It opened our eyes to how busy the Seine River is asa major trading route, and how attractive the Seine Valley is. The hotel was an ideal place to get to Giverny easily and we enjoyed 2 full days in Giverny, including a visit to Monet's garden and house. The château de Roche Gayon was a most interesting piece of history in the Seine Valley.

The rooms and property were *mostly* as described. However, the only way to access the building and rooms are with a QR code that is supposed to be sent 24 hours prior to check in. Unless you book directly with the hotel, you will not receive the QR code. (The property manager told us there is nothing they can do about this.) We ended up waiting nearly 4 hours for a QR code after arrival, which resulted in us missing the nearby chateau we had planned to visit. I booked 2 rooms at this property for our family of 4 because of it's proximity to some of the sights outside of Paris that we planned to visit, but one of the most important reasons I chose this property was the fact that it had air conditioning. Unfortunately, the air conditioner in both of our rooms was blowing hot air, regardless of what we set it on. We had to shut it off and sleep with the windows open, resulting in full access to our rooms from the outside. There was no security whatsoever with the windows open,which made for a very unsettling night's sleep. (I could have climbed out my window, walked to the room next door, and climbed right into their window.) Staff was friendly and felt genuinely bad about the mixup with the QR code. The food in the restaurant downstairs was mediocre at best. Would not stay here again.

Great spot by the river but can’t sit outside because of the wasps. Staff are great and helpful. Wifi really patchy. I had a pizza at the restaurant which was very nice and perfect as I was too tired to drive elsewhere. On-site boulangeries is amazing.

Lovely situation on the banks od the Seine
Not much to look at from the front, but the restuarant view and the bakery more than make up for it. Thought the road and rail noise might be a problem, but they weren't and had a good undisturbed sleep.Good selection of pastries for breakfast and overall a very pleasant stopover.

Messy and sloppy
Stunning location and views. Once i opened the door Infoind myaelf cat in a french restaurant/hôtel farce with such levels of incompetence and professional laissez aller that I thought they must be filming a television show. Absence of any cohesion regarding what the identity of the hotel is. A real disappointment and I actually felt angry that the beautiful physical space the hotel occupies was being so poorly treated by it.

Lovely hotel
Hotel has many positives which certainly out way a very few negatives Staff very helpful, clean rooms & lovely views Negatives reception closes on a Sunday evening as does the restaurant & bar, also it's closed on a Monday morning so there for there is no breakfast facility they do provide you with few pastries & tins of orange juice the night before, so if you've stay is over a Sunday into Monday there is no staff at the hotel which feels very strange on a Sunday night, as when we stayed their were only a couple of other guests. So if leaving on a Monday morning there is no one to check you out, but apart from that lovely place

Misleading
When we arrived (famished) the restaurant had just closed. We were able to get some items from the boulangerie. The next morning, we went down to get breakfast and everything was locked up tight. So~~what we thought was kind of a French mini bar in the room~~croissants in a bag, juice in a can, instant coffee~~evidently was the "breakfast available" which was advertised!

Clean, modern and comfortable.
A clean, modern and comfortable hotel. We had an evening meal here and it was excellent. In the morning we had an good continental breakfast i.e. coffee, tea, croissants and a variety of locally baked breads. On the negative side we were extremely disappointed that the restaurant is closed on a Sunday night and Monday morning. To be fair they gave us a complimentary can of juice and two croissants each for breakfast to eat in our room. Would we stay there again, yes but not on a Sunday night.

Good Rest before backroads in France!
We drove in late to start a 4 day tour of the back country roads in France and this was our first stop. Nice hotel, good location on the river, quiet. We missed dinner but they did serve us wine. Breakfast was excellent! Room was clean. Only issue was that staff spoke no English. Thanks to Google Translate, we were able to communicate enough. Good room for the money!

Characterful but not quite boutique
A modern hotel with a lively patisserie on the ground floor. Nice room with a wonderful view of the Seine and a good bathroom. Food at dinner was excellent. Service a bit haphazard - staff were friendly and hardworking but there weren't enough of them. We waited an hour for our dinner and our room wasn't made up until 5pm. No lift so needed to carry luggage up two flights of stairs. With a bit more investment it could really be 'boutique '.

