Great family hotel
Posted 4 Sep 2016This was our second stay at this well located hotel in beautiful Castallane. The staff are super - helpful and welcoming. The facilities are good with a lovely pool and seating area, and the rooms comfortable. The breakfasts are excellent and being outdoors types having decent fruit, cereals and bread in addition to the normal continental fare was welcome - cooked is available too. A great hotel in a super town.

Great Base for Exploring the Gorges du Verdon
Posted 11 Aug 2016
Pros:
Travelled to the Gorges du Verdon as a family of 4, used to holidays in France, but completely new to this area. We had a wonderful time in Castellane, and this was in no small part due to our choice of hotel. The hotel location overlooking the market square was perfect, with restaurants, shops, water sports activity providers and well-signposted walking trails all within a few steps of the front door. The hotel was an excellent base for activities, with several different lounge and outdoor seating areas to spend time, so we never felt that the hotel was overcrowded, even in peak season. The small outdoor pool was perfect to cool down after a hot walk, but for swimmers wanting to do some lengths, the public pool 2 minutes walk away is the best (and cheap) option. There was plenty of food at the buffet breakfast, with enough variety for our family, and the small bar had a good selection of cold drinks to go alongside their cocktail selection. The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful, and our neighbouring rooms were clean, spacious (especially for France) and comfortable. Our rooms were not air-conditioned, but judicicious use of the shutters during the day kept the rooms cool enough. We booked canyoning and rafting activites whilst we were in Castellane, both of which we really enjoyed. Note that rafting days are limited to 2 days per week (when EDF opens the dam), so book early or in advance.
In short, we would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Castellane hotel on town square
Posted 20 Apr 2016
Pros: Spacious foyer with very friendly English speaking reception. Adequately sized very clean room with balcony view to the Chapel du Roc.
Location: Climb the Chapel du Roc and enjoy the views. There is also kayaking in the river.
Hotel is based on the town square. Spacious foyer with very friendly English speaking staff. Reception advised us on activity for the late afternoon and where to eat in town. (April is a bit early in the tourist season and many businesses were closed). Adequately sized and very clean room with balcony view to the Chapel du Roc. Room was heated for our arrival. Breakfast was included and was excellent. Free parking in the hotel parking lot.

Delightfully Surprised
Posted 3 Oct 2015 on HotelsI booked one night at this hotel because I wanted a place in Castellane at the beginning of the Gorges du Verdon. I did not expect much from the name but when we arrived we were greeted by a most charming concierge. She could not have been more delightful or helpful. Our room was large, had a great view, there were good pillows on the bed, and the bathroom was big enough to spread out all my bottles. They supplied extra blankets for chilly nights, which we needed. Plus the hotel has its own parking lot and swimming pool. The extensive buffet breakfast was included in the price and it was the best we have had so far in France. All that and the town of Castellane is charming with some good restaurants.

Lovely hotel
Posted 1 Oct 2015A lovely hotel with very friendly staff and excellent buffet breakfast. Centrally located in Castellane. Comfortable room and bed however the soundproofing between rooms is fairly thin so there may be some noise at night.
