"Very clean, great location, and unique layout around a central courtyard. The standard rooms are small with what would be closer to a 'double' bed in North America, so if you need more space go with the larger rooms and beds--it was perfectly adequate for our needs. Very close to the Chateau, main shopping and market area, restaurants and the wonderful park paths for walking. We found it a good alternative location to fly out from Charles de Gaulle airport the next afternoon, but your experience may vary if you don't like driving or you have an early flight."
"Great hotel, really well appointed with nice decor and comfortable rooms and beds. Ours was a suite and we had two rooms which also provided a separate toilet from the bathroom. This was also very nice. The food was great and the pool and sauna were lovely."

"This Hotel is nicely maintained and has a good attention to detail. Examples of this being the cold water dispenser in the lobby. The pool area is perfect with a good mix of shade and sun and really refreshing in the summer.
The staff are fantastic and the bar serves drinks nicely. Our room was okay though in need of a few updates but we did have a basic class room. They have more modernised bathrooms in the higher class of room which could be worth the money. The bed is large and comfortable. The curtains black the room out well.
One thing that is great in the room is a smart TV that actually works properly and doesn't have half its features disabled. Very nice feature when you are from abroad.
My only complaint is the restaurant which I wouldn't recommend. The setting is lovely but the menu is very limited, and there is no lunch menu for cheaper lunchtime options. It's over priced and trying to serve fancier food but without the quality to back up the price. We ordered a steak which was small and not cooked to order. When I sent it back they got closer on a 2nd attempt but still didn't seem cooked to medium rare properly. The steak also didn't feel high quality to me. No simpler options like a burger or a pizza. It's not awful but feels like missed potential and I think there are better options out the hotel.
Would highly recommend this hotel!"
"The location is fantastic - with views of the Fontainebleau Chateau and within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Our room was elegantly appointed, very clean, and thoughtfully presented. The beds were very comfortable and the room contained eerything we needed. We easy found uber rides to get to Vaux le Vicompte and Barbizon. Our host Philip and his brother were perfect hosts, this hotel having been in their family for 3 generations - they have kept it traditional and yet have discreetly provided all the modern conveniences.
