Best Western Blanche De Castille Dourdan

Lovely historic building, very clean rooms, had tea and coffee making facilities in the room

We were not advised when checking in that a reservation was needed for the restaurant. We were squeezed in on a small table behind the restaurants door, as we were hotel residents, it was a shame as the food was very good. We had room308 and you could hear the lift and feel the vibration from it all night, so not a very good nights sleep. When mentioning on check out we were offered a free breakfast

We were surprised how lovely the whole hotel was and how friendly the atmosphere was. Check in was so fast - they were expecting us and had our key ready. The hotel accepts dogs so that was wonderful for us that we could travel with our small lovely dog. There was a separate sitting area near the entrance with a fire and comfortable chairs - so this made relaxing even better. The breakfast was good but the fresh baguettes from the local bakery were outstanding.

Most hotels have a small coffee machine with real coffee - they only had instant coffee so this was a small disappointment. In other hotels that accept dogs, dog bed and/or a drinking bowl is provided but we did not expect this actually and it did not affect our excellent impression of this historic hotel. It is just a suggestion. We only had one set of towels in the room but I am sure this was just an oversight from the hotel room service. All in all, everything was perfect.

We absolutely loved this hotel in this pretty medieval town. We had a suite which was huge and very good value for money. Parking was easy -which for us is important as we travel with bikes on the roof and rear. The room was clean and there was plentiful hot water for showers. A previous review mentions church bells ringing all night but we only heard them once at 8pm when we were sitting outside enjoying a drink in the late evening sun.

This was our second visit to this hotel. It serves as a convenient stop before going on to Eurotunnel. But it is a bit more than that. The hotel is comfortable, well laid out and has a decent bar and restaurant. It also offers plenty of parking. And all of this at the centre of a pretty little town.

The breakfast offering was quite extensive but of indifferent quality (rubber scrambled eggs, poor cereal selection).

Great location right in the centre of Dourdan. Friendly staff, nice terrace and great food in the restaurant.

We have stayed here before and was disappointed with the breakfast, we skipped it this time. We had to check out and leave quite early so we could get our car out - before the market started and the road was blocked. This was clearly explained though and is not the fault of the hotel.

Comfortable good sized room with queen sized bed and over bath shower. Absolutely fantastic location (right in the centre of the old town). Restaurant well appointed, food of high quality and prices reasonable. Staff very friendly and attentive - not always the case in France and nothing was too much trouble.

Very tight parking spaces in front of the hotel. There is an overflow car park though which we discovered upon leaving. Noisey family woke us at 2AM - but that wasn't the hotel's fault.

Comfortable bed. Free and convenient parking. Good air-con. Good water pressure.

Laughably small portions of food at restaurant: one very very thin and small piece of fois gras for 15 euros for example. Veal Milanese tiny and tough. Shrimp dish inedible - shrimp old and mushy. No refrigerator in room - how is that possible in a good hotel? Elevator exceptionally slow.Utterly unsympathetic to our having to cut our 3 night stay by one night due to family emergency.

Amazing restaurant, always packed at night. Reception Helped me through my experience of breaking down at the toll booth. Amazing friendly staff went out of their way to help a guest. Brilliant. Even talked to the tow truck company and the garage and gave he a lift to the garage. Best hotel experience in France.

Renovated old building in the centre of lovely town -- excellent ambiance. Good dinner. Clean and comfortable room. pleasant staff. Good parking and access.

With the window open, there was some noise from patrons leaving the hotel (up to 2:30am) but this can be expected from such a centrally located hotel.

Room was clean and big, great french window, calm, big bathroom, good beds, room service worked okey, nice big terrace and bar at the ground floor where you can have drinks, good breakfast, check-inn and check out fast. Great location in the middle of Dourdan town. You can walk from train station here.

Staff did´nt speak hardly any English, so it did cause some communication problems and funny misunderstandings. However it did´t bother me that much, I was on holiday and things got sorted out. Would have preferred a little more active table service at a terrace, however ordering from the bar worked well.
