Hôtel le Château Fort de Sedan

A great Location within Sedan. Although the Chateau is a substantial older property, the sympathetic modern renovation is well done. Rooms are clean and have comfortable fixtures and fittings. Parking is within a secure Courtyard for both Cars and Bikes.

The worst two plates of food I've been presented with in years. 5 course menu and left after two courses as the Tartare was poorly prepared, nearly frozen and completely unseasoned. Picanha was totally inedible, was it fried off in the sous-vide bag? The restaurant staff were made aware of the issues and were unhelpful. Room issues. Safe didn't work because batteries hadn't been changed in years and had corroded. None of the extractor fans worked. Mold in the bathroom. Marks on the bed linen. Peeling paint work. Interesting building but requires tidying up, maintenance and someone to oversee what is happening in the kitchen. They still had the temerity to put the evening meal on the bill.

The castle is dramatic in it's contruction and the tour well worth the time. The hotel is part of the fort itself and is old and charming. Some rooms are being updated, but ours was already good. Staff friendly and efficient. Parking easy.

Nice serrounding. Rooms are warm and a bit small. There was a oldtimer meeting right in front of the hotel so we had constant car roaring because our room was in the front aswell. A bit annoying. Breakfast was mediocore. 3/5 i would say

Very disappointing. 5 Star building, 2 star experience. Wonderful location in the Chateau Sedan, but a terrible meal and issues with the cleanliness and condition of the room. Meal, 5 course "Le Menu Decouverte". The Tartare was poorly prepared and almost frozen and without any seasoning. Pork Picanha was completely inedible. Looked like it had been left in the sous vide bag. I gave up at that point as the kitchen clearly wasn't able to present edible food that evening. I could see other diners having issues too. Raised the issues with the waitress, but nothing was done. The two worst plates of food anyone has put in front of me for years. Communal areas are beautiful but the room had peeling paint, black mold in the bathroom, the extractor fans didn't work nor did the safe because batteries had been left in it for years and corroded. The Fort walls may be a metre thick, but those between the bedrooms are so thin my bed moved when the guest next door got into their bed. Parking was only available from 6pm onwards, there were no spaces in the communal parking outside of the Fort. 2 stars because the check in experience and communal areas were good. All the above issues were raised with staff and they were uninterested.

The restaurant and fortress were amazing. The room was just okay.

Great property set above the town of Sedan in the fort. Huge thick stone walls & the bedrooms have tiny windows but they are modern & well presented. We had dinner in the restaurant & it was excellent. We were told that a group would be dining so we went slightly earlier then them & it worked out well. Breakfast was fine, could have done with an extra member of staff to keep buffet topped up but it wasn't a problem Excellent value for money. Car park inside the fort walls is from 6pm to 10 am however you can drop of luggage at other times. Great reception team too.

Beautiful building but the most terrible service Im here now in the restaurant on the 3rd floor - beautiful Food 2nd rate and service disgusting I have a serious fish and shellfish allergy which was conveyed to staff - starter arrived fish pate- get that epipen loaded if if wasn’t for my friend i would had put it in my mouth- stopped short because it smelt fishy - waiters response- shoulder shrug and no understand Husband a diabetic given full coke. Reception staff amazing but totally let down by restaurant and bar staff. Beautiful place to stay but don’t eat or drink here Staff are angry and ignorant. I love my breaks in France beautiful country such friendly and welcoming nation but not at the chateau!!

A huge disappointment. We looked forward to this stay as the location and restaurant as shown on the website promised a stay to remember. It was, for the wrong reasons. We were told we could not park the car in the castle grounds, which meant we could unload then take the car to the car park below and then walk in the stifling heat back up the hill to the hotel. Then at 6pm repeat the process. We took our belongings to the room and noted other people had parked and were not moving their cars. We followed suit and there were no issues. The room was small and as it was very high the window could not be opened. There was no aircon in the room, but there was in the hall outside. The temperature was above 30 degrees. We went down for a drink and the poor girl on reception had to dash over to serve us, staffing issues like everywhere else. The restaurant was a joke, the food was sub-standard for somewhere that charges such prices. Our starters were tasteless; my main of turbot was nothing like any turbot I have eaten. I have always lived by the sea and know my fish. This was two tiny portions of what looked like tails of a small plaice and not even dressed properly. It was a very small dish more like a tapas size. My wife loves lamb but she found hers inedible, it was chewy. My dessert was listed as chocolate mousse, and was grainy and dense, not at all a mousse. A dreadful meal.
