Les Orchidées , Hôtel & Restaurant

In March 2025 I led a group of 20 former work colleagues to visit WW1 sites in Verdun. We stayed for two nights at Hotel Les Orchidees. The rooms were comfortable and clean, although my room did not have a plug in the bathroom sink - not the end of the world. The staff were friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Although selecting an identical menu for the whole group for evening dinner was a bit of a pain, I fully understand the challenges that a group of 20, all at once, can cause to a restaurant. The food was excellent and although the restaurant was open at lunch time, my group only wanted a light lunch which was no problem for the staff. I would use this hotel again.

I stayed at this hotel for three nights with my wife and wasn’t disappointed. I had stayed here twice before, a few years ago and it is still of a high standard. The staff were all helpful and engaging, our room was adequate for a short stay, the only thing l would like to see changed would be the provision of a kettle in the room to make coffee or tea with but not a game changer. Breakfast was adequate and a reasonable choice of food to choose from, there are no hot dishes to be had unless you include hard boiled eggs. The restaurant is worth a special mention as it has a good selection of dishes and wines to suit everyone, the prices are also very competitive. Service was prompt throughout our meals and we opted to eat here for the three nights we stayed. There was no need to pre book a table. Don’t be put off by the location which is close by an industrial estate, the location is quiet but really convenient for either going into Verdun or visiting the many WW1 battlefields and forts. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Easy to find hotel on the outskirts of Verdun. It is close to a main road but tucked away on behind an industrial estate. The rooms are large, well appointed and comfortable. There is very comfortable furniture in the garden to enjoy the evening sun. The pool was not operational when we stayed. The food is very old and well priced.

This hotel is well located for the battlefields but not for Verdun itself. We stayed three nights as we were touring the area. Our room was rather disappointing, small with a blind on the inside rather than outside. It clearly could do with shutters. I mentioned that the loo needed to be fixed but nothing happened and again when we left. The loo holder was broken, so not great to stick stick behind a tap or having it behind your back. I had also to ask for a loo roll as hardly any had been left in the room. We ate only one night as food was not great. There are much better restaurants in Verdun or even nearby such as chez Mamie. Breakfast was buffet style, complete with television and news reports.

Great secure parking. Small nice pool with seating outside. We had a nice twin bed room on ground floor. Good shower etc. OK dinner. Excellent breakfast. Perhaps dining room and outside could have done with a good sweep and our room was a bit dusty in the 'hidden' areas but not a problem for us. Really nice front of house staff, very friendly.

SI VOUS NE MESUREZ PAS 1M80 CET HOTEL N'EST PAS FAIT POUR VOUS (les cintres sont beaucoup trop hauts pour quelqu'un qui mesure 1m55 et j'ai dû demander un ESCABEAU ! - voir photo jointe !) - IL N'Y AVAIT PAS DE ROULEAU DE PAPIER TOILETTE DE RECHANGE, nous avons du en demander un... un seul verre sur les tables, ce sont des "basiques" qui devraient être systématiques dans un hôtel de ce type...
