Hotel de la Poste - Relais de Napoleon III

Very nice hotel. Parking is good garage is great if you have motorcycles, (lights don’t stay on long) didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment, bar closes just before 11pm. No Air Con in the room. No tea or coffee making in the room, However you do get a fan for your room however it’s on a timer so every 120 minutes you got to get up and turn it on again. Would I stay here again, maybe seemed good price just very hot in the room. You do get two bottles of water in your room fridge which was nice to keep cool !!

The hotel is reasonable. It can’t be anything more than this. Rooms (309/311) are on the 3rd floor with a river view. They are both sold as superior river view rooms. They do have river views but are not superior in any way if you’ve stayed in other hotels. There is no air conditioning ( the hotel is old and built from stone and wood - and heats up to the point where you cannot sleep) but a noisy electric fan is provided. There are no USB charging sockets in the room and the shower is basic with distinctly average shower gel / shampoo bottle attached to the wall. The floor is wooden and squeaks a lot and the decor is bland (although this is, of course, subjective). In our view it needs a desperate refurbishment of the bedrooms and bathrooms….some of the rooms have a refurbished bathroom if you’ve stayed ask. The hotel has an underground secure (ish) garage for cars and motorbikes accessed via a room key from outside and inside. There are additional charges for parking - approx €18-20 euros for a car and half that for motorbikes per night. Location wise it is good as it is in the centre of town right by the bridge and the food is good with friendly service staff. Nice bar and restaurant area for views and evening meals / breakfast. Breakfast is basic continental affair and they offer a half board with 3 course meal options…which we took and had carrot soup as an amuse bouche for the first 3 days! You can ask to go a la carte which offers a few other dishes. The middle aged lady on reception was reasonably unhelpful and couldn’t really be bothered to help - with any request greeted with a sigh like it was too much trouble - perhaps she should recognise she works in hospitality and perhaps try to help guests a bit harder? Apparently it’s a family run hotel and this is not my first time staying here. Overall it’s an ok place to stay if visiting Bouillon for a couple of days - but it also appears there is a new hotel being built almost next door due to open summer 2026 - I think we will look there in future! This is for the reasons outlined above - the rooms need an urgent upgrade to modern standards and the attitude of the front desk lady need to be more friendly and helpful. I’m paying a lot of money to stay here and felt like an unwanted guest.

Charming and comfortable hotel in great location The staff was great. Very accommodating. No AC in the room, but we found a fan in the closet which helped on this warm night. We didn’t have breakfast, but the dinner was excellent. The location is very convenient. Paid parking available in parking area.

The hotel is well situated by the river, and has great secure underground parking. We had a really dated room (not like the photos on here), which although looking quite old and tired, was clean and very comfortable with good water pressure in the shower. I can only think the hotel must be updating rooms over time, and we had one which hadn't been modified yet. The breakfast was ok (not great). We ate in the attached bar/restaurant outside - the food was tasty and the drinks were good.

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful town, highly recommended!

another fantastic visit - what more can I say - great hotel and with great staff. Food = excellent - location is perfect and you can just sit on the terrace and lose time watching the people - see you next year God willing. Simon and Tracey
