Restaurant le Rabelais

Lovely pleasant stay.

Very friendly and smiling staff. Very nice and clean room! Nice restaurant menu and generous breakfast. We only made one stop but we had time to enjoy the pool. I will return with my eyes closed.

A very pleasant, quiet, and well-maintained hotel. Good restaurant and full breakfast. A choice of local homemade jams instead of industrial products would be a plus for an establishment of this quality.

Excellent stay in Fontenay-le-comte

For the first time in my life, I give a hotel 10/10! Everything was perfect, from the covered parking where there is a free charging station, to the spacious room, very well equipped (only downside, the lighting is not great for shaving) with a large screen TV and Canal Plus, Euro and Bein Sport channels included! The hotel's decor is sophisticated, the restaurant is spacious and well-glazed, surrounded by a well-maintained garden, the cuisine is varied and refined with very good value for money, the spa has a sauna, a relaxation room, a gym and a sensory shower, all free. I recommend the massages carried out by a quality professional. Then there are the staff. Whether in the room, the restaurant or the reception, it's a competition to see who will be the friendliest, the most smiling and the kindest. In this little game, the receptionists on the day of departure were beyond all our expectations. It is with great pleasure that I thank this entire team (and everything is super clean)

Ideal when going to the circuit at 5 min by car. Free parking, large pool, efficient air conditioning, very nice welcome especially since I was arriving late. Very nice quiet and quiet location. The breakfast could be improved with more vegetables, more eggs and non dairy milk however without that it is already good.

Great hotel. Loved everything about our stay!

We were travelling down from St Malo to Bergerac and wanted a midway point to stay. We were delighted with the hotel, the food was incredible and the hotel very clean and welcoming.
The town of Fontenay de Comte was a bit disappointing but the hotel definitely was not.

This is great hotel made to feel very welcome on arrival by the receptionist and Frederick. Took our bikes to a safe garage for overnight storage. Room was great with everything we needed including a kettle. Great shower afterca hot days cycling and then relaxed by the pool.

Restaurant was also great the food was amazing and the staff all very young and hard working and attentive they arexa credit to your hotel.

Superbe établissement. Personnel aux petits soins. Chambre incroyablement spacieuse, bonne literie. Repas plus que correct.

Pleasant hotel. Facilities good, restaurant good, amazing staff. A very relaxing stay

Pleasant

The room was okay but aging, lots of scratches on the shelves (next to the TV and in the bathroom) the walk-in shower tray is yellowed by time, the joints are worn the shower tiles give a room effect. On the ceiling there was a completely missing piece of ceiling, part of which was wedged with corks and the bathroom door did not want to stay closed. As for the bed we had to redo it before going to bed, the cover did not stay on the mattress, moreover it was much too soft. We only had one extra pillow in the closet, which I left for my husband. The air conditioning in the room was set to 23 ° which is way too hot for sleeping. Apart from that the restaurant was perfect and the spa very pleasant even if for me the massage was too light in terms of support.

A beautiful hotel, quiet, pretty, and well-kept. Very pleasant; a little effort on breakfast and it would be flawless. A great menu at the restaurant for dinner

perfect business trip.

Nothing special, maybe a little expensive for the service

Very good stay, pleasant hotel and friendly and welcoming staff

Welcoming and efficient staff. Enjoy the terrace room with access to the garden. We always eat in the evening at the restaurant and enjoy the security of the garage facility. The rooms are becoming a little tired and could do with some attention. There is a kettle for drinks but only 2 sachets of coffee/tea are left and no milk. Only 1 bottle of water left also. The towels also are a little shabby.

Excellent stopover, the rooms are well appointed, nicely decorated and very comfortable. The restaurant offers high quality local cuisine for reasonable prices. The wine list is well thought out with a nice selection of Vendée wines that I recommend. In short, a pleasant stopover that makes you want to come back. Thanks to the manager and the team.

The rooms are too heated.

As usual, the comfort and service are of quality.

Beautiful establishment, all the staff are professional and very pleasant.

