Hostellerie du Vieux Pérouges

Central in Perouges and very nice experience staying in a medieval village and hotel. Service is great and restaurant is very good, although a bit expensive. Owner even accepted to change reservation last minute - higgly recommended for a time travel to another age!

I stayed here one night with my wife in April 2024. Even though I was aware that the bedrooms are located in a medieval building, it still came as a surprise that the heating in the bedroom was totally inadequate. The huge iron radiators were permanently on, albeit they were "tepid" on the inflow and very "cold" on the outflow, with any heat being lost into a very draughty room which did not get warm at all. My request at reception fell on deaf ears as nothing was done to remedy the problem. It was 5 deg C outside and not a lot warmer inside. It would have been better to put them on full blast for a couple of hours in the morning and the same in the evening but low temp all day just wastes money 'for everybody'. Particularly when you are paying 187 euros for room only., no breakfast. This type of period environment is fine when its 20 deg C outside but not when it's winter conditions. We left 'very early' the next morning without breakfast and enjoyed the warmth of the car...The cracks and mould in the bathroom was reminiscent of a 2 star hotel not one that charges the prices as shown above. See attached picture. Dinner in the restaurant was fine and enjoyable.

Fantastic location and a wonderful hotel. The room we stayed in was lovely, comfortable bed and a first class bathroom The private parking was welcome and easily accessible. But..... On arrival we were not informed about the availability of WiFi and there was no mention of it in the sketchy info pack in the room. The main hotel building was only open for breakfast, so without a courtesy tray in the room we couldn't even get a glass of water. Breakfast was terrible value for money. Apart from it being very quiet overnight which afforded a good night's sleep I would not bother staying there again. Overall, terrible value for money. And it's not cheap.
