I found this last minute upon arriving in Mende France, late afternoon. this 18th century stagecoach stop, has all the great charm of days gone by. The reception area is welcoming and fresh with graceful ambiance. The hotel staff fluent in English is eager to serve. The rooms are immaculate and comfortable. My room offered asurprise as i unlocked the... More

The service at the hotel was excellent. The room was well appointed and quiet. But the standout was the restaurant. Food and service was excellent. If you're driving through the area this is a perfect spot to rest up and eat well for the evening.

We stayed in the annex -which is located a block or two away from the main building of the hotel (and even more in the centre of Mende). I had specifically asked for it as a mezzanine family room was advertised on their website. The room was beautiful, spacious and modern yet the character of the old building remained. The... More

I spent just one night during a business trip. The hotel is located at the centre of Mende in a nicely restaured old building. The room was very spacious and tastefully decorated. Free wifi was a plus. The highlight of the hotel is its restaurant, though. We had dinner and the set menu was excellent and great value for money!... More

The one low rating on this hotel deals exclusively with a single dinner, not the lodging. This is a grand facility located at the edge of the city center. It is an old building that has been lovingly upgraded with modern appliances without losing its ambience. The owner, Luke, as well as several of the staff, speak fluent English (as... More

It had a large bathroom. There is no lift; staff will help to carry bags. It has an upmarket restaurant serving fine food which appears to be as... More

4 of us travelled to Mende to watch the EWC final round and we were given the 2 basement rooms in the Annex. The hotel owner went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable, moving his own car on 3 occassions so that we could have off-street parking. When we enquired about Tea and Coffee facilities in the...

The Hotel de France was exceptional - exceptional rooms, exceptional service and such a great location in the beautifully maintained town of Mende. Off the main road but well worth it. we travelled from Annecy in the Alps to Mende and then down to Barcelona via the lovely Gorges du Tarn. Well worth the detour! Enjoyed a couple of days... More

We have travelled all over France and it is rare to come across a hotel with a restaurant as fine as this one. A delicious and beautifully presented three course meal for 31 euros. I note a previous reviewer paid 31 euro for a four course meal here in 2008 so the prices have hardly gone up since that time!... More
