    The bathroom was in need of some minor repairs, but it and the room were very clean.

    The location was great for seeing Château De Fontainebleau, and the reception was very friendly and helpful.

    The machine for hot drinks was broken so could not have tea/coffee as no provision in rooms. It was unclear what to do if leaving before reception opened. There is no soundproofing between rooms.

    Comfortable room, hot shower with good pressure

    Only open from 4 to 7 pm for checking, so had to carry my travel bag around from arriving in the morning until the afternoon. Had trouble starting the A/C in heating mode on a rather cold night and no one obvious to ask for help.

    Centrally located, basic but very clean and sufficiently spacious, with a very comfortable bed and a modern bathroom, with friendly staff. Good value for money.

    I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Fontainebleau for the Chateau. Fantastic location for visiting the chateau. Just one block away, and two blocks from the downtown shops and cafés. Very simple hotel with not a lot of amenities, but the price was good and the location was perfect. We were even able to store our luggage after checkout so we could visit the chateau.

    The property is old, so no elevators - which isn't a problem until you're lugging a 25kg suitcase up two flights of rickety stairs. The room was a tad unclean, and there was a giant spider in the far corner, web and all ;)

    Amazing location, right behind the Chateau garden. Very friendly and accommodating staff, they let us check in at 12.30pm even though their policy clearly states 4pm. Filtered water dispenser (free), and half-decent coffee (1 euro) on the ground floor.

    Be aware of the hygiene issue

    We have been cycling in France for a month and this is the most unclean place we have stayed in. The bed sheet had stains and was dusty. They let us store our e-bikes in the storage where their garbage cans were and we woke up to see our handle bar rubber, the bike computer controller were chewed up badly by mice which left big holes and the circuit board exposed. There were also holes everywhere on our saddle bag and rack bag that we left on with the bike overnight. In addition, we filled one water bottle with their drinking machine, and the bottle has gotten pretty badly moldy inside the day after, while the other water bottle we had filled with tab water from the previous hotel was totally fine. This has never happened in our month long bike trip. I think either their drinking machine hasn’t been cleaned or the water source was contaminated. The worst is we had already drank half bottle of that water without knowing it… In short, be aware of the hygiene problem, and don’t take your bikes here.

    In a quiet alley.

    You cannot check in until 4 pm even to drop bags! They have a phone number to call but don’t answer it. This is not on their website. I had to sit in a nearby restaurant waiting for them to open. There is no AC.

    Location is good.

    I showed up but it turned out to be without an elevator (which they told me twice they do have one on the phone), forcing me to make another booking eventually as I have more than three large luggages and couldn’t carry them through the stairs. (Which is why I need to ensure there’s an elevator).
