Check in was easy. Breakfast plentiful. Amazing calmness about the Abbey. Interesting history and tastefully renovated. We would happily visit again.
Front desk staff were extremely helpful and offered amazing places to eat as the main restaurant was fully booked. Both places were exceptional and earned a 10/10 rating for food service and ambiance.
Beautiful place to stay. Wonderful surroundings of old monasteries, great amenities lots of interesting things to see. Great local food, very friendly staff, magical atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.
Historic site that tells many stories, and all of the accommodations are up to date and comfortable. Staff is easy and knowledgeable.

The room in Fontevraud L'Ermitage was pleasant, it was clean and the beds were good. Perfect for 2 or 3 nights. The room was quite warm in August, there were fans but they made little difference. We also missed having a seat. We were with 4 people, so sometimes we had to wait for each other. Don’t go for the breakfast, the selection is very limited and we found it very disappointing for the price.
What is not to like, eating a wonderful breakfast around a cloister after a quiet night in this Abby of great French & English historical significance, with dove and large bells easing you into your morning.
A fabulous hotel. What a privilege to be able to stay in Fontevraud-l’Abbaye Abbey. The ability to walk around after the public has gone up to 12.30 at night was amazing! The room was clean and comfortable and the hotel was beautiful.
Take time to go to the restaurant in the Cloisters. Such an experience . Very highly recommend
My husband and I stayed at Fontevraud Abbey for a night and it was honestly the highlight of our France trip. There is a light show next week and they were practicing which was great that we got a free preview of it! Plus we hadn't realised we get to view the abbey until midnight and the next day as included in the price of our hotel stay. The bar and food service was also great. The only thing I would say is that we weren't notified that the bar closed at 10 and we did manage to thankfully get 1 drink from the front desk staff at 10.30-ish but I know several people did not know about this closing time. But overall would absolutely recommend staying at this hotel!
The setting is quite spectacular and the hotel rooms are stylish if a little small. Unfortunately, my husband accidentally, kicked his glasses under the bed and when we tried to retrieve them saw that cleaning under the bed is not a priority. A lot of dust etc. Otherwise the room was spotless.
I had also emailed the hotel a few days before asking if we could eat in the restaurant. They only told me on arrival that it was fully booked until October. It would have been helpful to have known in advance. We took the option of a ‘picnic hamper’ which was disappointing to say the least.
The breakfast was slightly underwhelming. A nice selection of items from local producers but luke warm coffee out of a thermos jug is not what I would expect from a hotel of this standard. I think they could serve a pot of coffee or tea at the table without too much trouble.
The reception staff were extremely pleasant and helpful I must say.
The breakfast was horrible , mostly bread and and only ham and smoked fish and butter, beside some serials and eggs that look so bad , honestly I’ve been in 50 hotels in 2025 and this is one of the worst for 4 stars hotels, even ibis hotel breakfast is better
We loved everything about this restful, magical place.
The staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfast plentiful and top quality, locally-sourced ingredients. Room very comfortable indeed.
Аtmosphere and ambience, everything was above our expectations. It is especially nice that staying at the hotel you can explore the Abbey until midnight. Everything is open and there are crowds free. The smell of the herbs in the gardens is simply divine!
Oh, and don't skip breakfast under any circumstances. The experience is unique.
