Logis Hôtel Au Clos Paillé

This place was a fantastic discovery. We arrived from England with our dog and we’re very warmly welcomed. The room was very clean and warm. It offered a small kitchenette lovely warm shower. Beautiful comfortable bed and s super location next to a park but walking distance of the town centre. Perfect for us and the dog! We had dinner here last night which was truly outstanding. The chef was a young lady of 29 who deserves a Michelin Star. The quality of the food was outstanding. Local and fresh, beautifully presented and inspirational in its presentation. Breakfast was equally outstanding with a huge selection of local cheeses and hams, croissants, cereal local yogurt, beautiful. Eggs and bacon. My husband was in heaven. We will be back. It has a lovely boutique feel. The owner of the hotel is charming and helpful and although we are passing through this time we will be back. It’s in La Roche- Posay and as most people are aware these skin products are fantastic. I’m assured the local Spa is worth a trip. Good excuse to return 😊

The welcome was warm and friendly and we were shown to our room upstairs. The rooms are all named after herbs and spices rather than numbered. We were in one of the spice rooms. It was quite small with a sliding door to access and very compact bathroom. The decor was all white in the room making it feel cool and rather bijou. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The air-con was efficient and very quiet. Dinner was different matter. We were told that as it was a warm evening we would all be eating outside on the patio area. It was not a choice. Similarly the set menu had no choice offered. While we were waiting we ordered a glass of wine. We were shown a list of wines by the glass from some sort of Vacuvin machine which were exorbitantly priced and a total rip off. Eventually we managed to get the main wine list and prices were much more reasonable but the damage was already done. We waited a long time for the food. The amuse guele was a pate made from , I suspect, kale or cabbage which was interesting. The starter was a tomato mousse with mozzarella. Considering that much is made at the hotel about the chef being a Maitre Restaurateur offering a Table Distinguee. The starter had crossed the line between subtlety and total blandness. The main course was a type of fish I had not eaten before; Maigre. We waited a long time for it. Perhaps there were problems in the kitchen. By the time it arrived the evening had started to get uncomfortably cool. The fish, as the name implies was meager and over-cooked. It was supposed to be served with a meat jus which was utterly tasteless. The highlight was the dessert which was a warm fruit salad with ice cream though it was unbalanced with an excess of lemon acidity. Breakfast was served in the delightful main dining room and was all it should be.

Accueil très médiocre , impression qu'on gêne ; ce qui est paradoxal dans un hotel qui vante ces qualités

Séjour en famille inoubliable à la Roche Posay fuyant la vie stressante et bruyante de la Région parisienne. Merci de votre accueil.

Nous sommes venues pour la troisième année au Clos Paillé et avons été toujours aussi satisfaites de toutes les prestations et de la sympathie de l'équipe. A l'année prochaine!

Tout est en piteux etat, c'est sale et moisi. La salle de bain donne envie de vomir.Ils ont mis des oreillers jamais lavés sur les oreillers sur lesquels on dort. Impossible de dormir de la nuit avec le bruit . La chambre est ideuse. C'est de loin le pire hotel que j'ai fait de ma vie.