Home. Room Restaurant Everything was perfect.

The receptionist questioned our support and almost made us pay for meals even though we were on a stopover and only the extras should have been paid for.

C'est mon hôtel préfété lorsque je visite la zone.
Extra.

Great, whether it's the room or the perfect restaurant

Very welcoming, accepts animals, tranquility, perfect breakfast... I recommend.

A warm welcome and professional and friendly staff

Friendly staff, high quality restaurant. Very pleasant stay.

Remarkable, attentive and smiling staff. I recommend without hesitation

We had a great stay at this hotel, with a warm welcome, comfortable and spacious rooms. It was perfect!

Despite mainly wet weather our return visit was most enjoyable. All staff were courteous and helpful, even assisting in sourcing a new cable for my wife’s phone charger. A wide ranging menu made selection each evening straightforward. Thank you for a very positive experience.

Very nice Comfortable Hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful

Really appreciated the SPA. The staff is very pleasant.

Nous soulignerons surtout la gentillesse et la serviabilité du personnel.

Room 53 faults !! Bathroom light not working above sink. Electric plug socket falling out of wall !! Can send photos.Had to ask for more coffee ( not replenished ) . Paper cups unsuitable for hot drinks. My wife burnt her hand !! Food ok in restaurant but could have been warmer and expensive compared with other restaurants in the local area. Limited fresh fruit at breakfast.

A stop on our journey to Brittany

Very good time

Hello, Paying 127 euros for a room, almost twice as much as the Ibis de la Roche sur Yon, whose quality of bedding we know, and having an uncomfortable 140cm wide foldaway wall bed is called making fun of customers. I asked reception if we could have a room with a more comfortable bed and was told that we had booked late: is this a valid reason for us to be given a so-called "comfort" room with a lower quality when its price is the same as the other "comfort" rooms? In addition, the room did not have windows and opened onto the car park. Its air conditioning was noisy and we could hear the neighbours. Needless to say, the stay was anything but pleasant! And I feel like I've been ripped off!

I recommend a good stay

Very nice hotel!

Everything was perfect. Very good attentive team. Good cuisine with different suggestions every day. Clean and functional room and large size well appointed. Top swimming pool and garden for having an aperitif.

Very well received and very receptive. Thanks again

perfect and competent, friendly and attentive staff

Very nice hotel ideally located for excursions in the Green Venice (go to St Sigismond for the pier). Very nice welcome, impeccable service, large swimming pool and good restaurant. We highly recommend

Great I recommend with pleasure there is wonderful staff frankly I would come back with pleasure

Pleasant and relaxing setting and always a very good level of catering and with indisputable value for money

Second summer for us at Rabelais! Always delighted, the children love it too! Everything is perfect both in the hotel and in the restaurant!

Staff were lovely very friendly - everything was of a high standard

Beautiful hotel restaurant and bar

Great value for money, with lovely food & service

A very nice discovery, passing through the area, I was very pleasantly surprised. Hotel, restaurant, environment, nothing to complain about.

Very poor quality bedding impacts other services

A wonderful experience. Just a few things that could have been added: There was no milk available with the coffee provided in the room. It was impossible to access the restaurant menu without a smartphone as it was on a QR code. Only one bottle of water for two of us. The menu was great for someone wanting a three course meal but more flexibility such as room service would have been useful, especially when, like us, a couple arrives after a long drive and just wants to eat and rest. We would like to plan a future holiday when we can stay at the hotel again en route as it provided a welcome overnight stop where we could fully relax.

Very warm welcome, very good value for money

Excellent one night stay in good room with very helpful, professional staff

Very good establishment. Quiet, comfortable with perfect service. The icing on the cake, the hotel has Canal Sport and on the evenings of the European championship (semi-final) it is very appreciated.

A very clean and good sized room. A very good breakfast.

Perfect

The hotel is very well located for attending the Espace R CASSIN concert. The only downside is the noise from the road in room 52. Thank you for accepting dogs

Séjour agréable, dans un établissement propre, bien équipé, et bien situé.

