Le Châtel - Royat

Nice and helpful staff. The rooms are clean, but a little small. If you want larger rooms choose the family room. Nice breakfast and restaurant.

I appreciated much the little retro look, the feeling of a time trip to old France... you could wonder if the Tour Eiffel is visible from the windows. But the WLAN was better than in many more expensive hotels, the shower had very precise regulations for the temperature, the bed had first class bed linen. Not all rooms have been updated, and that may explain the variation of comments. Surely the building shows that it was built a few centuries ago, but I would really and carefully define the maintenance it has received. During my first visit, I only wrote 3 stars, but after I returned there more times, I think this hotel deserves at least 4 stars. And I am really glad that I returned there: the prices are very reasonable for the overall quality level.

Rooms: Decorating a bit desureate but functional and very clean. Bathroom with shower. Rooms: 4 Service: 5 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Quiet, Great value

I never thought I would feel as threatened in a hotel as I did here. The owner is an aggressive person and treated us in an utterly terrible way when we called reception, putting us on edge the whole night. He even snatched the card out of my husbands hand when we went to pay in the morning. He should not work in a hotel and I strongly warn against anyone going here.

DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL. The owner is a ticking bomb. I went out for a dinner, and once I came back, I called reception to help me with the wifi since I had some work to do. The owner came to my room visibly in rage, in a fit that it was clear he could turn violent any moment because he thought it was too late for anyone to use the internet. In other words, calling 9 for reception can wake him up, which flares up his temper. Eventually after I managed to diffuse the situation, he kept insisting to see my wife, who was taking a shower, going as far as touching her underwear for her to dress to talk to him. Absolute mental. I had to barricade my door through the night and barely sleep because I had no idea what this person was capable of. I'm expecting whatever feedback they might provide here is gonna be a lie. The hotel also stinks of cigarettes. Again, DON'T stay. The owner is clearly a person prone to violent outburst.
