My husband and I had a lovely stay at this hotel. Our room was one with a jetted tub, which was fabulous. We had a sitting room and a bedroom, which was spacious and tastefully decorated with antiques. Totally worth the upgrade. Hotel Challenges was the perfect home base for exploring Burgundy. You will need a car, as the hotel is a mile outside Beaune. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The first day they gave us maps and suggested restaurants in the area. Breakfast was great, lots of choices. We used the pool once and found it crowded, but it was clean and well-maintained. The best thing about this hotel was the resident tabby cat. Very regal and happy to be petted.

Really beautiful chateau. Staff were all very helpful and welcoming. Lovely gardens and pool. We travelled with our large, bouncy dog and it was perfect as there was big field next to the chateau that we could let him run around. No complaints at all about this lovely property and would stay again.

This place is a hidden gem. Near the A6 Autoroute, but isolated from any noise. Wonderful pool, clean and modern rooms. The owners were so nice. We had a charcuterie board that was outstanding. Overall,a great way to end our two week stay in France!!!!

The property is a very lovely historic building. Staff are friendly and helpful. We had a suite with a small balcony and inside is really clean and decor is fancy. The age of the building didn’t take away any modern amenities. The only thing to keep in mind is the property is on the outskirt of Beaune, not easy to walk. A car/taxi is needed to get around. But otherwise definitely recommend as a quiet lovely stay outside of Beaune.

Really lovely place. Gorgeous setting and building and was extremely comfortable and good access to town / wineries etc. The staff was super helpful in setting up dinner reservations and wine tours. 10/10. My only tiny gripe is that the wifi was not very good in my room, and not great right next to the router either (near the bar). I was trying to download a spotify playlist and some podcasts for the road and it was very slow. Would absolutely stay again and appreciate the beautiful building and helpful staff.

A very nice hotel with uncomfortable rooms
The hotel area is very nice! The garden is beautiful. The staff is friendly and helpful. The pool is too small. The rooms are small and have no light (not from outside and not from lighting). We had family room with double beds that were too small and very uncomfortable. The air conditioning did not cool just made some noise. Maybe the conditions in the bungalows (that looks new) are better? I have no idea. So, despite the lovely staff and the calm, green area I will not choose again to stay there if I'll be in Burgundy again.

Great location and charming staff.
I really wanted to like this hotel. It is well placed for a one night stop over when going to or from the UK for winter or summer activities in the alps. Friendly service and clean, but it really needs some investment in its ground floor reception and bar.

Good
Disappointed that our room was not in the Chateau as displayed on the Hotels.com website, but was in the hotel annex - a much smaller room with steps to the bathroom/toilet. While the bed was comfortable and all the facilities worked fine, we felt misled and sad that we did not get our expected stay in the Chateau. One other observation is that while the hotel provided a breakfast on request, it had no facilities for evening meals, though it did offer a list of recommended restaurants in Beaune - a 2-3km drive, so late arrivals may find this disappointing. Fortunately we arrived by 4pm so had time to drive into beautiful Beaune, where the town centre had a wide choice of good restaurants.

1 night stay in Burgundy
In general we were happy with our stay in this wonderful French hotel even though our room was very small and located on the second floor without elevator. No-one helped us carry our heavy luggages. Also a cat was seating on the seats in the common area which is no big deal unless you have cats hair allergies.

Beautiful hotel in a tranquil pretty village
We had a lovely stay. The room was comfortable and large enough for me and 3 children. The pool is small but pretty and good for a decent swim. The breakfast was outstandingly good both choice and quality of everything. The staff were helpful and kind.

Refurbishment long overdue
Good location close to Beaune but a very tired property. Bathroom tiling and fittings very old and long overdue for replacement. Most of the carpet treads on the stair carpet were worn out and UK health & safety rules wouldn't have allowed them. 2 nd floor bedroom but no lift. Very helpful staff. Good breakfast. Helpful list of local restaurants provided as no restaurant in the hotel.

Peaceful Oasis in Burgundy
After having spent a week in Paris, we were ready for a quiet and peaceful stay in Beaune. We were not disappointed. Chateau de Challenges is located in a very remote location 1.5 kms from town and is like being separated from the outside world.

Great stopover in Beaune on the way to Paris
This hotel exudes charm and is all you would expect from a French chalet. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It has great grounds, which make you think you are somewhere in the countryside, rather than close to the town and some busy roads. It is very easy to reach from those roads, we came from south and found it with no trouble. The only downside is there is no elevator, so if stairs are an issue it would be wise to avoid. Although the staff are very happy to help you take the luggage up those stairs. Breakfast was also very nice, the traditional French continental style. There's also a quirky bar where you can order drinks and tapas food.
