Food wonderful - truly delicious. The room left a lot to be desired - very cramped and no air-conditioning. We didn`t get much sleep thanks to the mosquitoes. Staff very friendly.

Great hotel

The only down side of our stay in this hotel was that there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room at all, and we really would have appreciated this.

Great Hotel

Excellent check in and we found our room easily and quickly. After a walk around, we decided to eat in the hotel restaurant. It was quite busy and the staff were run off their feet. Probably could have done with two extra wait staff. Our food was excellent and worth the wait. There was quite a bit of noise from other guests on the ground floor, teenagers running around the parked cars. All went quiet when a big storm hit, thankfully.

Terrible customer service

I was overcharged and had to wait nearly two weeks for a refund. The rooms are not very nice, while they are clean there is horrible lino in the room, cheap cushions and the shower leaked all over the bathroom. When returning to my room in the afternoon, the door was left wide open, security to get into the hotel was non existent which meant anyone could have walked in and stolen all of my things. When checking out of the hotel, while my friend was given a receipt, I wasn't, then when I asked was told while the girl was laughing there wasn't any, I asked her if she found this funny and she continued to laugh and said yes? When giving my feedback of the above over email while trying to get my money back there really was no sort of apology. So my advise is, if there is somewhere else to stay in the town then do!

Extremely good for the price

This was not an expensive stay but the hotel was clean and tidy with friendly, helpful staff, free parking and an excellent location on the main drag of shops. The room was a fair size with an excellent shower in the en-suite. Wi-Fi was free and fast and the 8.50euro breakfast was a decent buffet. Fontenay itself is a little unloved perhaps, with a number of closed down shops and restaurants. Great for an overnight stay if you're breaking a long journey.
