Hotel la Forge

Missed check in Day one (my fault) but then on day two when we went during the times it indicated it was still shut and none of the phones numbers that were on the website or doors worked. Have been charged for rooms I was unable to even get to into the building for.

Tired and massively overpriced for what it is. I'm sorry but I have to be honest - this hotel is overpriced by about 80%. It's very old inside, very basic, not especially comfortable and has no facilities beyond a bed and a shower. The bar area has been turned into some strange clothes shop/laundry and is completely cluttered. Manageable for one night but I really can't recommend it. Did I mention price? We stayed in some lovely hotels in France and Belgium during a week's tour and this was the most expensive and many many levels below the others. Oh, and it's difficult to find, because the outside looks NOTHING like the advertised picture (which was what drew us in to book).

This is the WORST business I have ever dealt with in my professional life. This was a business booking via travel agents Egencia/Expedia and it was absolutely unbelievable that ******* would support such a crazy house. They have charged my boss over €300 per night for a room that stank of sweat, the shower was broken and the bedsheets had holes... I understand it's a 2 star hotel, but the price suggest an acceptable level of service at least (which they did not provide). Not only that! They took the payment for the reservation at the time of booking as opposed to what the confirmation said, that payment will be taken at the hotel. not only that! they charged him for an extra night and then they have refused to refund the money saying "he is rich so he can pay". The owners; married, old couple, were so extremely rude and unreasonable that at this point I just think they are both mentally incapacitated and should be in a care home and not dealing with people and their money. They don't speak English and they were very agitated with my boss for complaining about the broken shower. I had to be nice to them while my boss was staying there, as I was genuinely worried, that they would ransack his room while he was out during the day. The "taxi" they have, do not book it! They will take your money and then they will not deliver the service as per instructions. They have charged me €250 for 20/30 min of driving and on the second part of the trip, "the pick up" service, they parked 2.5 miles away from the agreed meeting point, so my boss and his customers had to walk for 2.5 miles in the rain to find the driver. Like I said; THE WORST experience with a business in my professional life. If you still decide to go (and I strongly advise that you don't!), do not pre-pay for anything and make the payments after the service/stay. Looking at all of the online reviews, this is not a one off experience. And even when talking to the local taxi agencies, when I mentioned "La Forge" they literally laughed and said "good luck", so it's clear they are know in the local area, not for the good reasons. Based on that, I truly believe all the positive comments are from their family and not the actual customers.

The rooms are not only showing their age, but a lack of general maintenance. On day of checkout, the property wanted to charge us 100 euros to store our bags until the end of the day. The restaurant around the corner was kind enough to store them for free.

NO Staff,never saw anyone at reception or elsewhere for the duration of our stay. Restaurant/bar closed. Was suppose to be half board. Room clean but v hot and odd odour. TV removed from wall. All rather unpleasant. Do NOT recomend
