    The view from our room faced the city and not the valley. Street parking was challenging, especially on market day; we ended up having to park a few blocks away from the hotel each day. Driving on the streets of Domme, even in a small car, was challenging.

    The location of the hotel was fantastic; the hotel is located right in the heart of Domme. The views from the porch were stunning.

    Check in process a bit slow-not enough staff. Rooms need a significant upgrade to justify the price-dated bathroom, wheezy inefficient air conditioning. No tea or coffee making facilities Not even able to have access to an iron or ironing board via reception

    Fabulous location-I think you pay for the view in the room rate. Food was excellent. Friendly staff

    IT was difficult ot find in a car, and the lady on reception didn't know the road names in the town. Still, we found it with not too much trouble..

    Fantastic location, perched on the escarpment overlooking the Dordogne valley. Short walk to the amenities of the town, including the Grotto. Well worth a visit!

    The only minor thing is that I would have liked an egg for breakfast. Their breakfast is typical French with bread, croissant, butter and jam, which is ok of course. So not really a complaint, just a personal preference.

    You couldn’t find a better location! The views from the terrace and restaurant are magnificent. It has a very romantic atmosphere! The interior restaurant was also very nice, though sadly the kitchen was closed on the day we were there, so couldn’t enjoy the beautiful surrounds in there. Staff was also wonderfully friendly and helpful. It felt very homely.

    Bathtub was narrow and unusable with no shower curtain. Breakfast was overpriced for coffee and croissants so, we didn't eat dinner at the restaurant. An electric kettles would've been appreciated but they're uncommon in France.

    Lovely location with the best view in the Dordogne, of the Dordogne. Sweet terrace overlook. Easy free street parking in April. Market on Thursday with 1E coffee. Very helpful staff. Room was a very good value.

    Our attic room was atmospheric but a bit dark - higher wattage bulbs would have helped enormously. The WiFi was spotty up there. This time of year bar service was difficult, as the family is stretched thin. But nothing spoiled our wonderful five days there, and we would (and will!) go back in a heartbeat.

    l'Esplanade commands the best view in Domme, with stunning vistas from the rooms, restaurant and terrace cafe tables. It is family owned and operated from the exemplary chef to the warm reception by his wife and daughter. The restaurant is not open every night this time of year, but is outstanding. Parking was surprisingly easy nearby, and the breakfast was simple but fresh. A village bistro offers excellent food as an alternative when the restaurant is closed, and outstanding chateaux, caves, and restaurants are nearby. A wonderful base for our five days.

    Dated small room felt like being in an attic with old tired furnishings. No nice indoor sitting area for the day. Expensive for what the room actually offered. No parking.

    Be warned that there is no lift - not a problem for us but important to know. One negative point: breakfast was good BUT no salty food at all. Even a small piece of cheese (not even mentioning charcuterie or eggs!) would have been appreciated - I bought mine from the supermarket.

    Great hotel in the superb village of Domme, magnificent view of the Dordogne, the photos do not lie! Nice terrasse to have meals. Comfortable bed, air conditioning. No parking, but easy to find (free) parking places in the streets around. We received good tips of very nice restaurants in the village, for days when the one of the hotel was closed.
