Les Canisses

Staff were not fluent in English, but we were able to figure out enough to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast not good for vegans.

Beautiful setting and friendly, helpful staff. We enjoyed our stay here.

A lovely place with caveats - it is on the shore of a Seine canal - whatever gave me the impression (now I am not sure if it was a picture or in the hotel description) of a beach, was wrong. Also "free parking" offered to be taken literally or technically - it is street parking on the side of the canal; not guaranteed but seemingly hotel confident it can accomodate all guests with vehicles. we arrived late in the evening and due to the seemingly very popular restaurant on site there was zero parking; nor was there any hotel worker to give you a hint as to how to proceed - making a u turn in that narrow road with the back to the Seine was kind of a thrill but the car was a rental... In the end we were able to find a spot while one of us went inside the hotel to ask for help/info. Nobody in the reception desk. Entered the restaurant which was packed and looked very upscale, everyone was focused in working the floor, so it is run jointly by same people. After the check in we were told no other food options in the area other than Burger kig and such, so decided to eat there. We were literally the last guests in the restaurant and the chef disappeared for a while leaving our main course get cold - portions were generous if not huge and esthetically well presented but taste was mediocre, but by the time everything came to the table we had lost all appetite anyway. Breakfast was mediocreThe next morning upon checkout we noticed they had not even charged us for the 100 euro dinner!

We had an overnight stay here on our way back to Calais. Electric car charging point available, although only 1 so we were lucky to get it! Slow charging so ideal as we left it overnight to be fully charged. Beautiful setting right on the Seine. We had a standard room which was perfectly good for 1 night: air con, big walk in shower, tea and coffee facilities (though take English tea bags if you like English tea!). We had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious and the staff were lovely. Breakfast the next day was delicious. Very good value and we would def stay here again if on our way to Calais.
