Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"very poor" (107916524)
Hotel & grounds Good
The Chalet accommodation in the grounds was disgusting smell of damp,the bed covers and blankets must be 30 years old,and the general apperance of the outside resembles a campsite toilet block,it is a shame as the hotel look so nice.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"Very good. " (107976181)
Beautiful secluded Chateau in large wooded park. Rooms in the Park in seperate chalets away from main building. Excellent dinner in the Chateau cellar restaurant and breakfast in a magnificent room also in the Chateau.
Difficult to find the hotel and my Tom Tom did not recognise the address. As a result we arrived in the dark and so our Room in the Park was difficult to find and the night reception did not speak English. TV in room did not work.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"We stayed twice - once on our way down to the south and again on the way back and it was very good both times. The approach through the local housing estate was a little concerning but once through the gates the chateau makes up for it - so don't be put off!! Helpful staff (despite some of our limited language) and an excellent restaurant in the cellar. I would definitely stay there again." (97181883)
Although the 90 rooms in the chateau are a little tired the whole building makes up for it - a charming chateau, beautiful furniture.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"A very satisfactory stay within a peaceful park.Do not be put off by what some people have called 'tower blocks' nearby.This is a smallish estate of flats which is no bother at all. The hotel grounds are peaceful and secure, with a visiting pheasant or two.Be prepared to pay a little more than at some other hotels for the evening meal but it is worth it for the gastronomic and atmospheric restaurant. You might need to book to make sure you are axpected if eating in restaurant.Overall very relaxing and comfortable with pleasant staff.We would stop there again." (97454995)
Peace and quiet overnight. Very atmospheric restaurant.
Set menu in restaurant a little expensive for transit stay but very good food.

Quiet, in a nice parc
The room should be aerated before the guests arrive. Obviously this was nor done.

Apart from cracked sink, thought bathroom was well designed and looked nice because of tiled areas, etc. Like having tea making facilities in room.
It was a bit dark (lights not that bright to brighten it up as it was out in the park and sunlight limited due to dull weather). One bed-side light did not work and cracked sink. Liquid milk would be better than powdered milk for tea drinkers.

We were made to park in another car park 200 metres from our accomodation, whereas there was a perfectly large car park 20 m from our accomodation.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"Having stayed in French Chateau's before we had no real prior expectations. On arrival the reception was very welcoming and during our stay allbeit breif we found the general standard very clean and comfortable, and the restaurant staff very pleasant and accommodating and as my husband and I both enjoy fine dining we found the cuisine very good, and it was a central location for the places that we wanted to visit." (3305203900)
It was located in a very peaceful and tranquil setting, very relaxing and very clean.
Overall there was nothing to dislike.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"The stay was very good value for money. The dinner was one of the best we have eaten - first class ingredients and beautifully presented. The Chateau was further from the town centre than we had realised but, having walked in , there was no problem getting a taxi back. Breakfast was served in a lovely room within the Chateau. Although the Chateau and dining room were very elegant they were not stuffy and you did not need to get formally dressed up." (3305002745)
It was quiet and at night we could hear owls as we walked back from dinner.
It was very dark.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"When breakfast is offered till 10am I do not expect empty plates on the buffet table at 8.30 where items have not been replenished. I expect to be offered more coffee, I expect the toaster to be working, I expect to be asked if there is any thing I require. In short I expect a certain level of competance and service. The very poor breakfast experience was in complete contrast to the previous evenings meal in the restaurant which was extremely good value and was served in a professional and friendly manner. The poor breakfast would not stop me recommending this hotel but it was by far the worst hotel breakfast I have had in the past couple of years and this includes several trips to Eastern Europe."

Restaurant facilities offer an excellent, affordable cuisine of the highest standards. There is no bar but drinks are available from the restaurant. The accommodation is a little out of Cambrai town centre and taxis are hard to come by therefore vehicle is required." (1887376)

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"No lift access to second floor. Standard rooms comfortable but rather basic. Very limited selection of TV chanels for British Visitors. We were travelling by Motor cycle and Car parking is particularily important, this car park was very good, clean and secure. The hotel decor and standards are generally very impressive and the meals were excellent with prompt and efficient service." (2158855)
Hotel and grounds very impressive from exterior, Large, flat, surfaced car park with easy access to hotel.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"I would have liked to have known that they did not help with luggage. That the lift only operated from the first floor, therefore you had to carry your luggage up two flights of stairs before the lift became available. That tea making facilities were not available. Our welcome, especially as we had come from another chateau which had been excellent, was to say the least bad. We were merely handed a key told our room was on tne second floor and that was it." (1523595)
Room clean and good size. Restaurant on site very good.
Our welcome was very poor. We were not shown our room, helped with our luggage or told where the other facilities were ie breakfast, dinner.

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"The hotel is impossible to find. The park itself is located in a council estate of high-rise tower blocks. Although the Chateau itself is imposing (if architecturally rather bland) the rooms in the park are little more than pre-fabricated chalets. Cleanliness and overall impression was poor. Staff were less than helpful. A poor experience." (1460565)
Very little
Cleanliness was poor, seemed to be infested with mosquitoes

Château De La Motte Fenelon, Cambrai - Reviews & Ratings"We upgraded our initial booking because the room in the annex area (some 200m from the main building) was of a very poor standard. I highly recommend spending the little extra to appreciate the chateau. The food is excellent. The web site directions are a joke - They direct you towards a small village on the outskirts of Cambrai (Anneux) - ignore this as the hotel is in fact near the city centre. Overall - a very good hotel." (1328058)
Room in the Chateau very good. Food excellent
Impossible to find if you follow the directions on the web site. Found hotel by sheer luck.
