The food was excellent, the wine was excellent...it just wasn't heads and shoulders above food I had eaten at other bistros and restaurants. To be one of the 22 Three star restaurants in France, I would have thought that the food would be incredible. I was disappointed. More

Have been here a few times but the memories still linger. The first experience was probably the best as we had driven from Paris without any known destination and stopped outside here in the middle of persistent rain. The hostess / proprietor took pity on 2 bedraggled Aussies and gave us the best room in the house. It was absolute... More

I was at La Cote ST-Jacques for a weekend. The Hotel is very well located at the riverside facing west. It is partially renovated and what it is not yet renovated needs to be fast. Joigny the little town where it is has no atractions for tourists but you can visit Auxerre and Chablis that are nicier and more atractive.... More

We planned a special stay for christmas on our way back from Normandy to Switzerland. Our expections were a comfortable & luxious room with a view and an very good Restaurant for the x-mas dinner. The R&Ch book let us believe we had found what we were looking for. Unfortunately that was not the reality. I will grant that it... More

We were in the somewhat empty annex and while the room was lovely, it had some awkward things about it. The bedside lamps were imbedded into the headboard and couldn't be moved so one was constantly hitting it with one's arm or head. The wifi had to always be re-booted. And the bathroom was badly designed - in order to... More

The hotel does not match the restaurant, which is good. It is not the best I've seen, though. The hotel should three stars. The mattress had not been changed in many many years, or the comforter for that matter. The a/c worked as a heater of course so we had to sleep with windows open. The reception was not trained...

Part of the Relais & Chateau Group and so not cheap. Last year our car broke down and it took 10 days to get the part, so we used the hotel as a base, returning after a few days travelling, then off again. The hotel stored all the items we had in our car, made the same room available to... More

We enjoyed Wonderfull, imaginative food here well worth the 3 Michelin Stars and in my opinion the price. We were shown the Kitchens and introduced to the Chef before Dinner which was a wonderfull "touch" and much appreciated. The Hotel was not however worth the money ! We had a large Bedroom with a Terrace overlooking the River, but our... More

We booked an all inclusive packet, including a gourmet dinner. The rooms were comfortable but outdated. The view was wonderful & we had our own balcony. The down side was the incredible disillusion of our 5 course dinner. As a 3 star Michelin Restaurant we did have great expectations. All the first 3 courses were incredibly salted, so bad that... More
