Aigle Noir Fontainebleau - MGallery Collection

I’m a little late writing this as I thought I already had left this review but I can’t see it. No matter, better late than never! Honestly, I cannot praise this hotel and its staff and Manageress highly enough. From the moment we arrived, we felt looked after and relaxed and we had a gorgeous comfortable room. Unfortunately, I was taken ill on our first evening there, and we had to cancel our subsequent nights as I ended up in hospital for several days with an infection. The staff were so kind, and genuinely concerned, and there was no fuss at all about refunding us for the cancelled nights. We’ve booked another stay and we’ll be visiting again next Spring. We look forward to a fabulous (drama-free!) visit this time! 😊 Thank you so much again to all the staff and the Manageress! A bientôt!

The hotel is perfecty located just across the street from entrance to Fontainebleau palace. In the middle of town, restaurants are at walking distance. |We had a suite consisting of generously sized spaces. Living room, bathroom and bedroom. Bed and sheets of good quality. |WIFI works well.|Breakfast is buffet style and very good.|The hotel is very thinly staffed ( just 1 person ) at Reception. The bar is not always open. The room minibar is not well stocked. |Staff was very kind and professional.

The building itself is beautiful and full of character, and the bedding was very comfortable. Breakfast was truly exceptional — high-quality products, great variety and plenty to choose from. A few points could be improved: the water never gets really cold (I like cold showers), the water pressure is a bit low, and the room finishing could use a light refresh. The décor is also quite minimalistic. Overall, a pleasant stay with excellent hospitality and a fantastic breakfast.

Had a pleasant stay at L’aigle Noir this weekend - with a friendly welcome and cosy ambience - right in front of the château. Reception very homely but as one member of staff on duty, expect to wait if many people at once. Our room was spacious and quiet looking on to a courtyard. All staff very helpful with a special mention to Patricia, la gouvernante who tried her best to please such as changing to firmer pillows. The bar is particularly cosy with good choice of cocktails and particularly enjoyed their white wine on the house for Accor guests. We were just disappointed to have missed the restaurant which sounded great - but alas, has closed. Look forward to returning.

Advertised as "recently renovated" in their marketing brochure, expectations were particularly high before my visit to the Aigle Noir in Fontainebleau.||Contrary to my high expectations, I ended up in a poorly and sparsely furnished, rather run-down room. The constant hum of the non-functioning air conditioning didn't make things any better, and the cheap pedestal fan provided suggested this was a long-term problem. Looking for a free outlet required unplugging one of the lamps. ||As it turned out, only a few rooms and the public areas in the hotel had been renovated, but the majority of the guest rooms hadn't. It is pathetic that a hotel where most guest rooms are run down advertises itself as “recently renovated”. Worst hotel experience in years, rip-off with false advertising promises, not recommended.

I stayed for two weeks while attending a course at INSEAD, so got to know this hotel very well!||Positives:|- Friendly and helpful staff; great reception service|- Super comfortable bed|- Great location in the town centre (and only about a 15 minute walk to INSEAD)|- Close to all attractions (the Palace is on your doorstep)|- Many restaurants nearby|- Quiet rooms|- Lovely breakfast|- Beautifully presented rooms|- Great desk to work at|- Iron and ironing board provided and lots of wardrobe space for clothes||Negatives:|- The rooms are too hot (air con is turned off in the autumn / winter)|- The toilet room is small|- The fitness room / gym has only a couple of bikes (see photo); there is plenty of space for some proper weights and I’d recommend they buy some and a bench; no need for running machines, as there are great runs straight out the door!|- The restaurant was closed, so no room service or evening dining - but many restaurants on your doorstep|- No laundry||A lovely place to stay and I was pleased with my choice. A few small changes, air con and more gym equipment, could make it even better!

Beautiful building, great location, nice bar and breakfast. Location right next to merry go round and across from Fontainebleau chateau was perfect for Christmas concert and markets. Wish staff had been able to assist more re handicap entrance procedure for fontainbleau. Front desk did call Fontainbleau at our request regarding entrance for concert that evening. Unfortunately they did not obtain all necessary information re procedure for handicap entrance-apparently we could have driven right to the entrance via the gate across from hotel- we attempted to walk through this entrance but were turned away and had to walk additional couple of blocks- very difficult for my mobility impaired mother. The only other complaint was difficult to access outlets for tea.

In addition to its location opposite the Palace of Fontainebleau, the hotel's affiliation with the MGallery brand and the fact that the property was supposed to be "recently renovated" (according to the MGallery marketing brochure) were the main reasons for booking two rooms at this rather pricy hotel. However, the rooms I was assigned were a complete disappointment (sparse and shabby furniture, stained wall coverings, and many other defects). When I asked about it right after checking in, I was told that not the entire hotel had been renovated, and certainly not the Classic rooms... and that's about 30 of only 51 rooms available at this hotel. While there were no complaints about the breakfast buffet in the renovated breakfast room, the run-down guest rooms definitely did not meet the usual high standards of MGallery hotels, nor those of a 3 or 4-star hotel, which made the stay very disappointing overall. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, as the majority of the rooms are shoddy, and I would never go there again myself.

Perfect location, in the center. Discounted Parking fee at the Public park. Room is big and clean, free WiFi Free complenetry coffee, tea and water I got a great Deal by Booking early.

Perfect location in the heart of town. 5 min walk to the Chateau and restaurants and cafes are right outside the hotel. Good rates at off season. Nice, quiet rooms. Staff were very helpful. Love the self service bar!

Beautiful hotel located in town centre and located opposite the famous chateau. The hotel is decorated in a luxurious manner. Room was big with a very comfortable bed and large shower. Staff were friendly. Late night check in is available. Highly recommend this hotel

Apart from one staff in the front desk (in her mid thirties, quite pretty) being snobbish and cold, the other staff were all lovely and helpful. Good location, beautiful exterior and clean.
