Find the Cheap Longpont Hotels

Wow, talk about sad and neglected 'faded glory'. We did not stay at Hotel De'Abbaye as planned last night as it is nothing like represented by the pictures on the Priceline site. The internet website is helping to promote a facility that simply no longer exists in reality. The place is very clearly uncared for, unmaintained and, in truth, is a complete shambles. The building badly smells of damp, the bedrooms are dark, very small and decidedly grim and the decor/furniture/facilities are so old and tired as to at the point of no return. The restaurant was not open even though this was a Saturday evening and the host (who actually came across as being a rather deluded but pleasant and nice enough man) didn't seem to have any idea about the fact that the hotel he is running has become no more than a dump. There was a French couple who arrived very smartly dressed for a wedding in the village. They both entered the hotel looking happy and presumably had booked in for the evening, but came out wearing face masks and looking very annoyed. They drove away. It is simply not good enough (and very probably deceptive) for this hotel to be representing itself in the way that they are doing so online. The pictures are very deceptive and very obviously from about 2017/2018 when this premises was apparently very well run by the previous managers. We had to unnecessarily fork out for other (very nice) accommodation fairly nearby. I will be suggesting to Priceline (which I am doing separately) that someone urgently pays an unannounced visit so that they can see that this is a distinct misrepresentation of what is now available and see the grim truth with their own eyes.

The hotel was very comfortable and was very comfortable and very comfortable. Attention, there are cats, so don't leave your waste on the ground outside (the receptionist had to collect residues of chicken carcasses that negligible customers had left in a krafft bag even on the ground ...) The nice side of this commercial area is a NOZ and a ALDI. Ideal for a 'scale' night. (Wonderbox)

This is standard Ibis and I cannot fault them on the room or the value for money (£130.00 for two rooms, 3 adults). At first sight one might think that the hotel is too close to the main roads which run along two sides of it but the screening of trees is quite effective. Getting into the commercial zone where it is situated is relatively easy but because of one way streets you cannot return precisely on the same route. It meant that when we went to dinner which we could see just the other side of the road we had to drive a huge distance in a circle to get there. Fortunately, when we left in the morning we were driving through Soissons so the vagaries of the one way system were in our favour. We had two rooms on the ground floor which meant we could park the car outside and pass the luggage through the window which was handy. Breakfast was the standard Ibis fare and plentiful and fresh. .

The hotel was very comfortable and very badly staffed because they refused to pay me the stay fee for 2 people by error while I was alone. Inacceptable hygiene because blood tasks are present on the madraws, from mosquito to joints in the bathroom, no support for the shower apple. The bathroom is completely shaken after having taken a shower. So it is impossible to go back to the toilet or laundry without finding your feet in the water ... It is almost impossible to find a parking place taken by the many trucks of workers in the evening. Noises to quite late in the evening because they go out to talk, eat and drink a little bit between themselves. Without talking about cleaning staff who speak neither French, nor English, nor Spanish, which complicates communication and especially who comes every day in the room at 9 a.m. despite the ” not disturb ” card !!! The only positive point that justifies the only star is the presence of a microwave and a refrigerator. Conclusion: I do not recommend this hotel. Even the price of €45 per night is far too expensive for this level of comfort. It is an abnormality when you see the size of the room and the state in which it is. I strongly disadvise. It is the first time I have met such bad experience in a hotel for this price there...

Good hotel with friendly staff however when we came to check out, the drinks and food on room bills were totally wrong . They had added other items on which we had not consumed. It was a total mix up , do not ask them to put charges on your room . We were over an hour late leaving sorting out the additional charges which were not ours .