Mixed thoughts
Terrible weather, the Hotel is 4 maybe 5 metres from The Seine. Yes the heavy rain period! But The Hotel no affected. Great helpful staff. But it closed Sunday and Monday! Yes, the reception, restaurant, bar etc closed! That is why prices are significantly less Sunday + Monday. Overall I guess the +'s outweigh the -'s but with bad weather as well, close! Also an odd place, hardly a village, no bar or restaurant within a walk. But literally on the Seine! With better weather and 7 day opening the Hotel would be great.

We wanted a couple of nights close to Giverney,without spending too much money. This hotel fitted the bill. As a basic hotel we weren't necessarily expecting a decent evening meal, but we were very pleasantly surprised and ate in the beautiful dining room for our two nights.

Very bad hotel and overpriced
This hotel is not a good example for Hotels.com, i seem to have paid over the standard price for a start? Main Road - very fast and Busy Railway line no footpaths from the hotel to anywhere Awful breakfast and very overpriced - nothing fresh, cereal on display from night before, cold pastries, dirty cups. all for 10euros?? Overall a really bad experience and overpriced, this would make me question using Hotels.com again.

Nice surprise near the Giverny's Garden
Nice surprise close to the Giverny's Gardens (10 minutes away). Rooms are basic but clean and recent. We had a large bathroom. Situated on top of a restaurant/bakery, it adds a nice atmosphere and smell! We were on the third floor and we did not hear anything. Wifi worked well (free) and free parking.

An interesting boutiquish hotel
Unimpressive exterior appearance - attached to a bakery on the banks of the Seine surprises with comfortable, good sized and very clean rooms. The decor in the rooms is pleasing and in room facilities very good. The restaurant serves "middle of the road" food - acceptable but not worth travelling for. BUT - the attention to customer service really leaves much to be desired. The restaurant is closed on Sunday and at about 10.30 pm on Sunday we were informed that there would be no breakfast on Monday and we were given a plastic bag of rather sad croissants and half a can of orange juice each. We tried to check out on the Monday morning but found that the building and the adjoining shop/bakery was completely deserted and locked up. Keys for incoming guests seemed to be left on a table in reception but there was no indication of how departing guests might settle their bills and leave. In all it was an "interesting" but not wholly unpleasant experience - and the bakery did provide very good bread when the dining room was available for breakfast.

Quiet hotel all rooms overlooking the Seine
Hotel on the Seine with good internet, air conditioning and comfortable beds. Rooms overlook the river and it's interesting boat traffic. Helpful Staff. Continental breakfast included in a nice setting also overlooking the River. Unfortunately the restaurant was booked solid for dinner but there was another wonderful restaurant serving French cuisine nearby that also overlooked the river. Other town amenities within short walking distance.

Two-night Stay Near the Toulouse Airport.
Two-night business trip to Toulouse, France. Hotel is conveniently located within 8 minute walk from the airport. A taxi will cost you 10 Euro. Set up is motel-like, room is simple but adequate for an overnight or two stay. Close to tram stop. There is a Carrefour City market less than a 20 minutes walk. Restaurant on premise was very good and the restaurant staff was very friendly. Only thing I wasn't happy about was the same woman at the reception desk for check-in and check-out who obviously lacks a personable personality.

La Ruche
Our stay at La Ruche was very enjoyable. The hotel is fully refurbished, and benefits from modern fixtures and fittings, friendly Staff and the advantage of most rooms having views of the Seine. The restaurant also has views and the food was excellent. The hotel runs a busy boulangerie and patisserie business, so all bread and cakes are freshly made on the premises! We will return!!

Going to Giverny? It's close, wonderful!
This place was all aces. Compared to the week prior, spent at another place in Auberville, it was like one was the stereotypical snooty and unpleasant, compared to exemplary! I spent a day at Giverny and plan to go back. No hesitation to recommend this great hotel/restaurant/bakery on the Seine. What a view!
