Everything! I can only confirm what most other reviews have said. This is exactly what a great chambre-d'hote should be like. Not jet-set luxury, but homey, clean, tastefully decorated and furnished, and attention to detail that I've rarely seen in any other accommodation. Add to that a friendly and interesting host, good breakfast, and central location, and it made the visit to Semur-en-Auxois worth the trip just for the accommodation itself.

Nothing wrong at all.

A cross between an hotel and a B&B, run by the owner who was very friendly and not intrusive at all. Between us, we had enough English and French for her to explain that I was the only one staying there, I had use of the lounge area and a set of keys to come and go as I pleased. I was lucky to be able to park right outside (other street parking and car parks are available in the vicinity) and the hotel was just around the corner from the town centre and a number of restaurants. The included Continental breakfast was filling and tasty.

There didn't seem to be a lock on my bedroom door. This wasn't a problem for my stay, since I was the only one there and was only staying the one night, with minimal belongings. There's no shower curtain, so you can't stand up for a shower. This could easily be improved.

Situated town centre, so obviously there was car noise. Restaurants easily accessible. Lovely breakfast served in a very elegant, historic room. Elegant crockery too. Old property full of character and charm. The owner obviously artistic with interesting furnishings and art work. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Only negative issue, the bed creaked.

The location was perfect for walking around the charming town; the owner was very welcoming and made an excellent suggestion for where to have dinner. The property is a large private home ; the owner makes available a bedroom and adjoining bathroom. Everything is correct but a little spartan. The bathroom has a bathtub but no stand-up shower.

would have liked to have had a stand up shower

The preserved, medieval room was great! I also love the breakfast, jam was so good. The host was so kind. It was a wonderful stay for money.

The entrance is difficult to find out.. I wish I could use a fridge, but its OK.

Great welcome by our hostess. Great location a half block from the main eating and strolling street. The room was large, the bathroom has an actual bathtub, a welcome rarity. We were the only guests and shared the common areas with our hostess. We were on bikes and there is a gated compound for undercover bike storage. Breakfast was standard French continental, and was served at her dining room table -- fresh fruit, yogurt, croissants, bread, and homemade confitures. We had a seating lounge just outside our room on the first floor. We were the only guests, and we think that there may always be only one room rented. Very quiet.

Cyclists be aware: Semur-en-Auxois is at the top of a very steep hill, something we did not anticipate when we planned our cycling holiday. A great town and a great chambre d'hôtel, but you need to be fit to get there.

This is a unique and beautifully furnished property, which offers a comfortable place to rest in the centre of Semur. The host is kind and friendly and the breakfast is wonderful.

I could not fault it.

Great place! Very cool artistic vibe. Great location within a very short walk of the old town center in Semur-en-Auxois. Great breakfast every morning with coffee, crossaints, baguette, etc. Bathtub had adjustable showerhead, but no stand/holder to hold it up high, so it was challenging to take a shower.

beautiful old house with an eye for decoration, excellent host, great location. we ate at „Le Refuge“ which is around the corner, a cool and stylish restaurant with great food at very fair prices.

Small, unpretentious bed-and-breakfast in the classic sense of the word: you get to stay at the owner's big house and enjoy a home-made breakfast in their dining room. Our room and bathroom were absolutely private being the only ones on our floor (and I think the only guests on our night, too). Both were spacious, bright and spotless. The host was responsive and informative. Breakfast was very good quality with our choice of drink, yogurt, croissants, bread and spreads.

The mattress was a bit soft to my liking
