Hôtel La Demeure du Parc

The location of the hotel is excellent. It is a 10 minute walk to Chateau Fontainebleau, less from the main road replete with restaurants, and there is an easily accessible public parking lot within 5 minutes of the hotel. However, the rooms are ridiculously small with a double bed crammed into an alcove and a tiny strip of space from door to window. The bathroom is adequate. Staffing seems to be an issue. The reception is often empty of staff as is the bar - this even at peak times. The receptionist who checked us in was not even sure of the breakfast times; nor did she seem aware of the parking opportunities despite the hotel having sent us an email the previous day. Certainly one expects far more experienced service from a hotel ranked four stars!

In general the staff is not very professional. Preparing breakfast while you and others still have diner, staff lacks interest in guests (if you work in a restaurant, you should look around to see if any of the guest has a request) if you pass by the reception no one is interested in you. And the food in the restaurant was of low quality. In general staff is slow and not very attentive.

It is amazing to find such a lovely boutique hotel with modern amenities in a quiet corner of Fontainebleau. We came here with our two teens and totally enjoyed the comfort and the beauty of the place. We highly recommend it for families or business trips.

We were very disappointed with this hotel. The standard rooms are tiny, you cannot walk & get to the bed without turning to face it. In other words you have to sidle in. We told the Receptionist and she immediately apologised and said, ‘this was a single room that had recently been converted into a double’!! She offered to change our room, but this is not what anyone expects when one books at a smart hotel at a room rate which is not insignificant. Single rooms are single, not double and should never be sold as such. The first time in my life I have experienced this. The room in addition to being tiny and dark (almost nonexistent lighting), had a side light and bathroom shaving mirror both about to collapse. We told the Receptionist as a hefty deposit had been taken apparently for ‘theft’ and damages. I suspect management would have taken both items off our deposit had we not noted these with Reception. The room was very noisy at night (we switched off our A/C entirely) and still the noise continued above us. It stopped momentarily, only to start again. So if you want to stay in a tiny room (please don’t tell me the size is on the website), with appalling lighting, be kept awake at night, feel as though you are untrustworthy and has a broken light and mirror, avoid this at all costs. There are plenty of other hotels in Fontainebleau probably at better price with far better basic facilities.

This is a beautiful hotel with lovely grounds and a fine Italian restaurant. It is within a 5 minute walk to the entry of Chateau Fontainebleu. We stayed in the room with a large terrace overlooking the gardens and enjoyed sitting there each evening. Our room was spotless with modern and fully equipment bathroom and shower etc. We had a great bluetooth speaker in the room which added to the comfort. We also enjoyed a lovely meal in the Restaurant on the patio during a lovely warm evening. I would definitely stay here again.

Hosted an event here last week in the hotel's reception room, and recommend it very highly as a venue. The room's setup is extremely simple, just "plug and play" if you need to show a PPT or any kind of materials from a computer. The catering was unfussy and very tasty, and we were able to provide the wine ourselves (the hotel charged a very reasonable corkage fee). The 2 members of staff who set up the food were courteous and professional, very happy to go the extra mile to make us comfortable, and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel itself is charming: set back from the street, with its own courtyard, a fire pit and terrace. Simple but elegant design. There is one receptionist and few other staff members; however, everyone we spoke to was responsive and professional. I went up to see my friend's room inside the hotel and it was, again, simple and elegant - quite a number of rooms have their own balconies which is a lovely feature. A 10/10 from me.

Our ‘superior double’ room was somewhat utilitarian and uninviting, and was very overpriced at €500+ per night (including breakfast). We felt this was purely because of the hotel’s location close to the Chateau de Fontainebleau, not because of its quality. The lift area smelt strongly of damp, and breakfast was disappointing for a 4* hotel. But the staff were all very friendly and helpful, and all the public areas were clean.

The hotel is steps from Fontainebleau and the rooms are very elegantly designed. My wife and I stayed in a suite that was stylish and roomy with a modern style bathroom that was almost as large as the room itself - a nice touch for a European room. Their restaurant had exquisite french cuisine and good service. We came for 2 days during a trip to Paris and did not want to return - the hotel was great, Fontainebleau is spectacular with its gardens, and the town is nice to walk around as well. WORTH THE TRIP. Kudos to the staff
