Easy and free parking. Minimal staff. Decent size room. Had to haul suitcases upstairs then down a few again to get to the room. Good restaurant but understaffed.

Comfortable hotel with very good food.

This was an overnight stay on our way south. It is easy to get to from the motorway. Our room was at the back and was quiet. The bed was big and very comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and the food was very good. Paint Aubrey is a small village on the main road from Avalon to Vezaley. Overall I thought it was good value and would return if we were in the area.

One night Stay

Pleasant staff who could understand our basic French but helped out with English if needed! Room good although ones at the front are on the main road. Good double glazing to stop the road noise but means you can't really have the window open so room with a family 4 in was a bit too hot overnight. Breakfast good. Didn't have dinner as most of our family are vegetarian or eat fish and menu was mainly meat. Overall a good place to stay as a break from travelling on the A6

Good overnight location

We stayed overnight on our way back from skiing and it is very convenient as its 10 min from A6 and 10 min from the beautiful medieval town of Vézelay. Room was good enough for us, although it had a persistent smell and had to leave window open quite a bit to get the smell out. Breakfast was good enough too, but no vegetables offerred for instance and to pay 36 EUR for 2 adults and 2 children with a fairly limited choice is on the steep side. But there is no other option around if you want to ear something in the morning. The homemade yoghurt was delicious. All in all a good overnight choice. Probably would stay again

In the area of Vezelay, France

Quiet hotel. Very comfy and in the country in Burgundy, France. Hotel has restaurant--dinner is excellent and very good breakfast in the morning. Plenty of parking across the street in the hotel parking lot.

Delightful hotel in small village

This is a pleasant small hotel with easy road access to Avallon and Vezelay. It is worth noting that both Pontaubert and Avallon are closed on Sunday and Monday, the hotel restaurant was closed on Sunday, but served a good meal on the Monday. They are hapy to book you in for a meal at the other hotel in the village for Sunday evening. Be aware that the rooms are on the small side - fine as long as you do not have two huge suitcases, as we did.

Peaceful stay

We stayed here for one night on our way to Switzerland. It was a cozy stay with good service, and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. We arrived several hours prior to check-in, but the man there got us our room and made sure we had everything we needed. The room was very small, but it was nice.

Lovely hotel in beautiful surroundings.

I chose the hotel for the location near Auxerre as an overnight stop on the way to Paris. For the price of the room the value was very good. The village is absolutely picturesque and I intend to go back for a longer break.

Great Hotel

We only stayed here for one night to break our journey to the south of France. Our stay was a very pleasurable one, the food in the restaurant was excellent and the breakfast was sufficient. The room was very comfortable and clean and the bathroom facilities were good. The couple that run it are very friendly. Overall a pleasurable stay.
