La Maison de Rhodes le Champ des Oiseaux Reviews

We had email exchanges with La Maison De Rhodes before our visit so we were already confident that this was a well-run hotel, but the reality was so much more. Firstly, inside and outside it is stunning - the old stone and wood frontage of the property and wrought ironwork lead you to a wood beamed interior, exposed brickwork, lots of dried flowers and plump sofas. Our room was stunning with ceiling beams, white linen and stone floors and a very comfortable bed. The location was ideal, down a side street by the Cathedral. The staff were friendly and very helpful, providing restaurant recommendations, arranging taxis etc We had a really lovely 3 days in Troyes and La Maison de Rhodes was a huge part of that.

An absolute family-run gem and a must try if you are in Troyes. This charming hotel offers the right mixture of historical charm and all the luxuries one would need. You’re only a stone’s throw away from the cathedral in the heart of the old city. The restaurant is exquisite and the staff are all extremely friendly and helpful. I will most definitely return with my girlfriend!

Really enjoyed our stopover here, a well furnished ancient building although with lots of steps up and down and around just near the cathedral. Rooms round the courtyards. Ours was on the ground floor with a vast bathroom and interesting architecture, a ‘wow’ on first seeing. Bed very comfortable. Meal was good home cooking, but thats French home cooking so excellent. Breakfast everything superb quality. And the rose window in the cathedral was worth the trip. Minor inconvenience was very poor lighting in bedroom, difficult for older eyes.

I can not say enough good things about this hotel. The facility is wonderful. Historic but with modern amenities, quality furnishings, and a very clean interior. The staff is super kind and respectful. The food is wonderful and the town is beautiful. Definitely coming back for longer.

What a delightful hotel. Staff super friendly and an idyllic spot in beautiful Troyes. Evening meal was from a limited menu but excellent quality and in amazing courtyard setting. Room was superb - felt like a bit part in a medieval historical setting. A wonderful experience, significantly down to such lovely staff. Thank you.

This was our first visit to Troyes to explore the lesser-known region of Champagne. When we checked in we got upgraded to a beautiful suite. The ancient building has been tastefully upgraded without losing its historical charm. The desk staff is very friendly but could use a bit more training. It is located in the historic city center, and you can walk to the cathedral, which I could also see from the bathroom window. The grounds are beautiful and they even have a small pool. I would say that this is more of a romantic hotel and not suited for children. It's expensive and other guests won't want the atmosphere ruined by children. If you are handicapped, this is not the place for you either as you will have to do some stairs. We loved the intimate restaurant, but a little staff training could be used there too. Food is very good, if not a bit expensive, as is the breakfast at 31 euros. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at this historic property.

One of my favorite hotels in France, the energy in this place is precious.i slept like a baby! The welcoming of the owner and the gentleness of the staff is heartwarming. You can feel the hardwork and the attention to details behind it all. We had a meal and a glass of wine at night. It was just what was needed after a long day driving. We always make it a point every few years to come back to this lovely hotel. I can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful building - lovely room (and upgraded to suite) great bed… no shower. Avoid eating here if can - possibly the worst meal we have eaten in France… inedible, bland, and €30 euros for truly terrible pasta - shamefully likened to pasta from the Cipriani - breakfast €31 very over priced. Parking - we paid for on site parking - at no point did anyone inform us there only 3 parking spaces & it you have a long car you may not fit in… we also had bikes on the back of ours… so 3 huge cars in a tiny space - we had to take our bikes off (that’s never happened at any hotel we have parked at before!) Huge hassle, they did assist us however. So, lovely room, dreadful food, and huge hassle just to park a car. For which I received a glass of champagne (for the parking situation) they tried to charge me for that on check out! No apologies, no gesture regarding food - total cost €600 for one night. And if 5 star makes you think there will be someone knocking around reception, forget that… the staff turned out the reception lights and pushed off (11 pm ish) - after they had kicked us out of the restaurant (we had met a very jolly couple at dinner, which was as a highlight) as they had to set it for breakfast… but breakfast was in fact, in another room! Although some of the staff sweet & helpful - the staff further up the ladder need retraining in hospitality & client management.

Great location, authentic building but overpriced for what you get. Shower only had bathtub and no place to put the showerhead (no fixture) so you have to hold it in your hand all the time. Furthermore, the bathtub has no glass showerwall so the bathroom gets very wet while showering. Not the bathroom you would expect. Breakfast also expensive for what you get. Electric destination charging is supposed to be free, but can only be done inside the property for which they charge € 39 per night.

We came here for our wedding anniversary, very warm welcome, room lovely, but very noisy with children running up and down stairs past room. All was going very well, until we went out and in a rush I left my emerald bracelet on bedside table, when I realised we came straight back, maid was in room and rushed out. My bracelet was not there. I spoke to reception who said they would speak to maids, they never did, I have since emailed 5 times asking if they had any news or what the maids had said and I have been ignored on every email, not even a sorry we spoke to maids and they did not see it. Be very wary and the safe was out of order otherwise my jewellery would have been in there. Never had anything go missing in a hotel of this class and found the ignoring of me very very poor

The hotel is beautiful and situated in a very quiet but convenient part of Troyes. The grounds are lovely and our room was charming and well presented. The bed was extremely comfortable. Dinner was awful so much so that my husband could not eat his. The service was very slow, we had to chase to be given menus, waited ages between the two courses and then after the main course were told it was a 20 minute wait for dessert!!! We complained and the hotel gave us a 50% reduction. We have never eaten such a poor meal in France. Breakfast the next morning was good but cost a staggering euro 31.00 per person. We were a group of two couples so our breakfast bill came to euro 124.00 for breads, croissant, OJ, coffee, yoghurt, fruit and one small omelette and one scrambled egg we thought was outrageous.

Gretar location and staff

Beautifully renovated property but way overpriced

In September 2021, we ended a month in France with two wonderful nights at La Maison de Rhodes. It was perfect in every way - an historic building close to the center of Troyes; beautiful rooms; breakfasts and dinners we will always remember; and a staff that treated us like long-time friends. We look forward to our next visit!
