Detailed Reviews
Soreze is some sort of French ghost town. When people say there is nothing there, they are not lying. There IS nothing there. But the abbey is a must stay. One, or at the most, two nights will be all that is needed but you are in for a delightful treat. The rooms are good and spacious and the halls vanish into the distance. It is haunted so beware.
Part of the abbey is a restaurant. You must eat here. You will personally witness some of the finest French food you may ever taste. We were pleasantly shocked when we dined at the restaurant. This is where technical, skill, balance and shear good cooking appear as a tasty morsel before you. You have died and gone to French heaven.
You will not go away full but pleasantly satisfied and you will find yourself talking about your experience at the hands of a French master for days. Heaven on a plate in a French Abbaye.

Back to the past... Here is a very romantic place in a historic setting. Went here for several times, either for professional conventions or for a short break. Always perfect. High level restauration. Comfortable rooms, old of course, but all what you may need is here.

This is quite a special if rather unusual place - it is in part of what was a huge quasi-military academy in what was originally an abbey. Founded in the 18th century, it wasn't finally closed until 1991. The hotel occupies part of the original building, a museum another part and there is a training academy run by a pharmaceutical firm in another part. This partly explains why it is such a strange mixture.
There are also two accommodation wings, with different star ratings, one 2-star and one 3, we stayed in the 3-star part, originally the male staff accommodation (the other was the female staff) I think the only difference is the room size. Our room was good size, with a bathroom that was adequate and no more with rather noisy pipes. The restaurant is very good although the menu is rather restricted if you are not having half-board (and then there is no choice). Breakfast excellent, staff excellent.
Access by car is straightforward - they tell you where to go at reception on arrival, and it is easy enough to drive into the main courtyard before getting the route and the keycode for the private car park (which has its own entrance to the hotel). The grounds are vast and the village very quiet, our room looked over to a large tree and nothing else, at the night we heard the leaves rustling and owls hooting, nothing else at all.
The building has been modernised to an extent, but the long echoing corridors and some rather lovely conference rooms are evocative of the former use of the building. It is strongly advisable to visit the museum next door, because then you can understand the place better. (It also has a superb exhibition of tapestry.)
A very peaceful and evocative place to stay, that could never appear overcrowded because of its sheer size, and there remain elements of its institutional past as part of the modern hotel.
There was a wedding party arriving as we left, a wonderful setting for that.
There's not a great deal to do round about, apart from walking. The village has a small but very good glass museum, but that's about it.
Highly recommended.

10pm Saturday night, we wanted an after dinner drink in the bar, so did another party of 4. A notice said if the bar was not attended to speak to reception. Apparently, all the staff were in the kitchen and could not help and the previously helpful receptionist knew how to make a cup of coffee, but not how to pour a brandy! The building is impressive, the room very basic and the service......

The location was in a small nice village and the hotel outside was ok. the communal spaces were fine but the rooms were in poor - very poor conditions. I felt more being in a hospital rather than a hotel. If the price of the room was at below 100 euro, it could have been acceptable (although still poor interior design), but at such a high price this is a disappointment.

Although it was a perfect summer evening the staff refused to serve dinner on the terrace - one of the reasons we'd booked the hotel was to eat on the terrace. They muttered about recent storms meaning some tidying up needed to be done but basically they just couldn't be bothered to straighten out the tables and chairs. One often comes across this attitude in France i.e. the staff organize things to suit themselves rather than the clients.
It's such a shame that this slack lazy attitude lets down the overall client experience - the place is really lovely but we find this kind of attitude very annoying. I would have heartily recommended the place otherwise.

Interesting place but much too spartan and tacky for us. No drawers in the room for belongings, no charm or decor. We really felt we were staying in a monastery with few amenities. We arrived in town at 1:30pm and could not find lunch served in the hotel or anywhere else in the small town. Had to go to the SuperX market and buy bread and cheese. Won't return.

We booked a night at this hotel but the 2 ** version which adjoins it. Our room was right at the top up 2 flights of stairs. The room itself was clean and comfortable and the shower worked great once you got the hang of it! The hotel also allows pets which meant we could take our dog.
In the evening we tried to get a coffee from the bar. The very pleasant barman quickly took our order but then vanished for about 20 minutes. When he did reappear he was most apologetic and gave us the coffees free. A similar delay happened when we asked for a beer later but these were not offered free! At 3€ for a small beer these are not cheap drinks!
Breakfast, which is in the same place for both hotels was a huge let down. There were only 2 cold meats on offer, 2 cheeses and sliced bread. The unsliced bread was not refilled and it was only 9am. I was put off as well by the fact that one pair of guests had brought their admittedly very well behaved labrador into the breakfast room with them and they were next to the cold meat table.
The grounds of the hotel were excellent for a gentle stroll with our own dog before we set off home. The building was originally the world famous Abbey School and continued as an educational establishment until the 1990's albeit as a military training school from about 1800 I think! The rooms have a very informative booklet with the history of the School in it in English and French.

In July, we went to Soreze for work. All my colleagues were staying in the main building which is nice, cosy and clean. BUT they gave me a room in the back of the building which is more like a barn. Already the staircase is very dirty and old. The room is small,dark and very old. The worst is that it is very loud. You can hear EVERYTHING. At night I had the feeling that someone was walking in my room. Not to mention when the toilet was flushed.
The next day, I went to the reception and the ladies there agreed that I could get a room in the main building the next day. When I went at the reception the next day, the Office Manager did not want to give me the room. I explained to her that this was the agreement I had with hear employees the day before. Then she started shouting at me and saying that she does not have a room. This was VERY rude and unprofessional. Especially being the Officer Manager there. Clearly this lady is not suitable to do this job.
At the end I could change the room to the main building and the room was nice but I still don't like the fact that this lady was so rude.
