Hotel de l'Abbaye de Longpont

I wish I could give a 100 for friendliness . Where do I start: 1. The bed - was the most comfortable one we slept in a long time 2. Everybody was fantastic , helping us and accommodating all our needs 3. The food - was absolutely out of this world! Highly recommend!

Hôtel De L’Abbaye looking great this morning, we stopped by for Coffee and the service was great too. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked amazing from afar. The waiter was friendly and very informative about events in the forest and his to get there.

I think some of the recent reviews are a little harsh. We stayed in the family room (double bed and 2 singles, with ensuite) for 1 night. Our room was clean and quiet and the beds were comfortable, which are very important criteria for us. The hotel is in a pretty village, providing us with a good stop-over location for travelling through France to our final destination. However, there are a few teething problems, and although the new owner was helpful when we explained there was a problem, some prior booking information has not being passed from the old owner to the new. I agree with previous reviews that the website is misleading, suggesting that the restaurant is still open when it seems to be permanently closed, although breakfast is available.

Wow, talk about sad and neglected 'faded glory'. We did not stay at Hotel De'Abbaye as planned last night as it is nothing like represented by the pictures on the Priceline site. The internet website is helping to promote a facility that simply no longer exists in reality. The place is very clearly uncared for, unmaintained and, in truth, is a complete shambles. The building badly smells of damp, the bedrooms are dark, very small and decidedly grim and the decor/furniture/facilities are so old and tired as to at the point of no return. The restaurant was not open even though this was a Saturday evening and the host (who actually came across as being a rather deluded but pleasant and nice enough man) didn't seem to have any idea about the fact that the hotel he is running has become no more than a dump. There was a French couple who arrived very smartly dressed for a wedding in the village. They both entered the hotel looking happy and presumably had booked in for the evening, but came out wearing face masks and looking very annoyed. They drove away. It is simply not good enough (and very probably deceptive) for this hotel to be representing itself in the way that they are doing so online. The pictures are very deceptive and very obviously from about 2017/2018 when this premises was apparently very well run by the previous managers. We had to unnecessarily fork out for other (very nice) accommodation fairly nearby. I will be suggesting to Priceline (which I am doing separately) that someone urgently pays an unannounced visit so that they can see that this is a distinct misrepresentation of what is now available and see the grim truth with their own eyes.

Lovely weekend stay at Hotel de l'Abbaye. Great dinner, great hospitality, lovely team. Would recommend this trip if you are interested in hiking, horse-riding and nature. wonderful surroundings and many interesting places to visit close by.
