Hotel Orchidees
Having no prior travel to Europe, I felt the hotel, the owners, and the staff went out of their way to ensure our experience was superb. The cuisine was excellent, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and easily accessible. The owners helped us get local information about the region and the Verdun battlefields that we visited. They treated us like relatives from America and thru the use of a translation app, we could talk about our experiences. I believe that when I think of France, every experience will always be compared to my stay in the Hotel Orchidees since they have set the standard for hospitality.

Near Verdun Battlefields
The staff were friendly and helpful, able to help with English when my basic French couldn’t get me by. Our room was not huge, but we don’t need big rooms for just the two of us. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The hotel is quiet and has a nice territorial view with a pool. It’s within a few minutes drive from the battlefields of Verdun so you’ll be there quickly for touring. It is not in downtown Verdun so if you are looking for a city hotel this one is not for you. But if you’d like a nice, quiet hotel with a fabulous restaurant on site that serves breakfast, too. This is a great choice!

For my purposes - visiting the Verdun WWI sites, the location of the hotel was excellent. Staff friendly and helpful with brochures, advice. Too tired at end of day to go out for dinner. so dined in. It turned into a 2-hour affair - seemed a bit much.

The hotel was comfortable and clean, the staff was friendly and accomodating; English spoken. The hotel is outside of town and very close to the battlefields, which was the primary reason for our visit. Definitely needed a car to get around and navigating was quite easy.

Close to WWI sites
Picked this Hotel because of its location. It is very close to the WWI sites and easy access without having to go through the town, which is crowded and hard to find your way around. The rooms are tiny but clean. I gave it a 3 because of the size of the room and shower. The shower is so small you can't turnaround. Because it is outside of town, it is quiet at night and our room had a big window that we could open. Eat at the restaurant, you will be surprised by the quality of food. It was great. We both had knuckle of lamb and it was delicious! The breakfast buffet ,that is extra, is well worth the money. Buffet style with a lot of variety. Hard boiled eggs are available along wth the tradtional meats and cheeses, a variety of breads, cereals, fruit, yogurt, juices. They have an automatic coffee machine but it does not taste like instant coffee.

Economical Hotel with staff that make it more.
The room has the bare essentials, but the cost was right and the staff (seemed like a family business) made it an enjoyable stay. They were anxious to please and quick to respond to any request.

Small room, but great staff and parking
The hotel was in a nice, quiet, in an off the main road location - not too far from other restaurants. Parking was excellent. Staff very friendly, helpful and spoke English (I don't speak French). The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom nice and clean, but in general extremely small - could barely get our suitcases between the wall and bed, and only one shelf for two suitcases (double room). Breakfast didn't have a very big selection, and all of the eggs were gone by the time I got there, only a few mintues after a big group. But food that was available was fresh and tasty. Being my first time in France, I'm not sure if this is the norm or the exception, but I would still recommend the hotel with caveats.

Good service, excellent meal in reastaurant.
Hotel Orchidees is situated on the edge of Verdun by an industrial park but it is nice and quiet at night. If you are visiting Verdun for the 1916-18 battlefields it is ideally placed to get to the Ossiary and Fort Douaumont without having to go through Verdun itself.

Pleasant hotel at base of the hill of Fort Douamont. The road by the hotel leads directly to the memorial and the fort. Good dinner for a price less than the usual. Typical breakfast. Hotel staff were friendly with adequate English.

OK hotel, Scruffy surroundings.
Stayed 2 nights with friends. Rooms quite small. Owner seemed more interested in his computer than serving us at the bar when we arrived. Informed on checking in that restaurant would be closed on Saturday night. At breakfast on Saturday, when asked, owner stated Bar would be available from 21.00. After going out for dinner, we arrived back at hotel at 21.10 to find the place locked up and hotel in darkness. After entering through the guest entrance we attempted to go through to the guest lounge but found the door locked. As there was nowhere else to sit and no means of refreshments, we retired to our rooms at 21.15!! We arrived for breakfast at 08.00. The place was still locked with bread and croissants on the doorstep!! At approx. 08.30, another guest knocked up people living in bungalow at side of car park. A lady, who it transpired was the owners mother came across to open up at 08.45. We eventually managed to have breakfast at 09.00. On checking out at 09.40, lady was embarrassed and apologised, there was no mention of any reduction as a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience. I would definitely not recommend this hotel and will never stay again.

This was a one night stopover whilst doing some family history research. Verdun has not much choice in terms of hotels and this one is about two miles out of the centre. On the plus side the staff were good and the room was clean. On the downside lounge/ bar amenities were minimal and overall the hotel felt like it was built out of portacabins. It all felt very flimsy. Next time I return I will look further afield.

excellent hotel!
This was a great hotel! Wanted to stay close to the Verdun Battle field and literally a stones throw from it. The hotel was incredibly clean and comfortable. The dinner was out of this world I had escargot and kangaroo steak and plums with chocolate and Ice cream, a 5 star meal for 25 euros! The staff helped us out so much, thank you for a great stay. And to Albert our dear friend thank you for the tour of the battle field it was once in a lifetime thing I will never forget! The town of Verdun is just gorgeous it is a must see!

Basic but Good
We had one night at Hotel Orchidées. The room was very small but clean and well fitted out. Dinner in the restaurant was absolutely superb and breakfast was good - fresh and plentiful. The bar and outside seating was basic but pleasant and that sums up the hotel - basic but good. Well priced and well located (don't be put off by the light industrial look of the drive up to the Hotel - it is insignificant). Overall, very pleasant and good value for money.

Good value for money stop over
although located in a small industrial estate on the outskirts of town -nevertheless the interior and exterior of the hotel is pleasant enough and when in your room, the bar or seated outside, you are not aware of the surroundings. The rooms are clean and reasonably furnished for the price and there is a heated pool. I couldn't fault the service. Verdun itself is a very nice town and the WW1 forts and battlefields would keep most people busy for an afternoon.

just outside of town
The staff at the hotel was wonderful, very helpful. Their ability to speak some English certainly helped, as our French is limited. Parts of the hotel have been updated. The hotel is clean and the food exceeded our expectations. The room is on the smaller side, but quiet and clean. The hotel is east of town and a car would be essential to a stay here.
