The châteaux was fantastic, we receive a room upgrade, champagne. My 5C privilege’s it was honored. The châteaux is a little castle in Pyrenees The front desk was good, a nice lady made our check-in, fast and friendly. Our room had a fabulous views and it was comfortable. The bathroom is good but we had only a bathtub, we don’t... More

This hotel is the perfect place to stay to expore the Pyrenees. It is elegant, the stay is extremely helpful and the setting fabulously tranquil and elegant. Our room was large and had a great view. We slept with the sound of the river. I think it's worth upgrading to a larger room with a view. The spa services are... More

First off, a glorious location, up a valley above steaming Prades, and within easy reach of many stunning attractions. The chateau is an amusing 19th century folly, decorated with flair. Doubtless it offers the best rooms. We stayed in two rooms in an annex that had both attractive features (large bathrooms, for example, and terraces) but also a serious draw-back:... More

Our first room, L'Olivier, was outside the main chateau (as expected); appearances were fine (good view of Mt. Canigou, reasonable size, terrace). Unfortunately, we discovered during the first night (when drapes were drawn) that the room reeked of mildew/mold. When we complained the next morning, we were offered another, inferior room (Pigeonnier)--view of the restaurant, no terrace, smaller); at least... More

I have only positive things to say about this hotel. After reading the reviews I was concerned about rooms that are not in the castle itself and food in the restaurant. However, I found the room in the outbuilding cute and clean, with amazing big bathroom and beautiful balacany with the views on the swimming pool and mountains. The only... More

My mother and I spent 6 nights at the Chateau. We booked full board so we wouldn't have to worry about anything once on holiday..... and we could just relax and enjoy. Oh, how wrong we were ! Let's start with the positive things. Fairy-tale chateau, beautifully decorated, fabulous, peaceful location. It's like being in another world. Staff very helpful... More

At nearly 300 euros a night for a middle category room I expect this to be a treat and it was. The setting and grounds are beautiful and our room on what I would call the 4th floor was large and charming with wonderful view through they very thick walls of the chateaux. We had a drinks in the bar... More

This was the last and most opulent hotel on our recent holiday. The chateau suite was exceptional in every way, fabulous views, charming and quirky rooms and immensely comfortable. The downside for us was the restaurant. Having had some wonderful dining experiences in France, the restaurant fell well short of expectations raised by the accommodation. The cooking is adequate if... More

The Chateau de Riell belongs to the Relais & Chateau Chain which is a sign for quality. It's run by the sister of "Les Pres d'Eugenie" owner - which again stands for quality. The Chateau de Riell is nested in the scenic mountains above Prades. Already when you arrive and you see the romantic castle you're happy you came. The... More
