Château du Bost - Teritoria

Beautiful ambiance in château, excellent food at restaurant, well-trained staff and knowledgeable sommelier

Very attractive property at the outskirts of Vichy. You need a car to visit downtown. The restaurant is excellent and absolutely worth it. Sitting outside on the terrace is more pleasant than in the dining room. Ample parking.

The quirky bathroom.

The Chateau, the surroundings, close to Vichy but out in the green. Big & nice room, perfect bathroom. Perfect aircon in the room (was 34degrees). Friendly and very competent staff. Very good restaurant, we had dinner twice there - and very good breakfast.

The bedroom was satisfactory and easy parking.

A poor dinner and breakfast.

The restaurant. This was why we booked the hotel and it did not disappoint. Great chef, we went for the premium tasting menu and accompanying wines. Meant they did all the choosing for us; great value for michelin level cuisine.And once ordered discovered that the waiters did know a little English which helped

Check in was a little challenging because I don't speak French very well; the man who checked us in had some English but chose not to use it. But we muddled throughRoom was the cheapest one they have, its a little disappointing for the price being at the top of the chateau and not in the main building.Breakfast disappointing

good food

noisy heating system in the room made sleep difficult.

Location, excellent meal and very comfortable room

I thought Hotel du Bost was really excellent, the location is very quiet, zero road noise and sound from other room/s was really negligible. The historic nature of the building is a real plus, and the multi-course dinner they served, along with the amazing spectrum of cheeses was top notch, I'd never had such a dinner! I think it probably rivals what you can get in Paris, but I've never eaten there yet. The hotel was also VERY helpful in getting a few of my garments washed, the very next day they were back, wow. There is no common laundry for guests to use, I just asked if I might be able to get some things washed and they did, no problem. A real service.

I can't say I "didn't like it" because I don't like to be the stupid one-language American tourist who expects everyone everywhere to speak English, but I think it would be to the hotel's advantage if they drilled their staff in a little bit of basic English. It would just raise the versatility of the place. But this area (Vichy) is not, I think, a real go-to place for tourists and I would never lower my rating of the hotel or the area just because there weren't a lot of English speakers. I just used Google Translator a lot which I think made it easier on the staff.

We loved the location, food was amazing - staff super friendly

Building was lovely, terrace for evening meal was very nice and staff were attentive

Night at hotel, breakfast, 2 course evening meal for two with two drinks each approx €320

Our room was small. The door to her bathroom hit the bed and didn’t fully open. A mobile air conditioning unit had a large vent pipe sticking through a boarded up central part of the window with the opening light still in place at 90degrees. Mega noisy when turned on so impossible to sleep with when temperatures were 34 degrees plus. Housekeeping was cursory.

The room. The Chateau’s moat was sludge green and as no fountains were in operation looked stagnant. The breakfast was ok but they let themselves down in some areas on presentation of food ( cheap supermarket bought biscott in an opened plastic wrapper, compote served in small Pyrex cooking bowls, no bowl to decant yoghurt and compote into a breakfast bowl. No bar for drinks at all unless eating there. We chose not to eat there because there was no atmosphere and other guests didn’t speak. We cannot comment on other meals.

Very nice property and evening meal was good value. Wait staff at dinner were excellent. High level of cleanliness.Lift only goes to the 1st floor so if you have mobility issues bear that in mind when requesting a room.

We were in an attic room with rafters and sloping ceilings which made access to the bed (on one side) and the toilet difficult to manoeuvre.

Well maintained and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.

Very nice restaurant so would have been good to have an iron so we didn’t look so rumpled at dinner.

Dinner was delicious

Larger bedroom & less air freshener

The site is amazingAll surrounded by water, the crazy frogs were so surprising and singing loud

There is nothing special to remember, except for the location.

The furniture of the public areas was pretty ghastly. There were only four choices on the menus for lunch or dinner. During our stay they never changed.

Environment, staff, cleanliness, food etc very good.

No defined reception area or bar as such. Entered the hotel into what looked like a dining room with the office beyond and the Manager or whatever came from the office to show us where the restaurant was and to our room. We returned to the area and sat at a large dining table for a drink but it felt strange and uncomfortable like someone’s front room.

Absolutely fantastic the hosts were the friendliest , Stephen and thomas , we highly recommend your establishment!The menu was delicious ❤️❤️

We were so impressed by the all experience of staying one night at the Chateau. The weather was very hot, our bedroom air conditioner was not working, so we were upgraded to a better room. Dinner was superb!. Out of our 12 days touring trip in France, the Chateau du Bost was one of the best stopover.

We had another excellent stay at this small Chateau. The room was comfortable, the staff delightful and our dinner and breakfast the next day of the highest quality. Its location is great for us for an overnight stop on our way from Calais down to Spain
