    Although everything seems at four star levels, a number of furnishings and fixtures in the room and bathroom are showing signs of age and or lack of maintenance funding. The restaurant definitely remains highest quality. I must mention that in spite of the very informative welcome notebook's instructions about placing international calls from the room phone, when put to the test the front desk insisted that it was not possible to place outside calls from the room telephone. This was a significant issue inasmuch as mobile phone coverage inside thick fortress walls was problematical. I must also add that in spite of prepaying my bill through bookings.com, the front desk insisted that I pay the room charge again, assuring me that I will be reimbursed for my initial payment from bookings.com. They were adamant about this irritating anomaly.

    This was my third stay at this property, over two decades. It warrants its four star rating, with bonus points for its very unique locale in a distinguished fortification in a distinguished city. Rooms are quiet as a fort. The restaurant where I had several dinners, including Christmas, deserves recognition.

    Breakfast was not great. Better get a croissant from the town (5 minutes) and make coffee/tea in your room.

    Atmospheric stay in a historic venue. Rooms and public areas of the hotel sensitively balanced the original features with modern comfort. Very helpful staff. Short walk to restaurants etc in town. Take advantage of the discount on tickets to visit to the interesting chateau-fort.

    I was quite disappointed about the restaurant. Very expensive for what I consider basic and tasteless food. Nice to accommodate a vegetarian and a ‘only fish not meat request’, but besides this main dishes being badly improvised the entrances and desserts from the ‘normal menu’ were also quite disappointing. The stuff however was very friendly!

    The rooms were big and the bed very confortable. The building is impressive. The stuff was very friendly.

    The breakfest and hotel´s restaurant were clearly overpriced for the quality we had. The rooms are not sound-proof. Some noice comes from the stone yard close to access.

    Good location and free parking so close to entrance.

    There were tea and coffee making facilities in the room but we were provided with small paper cups, not great for a hot drink and definitely out of keeping with the standard of the hotel.

    Stunning setting right inside the castle courtyard, it is a special place to stay. Small discount on entry to the castle which is well worth looking round but no good for anyone with limited mobility. Very good breakfast.

    Our room was large and comfortable but felt it lacked a few soft touches. We were on the top floor which was fine and reached to floor 6 by lift but then we had to go through a totally unmarked door to climb up stairs to our floor. It needed a bit of signage!!

    A unique setting- huge and wonderfully renovated and converted. A friendly and helpful welcome. A nice meal in a large , stylish restaurant. Easy secure parking. A very comfortable bed.

    Of course we knew in advance that we were visiting a former fort, but still it looked like a gloomy medieval fortress and we were a bit disappointed at first sight.

    We liked our room, esp. the painting above our bed, the bed was excellent. Unfortunately we cannot judge the restaurant, since we were in town (there was a fair that evening), but the breakfast next morning was really satisfying.,

    Small room, but we did book the cheaper room, no aircon, internet very poor, its is 2023 isn't it?....we didnt have any breakfast as it was €14 extra each, we looked into the restaurant and the breakfast wasn't 'help yourself' so we thought it would be small and expensive so gave it a miss, same as the evening meal.

    Location, 2 mins walk from centre of Sedan, good parking inside the fort, but only from 6pm to 10am, staying in a fort experience

    The restaurant was of very high quality but unfortunately the menu did not cater well for those who prefer a non-meat diet or have allergies too seafood!

    The Chateau Le Fort Sedan is a very interesting place we would like to make another visit.

    Tea and coffee facilities in the room were poor and did not match the quality of the rest of the hotel. You can only park inside the fort between 1800-1000 or risk a fine from the police, this wasn't mentioned on the website though you can park in the public carpark which was full when we got there on a Sunday PM

    Worth staying just for the location which is very impressive. Rooms were clean with good quality finishings. Staff were very helpful and we thought the. evening meal though not cheap warranted the price and was of a very high standard with excellent service

    The family room is really very basic for a 4 star hotel. It would benefit from some more furnishing and finishing touches. Paper cups and very basic sachets for coffee making.