We had a good stay here but we left 3 stars for welcome as the ladies at reception were not particularly welcoming and were, if anything, unfriendly. When we checked out the receptionist didn’t ask if we enjoyed our stay or wish us Bon Voyage. In fact she didn’t say goodbye until my husband said it first. Service in the restaurant was very good both nights. The food was excellent and great value but breakfast was not notable, I would have expected better for this level of hotel and the price.
The room was comfortable but the lighting was dim except for the strange blue light above the curtain. Bizarre!

I find that the catering was not up to standard during my stay. Nothing to say about the service and the quality of the room. 8 euros for a glass of bel canto is limited.

Charming welcome, very pleasant setting, quality cuisine. Well-equipped PMR room.

Very nice Hotel

Superb establishment, welcome, spacious and very clean room. Very good restaurant and breakfast. I recommend

Quiet hotel with beautiful rooms with direct access to the garden, ideal with dogs. Excellent catering and impeccable, smiling service.

Everything is perfect, a must in Fontenay.

very good hotel, I highly recommend it, clean, well soundproofed, nice bathroom. We had a good night's sleep.

Good experience. It would be good to put mattress toppers so as not to have “hollows” between the single beds put together to make a double bed. Very pleasant bubble bath. Very good food with a pleasant team.

Very nice surprise, And again we were on a business trip and we did not take the time to enjoy the SPA. High quality Evening Stopover, I highly recommend,

Pleasant hotel with its rooms on the ground floor opening directly onto the garden. Excellent restaurant (cockle pasta and lobster tartare) with impeccable and warm service.

Very good hotel and restaurant, nothing to envy of the mercury of the accor group Top staff, very appreciative and smiling customer contact Very good value for money in the evening stopover Two suggestions More light in the room Room with more warmth for arrival Otherwise I will renew my booking in the coming weeks

Warmed and excellent stay at Rabelais hotel

Very nice hotel

Repeat client. Very good service, convenient and friendly. Restaurant very good.

it was perfect

Excellent stopover. Comfortable hotel and good restaurant. We leave rested and very happy with this choice.

Quiet, friendly, pleasant staff, Very good restaurant

Very nice hotel, spacious, comfortable and modern rooms. Hearty buffet breakfast. Welcoming and attentive staff

Bed a bit small

Loved everything about the hotel

Very good address, restaurant a little expensive

Overall, the stay went well. I treated myself to a massage, it was extremely pleasant, very nice service. For dinner, an excellent surprise, especially for the main course, truly magnificent. For the room, the quality of the bedding is disappointing. Access to the shower is perilous, very high step, slippery tiles.

Very nice stop. Room and catering at the top.

The staff are very professional and friendly and I felt that they are all a credit to your organisation. We thought that they excelled in their duties.
We used the swimming pool which was well maintained, clean and the sun loungers, parasols and chairs are kept in an excellent condition.
My only negative comment is that the night that we ate at the hotel, there was a coach party in the dining room and I don't know if it was because of that, but at 20.00 we ordered the meal and wine and within minutes, the wine arrived, followed by an amuse bouche and before we had time to eat it, the main course arrived. (We had not ordered an entree.) No sooner had we finished the mai course, but the plates were taken away and within five minutes, our dessert arrived..The staff were attentive and polite throughout but before 21.00 we had finished and the room was being prepared for breakfast the next morning. We live in France and are used to a more casual mealtime.
We did however really enjoy our stay and would stop there again if we are in the region.

The hotel is very pleasant, calm, the swimming pool at 30° is appreciable. The spa is very pleasant and the massage service excellent. A real relaxing stopover! And above all the staff is very welcoming and qualified. He is considerate and really "caring" for his customers. We feel the good atmosphere between the staff members, which adds. The terrace room is a real plus: access to the swimming pool, small table and chairs, a little home, a very appreciable private relaxation area. We will definitely go back..

Very good stay! Friendly and efficient staff. Good restaurant!

very quiet and well maintained.
