Hotel Joyet de Maubec

The hotel is very nice. Rooms are comfortable and breakfast was good. However, our stay was pretty terrible I’m afraid and even raising our issues with reception on checking out was met with very little in the way of an apology. I booked the hotel for a one night stop-off stay on the way back from the south of France. It was booked in January 2023 for a July stay . Over the course of that 5 months period, I never received any emails from the hotel to suggest anything unusual would be happening on the night of our stay. Even on the day of checking in nothing was mentioned to us. However, when we came down for dinner at 7:45 pm we met in reception and told that we could not be in our room between 10:30 pm and 11:30 pm that evening because of a firework display. When we questioned this, we were told there was a health and safety issue and that the fireworks meant that we would have to vacate the hotel completely for that hour and we would only be let back in when it had finished. The hotel had five months in which to communicate this information to it before our stay and had they done so I would’ve cancelled the room immediately without any concerns. To drop this information on us at 7.45pm when we had no alternative accommodation is simply unacceptable. We went out for dinner and went back to our room at about 9 pm as we were very tired. At 10:30 pm we had a knock on the door and a couple of moments later the phone rang endlessly until we woke up and we were told we had to leave the room. We said we were not going to get dressed and leave the room as we had a 600km drive the following day. On that, we were told that we were not allowed to open the curtains and must not put the light on so we did not spoil the fireworks display. The fireworks eventually finished at 11:40 pm and then loud music started directly outside the hotel and carried on until almost 3am

The owners have done a splendid job in modernising the chateau, and creating a comfortable sophisticated environment. We were welcomed and looked after throughout. Being perched at the top of a hill overlooking a deep valley, the views are great. Dinner in the restaurant was also a really good experience. I hope we can find a way to return.....

Clean and comfortable room with a good shower. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. Great breakfast. Highly recommend. Will definitely stay again. Nice terrace with a view. We did have trouble finding it but it was worth the effort.

We stayed for one night in a Superior Double room overlooking the little carpark. Our host provided towelling robes as she noticed none had been provided in the room. We later discovered we had no towels but these were also quickly provided. The room was comfortable and clean. The hardworking hosts have transformed this former mansion into a stylish modern hotel.

Old “castle” in the old town fully renovated. Very nice place with professional and friendly staff. Not too many rooms which make it feel like home. Very nice owner. The French President comes here for diner so you might bump into him like us. We had a great stay.

The hotel has a fabulous location high up above the vezere river in an old fortified building that has been transformed into a small modern stylish hotel. Friendly staff and great restaurant. A great stop just off the autoroute and a beautiful base to visit historic Uzerche.
