Hotel Restaurant Les Gorges de Chouvigny

Such lovely people and a very delicious meal in the restaurant. Room was comfortable, warm and clean.The location is extremely beautiful right next to the gorges. Will definitely go back

Can't say anything bad about this place.

Fantastic setting, amazing evening meal in the restaurant. My husband had trout which he said was excellent. I had a steak which was cooked to my liking. Nice wine and plentiful portions. Lovely setting for restaurant along the river. Eric was very obliging and we enjoyed our evening.

The hotel is a little shabby and quirky I appreciate its very old but it is very tired and in need of a major refurb. The bed and bedding are clean but are very well worn. The bathroom is tatty , the toilet seat wonky and an unpleasant smell greets you . Breakfast in the morning was disappointing. Warm tea, 1 croissant and 1pain au chocolate and rock hard bread, I spoon of jam between us. We ve had far better breakfasts for 10 euro enroute. Its such a shame as its got so much more potential with just a little tlc . A lovely friendly couple run the place and I guess for a one night stoppover its ok although sadly overpriced for the condition it in. We wouldnt choose to stay again but we recommend the evening meal cooked to order.

Super location, friendly staff

It felt like more of a hostel than a hotel. The restaurant was quite expensive, and while the products were generally good there were more errors than should be expected at this price. Breakfast started too late (9am) so we had to leave without

Magical situation by the river. Stunning views from the terrace. Amazing chef and very enjoyable food. Very friendly.What a find!

Nobody to check-in

We waited for 50 minutes to check-in, nobody was there. We called 3 times, no answer. Door was open. We saw a room, which looked really bad. We paid 140 euros for a very bad service (well, no service) and a very bad looking room.So we went and searched for another guesthouse. (At the other guesthouse we paid 83 euro for great service, a great room and nice view.) I called back to the owner to complain, he hung up on me. I called back, his wife hung up on me too.

Location is great

This is a restaurant with rooms. No reception; no TV; no bar; no lounge; no wall dressings( paintings etc). In Latin “ De Minimus”. I would never recommend this place for overnight. You are literally on your own.

Good breakfast - great location - charming owners

Nothing - it was what it was: simple clean friendly.

the owner and staff were excellent and the meal was brilliant loved it

waiting around without a drink offered for 6 hours

Clean bedding, nice location. That's it

I don't like putting negative comments but I can't really find anything about this CdHotes that warrants a second visit, at all. We are in the same business and like to give the benefit of the doubt, but not here. Other than initial friendly greeting from the owner, we were faced with no key for locking bedroom and a stranger entered the bedroom after I had just got out of the shower, part of the shower was broken too; there was small old mattress which was extremely uncomfortable, a stuffy room with no chance of openening windows due to mozzies. The member of staff waiting on in the bar restaurant who made comment that as we were only ordering drinks we could only stay on the terrace area, not at the seating outside of restaurant, with no encouragement by asking if we wanted to eat. After ordering drinks, we decided against eating as the glasses were filthy and lead much to be desired. To order a second drink it took forty five minutes, and only after he asked if we wanted to settle the bill??! There were no excuses for being busy, there were only 6 people, including ourselves in the bar/restaurant. We were over charged for drinks too. There was little chance of a good night's sleep due not only to the bed, but thin walls and ceilings. Oh, if you want to pay in the day when reserving online, be warned. A message came from Hotel to say after making reservation that you could pay on the day but money was withdrawn immediately, so check your bank statements!

Tranquil and scenic location, breakfast was good with fresh Orange juice. Restaurant right by the rivers edge - lovely

Would have been nice if the bar was open in the day to have a few drinks..

Lovely location by the river

Lack of care for our comfort and well being. We had booked the room for a 2 night stay some weeks before. En route to the hotel we had a phone call from the hotel. I rang back 3 times. Nobody answered the phone.When we got thee after after a 7 hour journey from N France we rang the hotel owners. The wife came down to see us. The owner Eric Fleury shouted to us from a window on the 3 rd floor and did not have the manners to come and talk to us. They said there was a problem with the plumbing in the room allocated to us and we couldn’t use it. What was not made clear to us as to why we were being asked to give up our room when we had booked some time ago. We had stayed there twice before and were looking forward to 2 days by the river.They then said that they had booked us into a hotel some 14 km away. We drove to the hotel. The chef patron said that they had not received a booking in any way from Chouvigny. But also he couldn’t take us as he did not take dogs. We found this deceitful , uncaring and frankly incompetent behaviour. We then had to spend a lot of time on booking.com trying to find a room in a hotel that took dogs. We eventually found one in Clermont Ferrand about 30 miles away after a very long drive.We would not recommend anyone to book there. Also we think that booking.com should remove them from your listing as they did not honour the booking or offer any compensation

Great riverside location and value for money

Rooms quite basic but as expected for the price. 18.00 checkin time is a little late.

We loved the location. A little off the beaten track beside a beautiful river. The room was simple but super clean which I liked. The accompanying restaurant with it balcony over the river bank was lovely and the food was good. Felt good to be supporting a local business rather than going mainstream to a faceless hotel. Breakfast was at an additional cost but with fresh pressed orange juice and homemade strawberry jam it was a pleasant experience. Certainly a place to relax and take a step away from the rat race.

There were no frills and there was no decor in the room of any sort.

Excellent restaurant

I found the place amazing, very clean, had everything I needed, the host was amazingly great, the location is superbly beautiful.
