10/10 Exceptional

Interesting place to stay
Super interesting place to stay. New bathrooms. Very clean. Nice staff. Decent breakfast. Rooms have very basic amenities - not surprising given the place’s origin, but there isn’t even any soap in the bathrooms - no way to wash your hands except to use the mystery bottle of body wash (?) in the shower. The place isn’t expensive, so basic is fine, but maybe a few more amenities (like some soap, tissue, an extra towel or two) would be nice?

10/10 Exceptional

This is a former abbey partially converted to a hotel . There is an awesome cathedral on the property and the most unique musical carousel that allows you to play instruments as it turns. We had rooms with showers although there are also less expensive rooms with showers down the hall. The main commercial street with restaurants etc is a 10 minute walk. Free parking; no TVs. Extremely restful and charming.
Christine, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Advertised as a comfort room with bath/shower room, well yes it had a bedroom and a shower, unfortunately this is a prime example of “style over substance”, it’s not finished to a good standard, from untrained wooded sections on the shower room door, to a sink that has obviously been badly hung, large unhygienic gaps in the sealant, a loose floorboard at the foot of the bed, so you catch your foot in it in the night if you go to the toilet, the bed is anything but comfort, very high in the centre, makes you roll towards the edge, finally I wish we had not bother with breakfast @12€ per person, fruit bruised and battered, weakest coffee I have ever had, and staff constantly checking their mobile, as we had already had communication problems we decided to continue our trip rather than wait for someone to complain to. I almost forgot the most annoying bit, fire alarm sounded at 5.30 pm went on for 15 minutes, no sign of the “guardian”, when it stopped we eventually returned to our room, never did hear if it was safe, no communication at all.

Totally unique experience, but not in a heatwave
This is a property unlike any I have ever stayed in before. The abbey is almost 1000 years old and is filled with music. Musicians are hosted there and practice all day long amidst a calm and shady courtyard. An amazing restaurant sits just outside the abbey doors. This would be absolutely divine in the autumn or spring. It was not divine during a summer heatwave. The day we arrived, the temperature in Saintes passed 40 degrees C (104 F). The abbey does not have AC (understandable) and did not provide fans (less understandable). We had the one room with a private bath, but this was humid and the shower stall was very small--which made it difficult for tall people to use. It was also still above 30C when we tried to sleep for the night. We could not leave the window open very widely because of mosquitos. So we did not sleep well. The staff was lovely, though the nature of the property means that the reception is staffed for only a few hours a day. The breakfast was also good and filling. Overall, this is a wonderful property for Classical Music lovers during certain times of the year. I would avoid it during the summer, unless the staff is able to provide strong fans or some other cooling for rooms.

Magique
Le lieu est simplement magique , de toute beauté , où règne le calme , sa majesté , ce qui peut être surprenant ce sont les douches et toilettes partagées , selon la chambre choisie mais d'une très grande propreté . La visite de l'abbaye en prime , vraiment un beau moment !
La chambre on ressent déjà la paix intérieure

Une expérience
Juste une nuit mais une nuit dans un lieu unique par son environnement et son histoire. La rénovation et le réemploi de l'abbaye aux dames sont bien réalisés. 2 bémols : le long couloir voûté très élégant est bruyant (surtout les valises à roulettes) et les sdb à l'extérieur des chambres (même si c'est lié justement à l'histoire et la topographie du bâtiment) sont une petite gène surtout pour un séjour de quelques nuits.

Sollte man mal gemacht haben
Es war interessant und angenehm im einem Ehemaligen Kloster zu wohnen. Es gab ausreichend Gemeinschaftstoiletten und Dusche, die sauber waren . Lustig ist, dass es ein Museumsbetrieb ist , indem die Schlafräume sind. Parkplatz wird umsonst gestellt

Un humble conseil à l’organisateur immobilier.
Nous comprenons le parti pris par l’opérateur de la maîtrise d’ouvrage : conserver l’esprit communautaire des religieuses en laissant les cellules~chambres sans sanitaire individuel ni conditionnement. Nous pensons qu’il s’agit d’une vision un peu trop idéologique qui ne favorisera pas la réussite d’une prestation hôtelière souhaitée par les clients de façon globale. C’est amusant, certes, pour une frange de la clientèle sans doute. Mais cela ne fait pas une qualité hôtelière, si c’est quand même l’objectif partiel recherché, nous semble-t-il. Voyez un autre exemple de réussite hôtelière en reconversion de bâtiments historiques ou publics : Parador en Espagne . C’est une réussi te certaine. Le promoteur aurait mieux fait d’utiliser une cellule sur trois pour y faire deux salles de bains reliées aux cellules latérales. C’est un architecte qui vous écrit . Le projet actuel n’est pas abouti et c’est dommage . Nous donnons cet avis indépendamment de la question culturelle des festivités musicales, qui elle, est bien travaillée avec panache. En conclusion, il conviendrait que la maîtrise d’ouvrage ( mairie ? ) poursuive son effort dans le sens que nous indiquons, surtout lorsque nous avons pu constater le bel effort de traitement architectural des espaces communs. Autre point à travailler : insérer un ascenseur , c’est primordial . Si l’on veut faire de l’hôtellerie, il la faut de qualité avec des normes de confort, c’est une règle absolue.
