M.G.T.P. NORMANDIE

Stayed here as part of an organised trip and was underwhelmed by the hotel and the whole experience. The hotel is uninspirational and lacks character. The room itself was fine - large and clean but really, really hot, which made sleeping hard.The restaurant staff didn't have great command of English and didn't understand the concept of vegetarianism. A friend asked for a vegetarian meal and was then offered fish, before being offered a salad. Breakfast was better with a quite extensive selection. Staff did seem friendly. But overall, nothing special, but nothing bad.

Generally I am reluctant to submit a review which is negative, but I feel some clarification is required. This hotel does not have sound proof rooms. The rooms are clean and comfortable but far from soundproof. This hotel clearly caters for large groups. This particular weekend, there were teams of young boys from sporting teams staying there who spent their time running the corridors yelling, using the pools tables and playing loud music until nearly 4.00am. There didn’t seem to be any supervision or staff to control these boys. Upon our arrival, the hotel staff were few and far between, but they were efficient albeit run off their feet. The one and only receptionist not only handled all the bookings but also had to manage the bar. She did her best but was clearly stretched to the limit. Consequently she was not at her friendliest. My limited French was helpful as no one spoke any English, so we had to work things out for ourselves. We had dinner at the hotel and were pleasantly surprised. The décor was very basic, but the waitress was lovely and the food was quite good. After a bad night with next to no sleep, we entered the dining room for breakfast. What a mess! It looked as if every member of the sporting teams had been through there and had a huge food fight. Yet, none of the parents or team officials seemed to care. Let alone the hotel staff. There wasn’t a clean table to be found. We waited a while but no one came. We had to go and find a staff member and ask if we could have a table cleared. They pointed to another room which was obviously still being cleared from a wedding which was held in there the night before. This hotel is more like a hostel, very basic but clean. It seems perfect for a team or large group. I will make the point though, that this was not the hotel we booked. We were booked to stay somewhere else 50kms away, but due to bad management from the booking agency, we discovered upon our arrival that we could not

We were a little worried when we soon realised after our arrival that this hotel doubled as accommodation for a large number of mainly young men on training courses with a health and safety organisation, whose HQ was on the site. But we need not have been at all alarmed!||The students were no problem at all - in fact the hotel was quieter than most, especially at night, and the bar (which was hardly used) closed at 10pm anyway.||The facilities were fine - a good bed, very clean and modern bathroom, excellent housekeeping, efficient and polite staff, a well-organised if somewhat basic breakfast, and very good service and a wide choice of meals at the restaurant in the evening.||The hotel is near a main road, railway station and motorway, and convenient both for the historic town of Vernon on the Seine, and the village of Giverny where Monet's Garden is to be found.||And it's cheap! We found it on the internet, and were very pleased with our choice.|

Nice hotel in the country. Very friendly staff. The shower situation is terrible. Whomever designed it was not thinking. Also if you want to eat meals here other then breakfast be sure to make a reservation. Some of the staff was rude to those who couldn't speak French.

I truly appreciated the calm environment with pool table ... nice room and spacious dining area with very good priducts ... I enjoyed eating outside with fresh air ... very pleasant professional staff - if i return to area i would go back to this hotel - establishment is in a secured fenced in area - didn't have time to go to waterfront but am sure that it was nice. ... enjoyed

It was an inexpensive hotel and so I did not expect many amenities but there were several things that I thought could have been improved. First, it was HOT and I recognize that it was an unusual temperature for Normandy. There was no airconditioning, but I would think that there would have been a way to securely open the window for ventilation (I was on the ground floor). No, the window opens totally - about 3 foot by 4 foot just above the ground so anyone could get in without effort - not a possibility. As a result, it was like sleeping in an oven. Second, there was no safe in the closet. I was on a long journey and had cash in many currencies, my passport, etc. I ended up carrying that with me all the time which is not my first choice. Third, I arrived at about 1:15 having not had any breakfast or lunch. I asked about lunch and she directed me to the dining room, but no one even paid any attention and I finally left. Fourth, I came home from my event and wanted to get a quick dinner and the restaurant was closed for a private party - so I really go very little to eat that day. But worst of all, the private party went on swinging until about 4am - since I could not open my window, I did not hear as much as some of my friends but it was pretty disruptive. On balance, had the temperature been more cooperative, I would have only been mad about the late party, but I do not think I would return.

My room was 210. There were cockroachs in the room. There was no grid to cover the ventillation conduct in the bathroom. The hotel was quite dirty and more in particular my room. I asked the hotel receptionist for an official claim sheet and they didn’t have them. I think this is ilegal since the customer must have an official via to claim. They only offer a small discount off the room rate but no more compensation. This is not worth the rate it has got.

We met in hotel du mont Vernon with large family group. It was afterwards a good time. We had 2 rooms to meet. One for lunch and diner, the other one for the children to play and spent time. The food was probably deep frozen but at the end it was fine. There are a few activities to do on place. The people working there are friendly and helpful. The hotel is not luxury but all basic stuff can be find there. The noise insulation is weak in rooms. If neighbours are quiet the surrounding is noiseless. I would return because for large group it is convenient.
