La Maison de Rhodes le Champ des Oiseaux

The hotel is located along the historical Rue Linard Gonthier, right next door to the Cathedral. Parking is very limited, there are only six spots in front so you may end up in the underground public car park along Quai Dampierre, a short walk away. Confusingly, the whole place consists of two hotels fused together with shared reception. Le Maison is on the right. There are creaking floors, wooden staircases and beams all over place, all adding to the character of the place. There is a tiny swimming pool, a large bath tub really at the back and it has only space for six sun- loungers. Our Junior Suite was located on the first floor. The bedroom area was very spacious, middle part had tea and coffee-making facilities and some extra seating. The bed was huge and very comfortable. There was a huge wardrobe with hangers but otherwise storage space was quite limited. TV had no English-speaking channels. WiFi signal was rather patchy. The bathroom was of standard size, with a separate toilet. Bathrobes and slippers were provided. We dined at the hotel, al fresco, in the courtyard. The food was delicious and the wine list more than adequate. Breakfast was served in the courtyard on the other side. It was served to order and the hot dishes were very tasty. The reception staff were just outstanding. Very helpful, knowledgeable and always with a ready smile they've made us very welcome at La Maison.

Our top favourite hotel! Architecture, ambience, friendly service, delicious food, - for us, everything is perfect here. About 8 visits now and we’re never disappointed!

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at La Maison de Rhodes. Kamil and Julie gave us such a warm and charming welcome—it’s clear this hotel is a true family gem. The historical setting is stunning, beautifully decorated, with cozy areas perfect for unwinding. The swimming pool and picturesque garden, complete with a few inviting chairs, made for a lovely spot to relax. We often drive through France from London to reach Geneva or the ski resorts, and this was such a delightful stopover. There’s so much to discover in Troyes—we can’t wait to return!

This hotel is definitely dining out on its good location and the fact that it is a beautiful old historic building. We do not understand the five star rating. There was no air conditioning in our room which made for an uncomfortable night in mid August. The staff knew it wasn’t working but pretended it was. As soon as I raised the issue, they said that it works best at the 20 degree rather than 16 degree temperature setting. The aircon unit didn’t produce cooled air but just acted as a fan. Each time I raised the issue of the aircon, the staff pretended it worked and then got annoyed with me for suggesting the room was not worth what we paid for it. The water flow rate was so slow that the bath literally took 40 minutes to run. There was no proper shower option (just a handheld shower over the bath which trickled water out). There was no fridge in the room. Just a small bottle of water, kettle and teas. The breakfast wasn’t worth the money charged for it - very little choice. I see that the manager of the hotel has been sending for a couple of years now a stock response to poor reviews saying that they are sorry for the experience and will look to improve things. I can assure you that things have not improved!

We had email exchanges with La Maison De Rhodes before our visit so we were already confident that this was a well-run hotel, but the reality was so much more. Firstly, inside and outside it is stunning - the old stone and wood frontage of the property and wrought ironwork lead you to a wood beamed interior, exposed brickwork, lots of dried flowers and plump sofas. Our room was stunning with ceiling beams, white linen and stone floors and a very comfortable bed. The location was ideal, down a side street by the Cathedral. The staff were friendly and very helpful, providing restaurant recommendations, arranging taxis etc We had a really lovely 3 days in Troyes and La Maison de Rhodes was a huge part of that.

Beautiful stay, would highly recommend! Beautiful hotel in keeping with the rustic medieval surroundings however clean modern and stylish, the perfect combo! Everyone at the hotel is so lovely too, so helpful and friendly.
