, no need to explore the village. Rooms and breakfast are ok. A nice stay, I definitely recomment it abd will be back.
