Hôtel Le Château Fort

This place is just amazing. Great staff, good food, drinks until late, pool table, comfortable beds, clean, good showers. I wanted to personally name the barman as he was so helpful and friendly however sadly I cannot remember his name. The location is great and very nice history staying in the castle.

I booked a suite 7 months ahead as part of a bigger trip yet when we arrived we were given a family suite instead of the more comfortable and well appointed suites. I had confirmed my booking a week in advance yet the superior accommodation was given to another guest who had booked only a week ahead. The suite was gloomy, with stark spotlights, no lamps, no soft furnishings and no pictures on the wall. To access it from the 6th floor you need to lug your luggage up three more short flights of stairs with dirty carpets, chipped paint and dusty plastic plants in pots. The bed was thankfully comfortable but the light switches turned off all the power intermittently. Needless to say the concierge was young and inexperienced and clearly had no idea how to respond to any of our polite requests to have the room we’d booked. Dinner in the hotel was average. Again no atmosphere, overhead lights, rushed service, a long wait (20 minutes) to get a drink or any water and the food on the evening fixed price menu was very uninspiring. Breakfast was ok. We came at 09.00 and much had run out and wasn’t replenished and there was no hot water for tea. Altogether a disappointing stay. The castle setting should be spectacular but it just isn’t. Whoever runs the hotel depends on the notion of it being exciting to stay in such an historic building without bothering with any of the comforts or touches the price tag should include.

Five couples from one family stayed at the Castle for one night as we moved from France to Belgium! We had a wonderful evening meal in the Castle's restaurant and a great night's sleep. I would highly recommend this Hotel for any one looking for a stay in a castle. We are a family of Americans trying to speak "bad French", the restaurant staff and the hotel staff we very kind and worked through our communication difficulties with patience and friendly service. The only regret I have is that we did not book our stay on a date that would have allowed us to take the "Evening Candlelight Tour" of the castle.

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.

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!!
