La Bergerac Boutique Hotel

What guests think

Reviews of La Bergerac Boutique Hotel describe a characterful, older property with lovely gardens and a walkable location, but ongoing maintenance issues, inconsistent cleanliness, basic breakfasts, variable Wi-Fi, and noticeable noise from nearby nightlife and traffic.

Feedback on service is mixed, ranging from very friendly and helpful to unresponsive or inflexible at times. Rooms vary in size and comfort, with some lacking air conditioning, creaky floors, hard mattresses, or limited in-room amenities. Secure, gated parking and a distinctive historic character are noted, so expect practicality over polish.

The hotel is nice, well kept, surrounded by plant life. The hotel, unfortunate for them, had very few guests. They have a nice dining room, but at this time do not serve dinner. The room I chose had a little patio attached to the room. There was very little traffic noise while sitting on the patio. The room was spotless, nice, and comfortable. The only issue was that because they are a small hotel the entrance is locked and the staff has to be handy to open the door. The same with parking, the small lot is gated and the staff needed to open it. This was kind of an issue, as my girlfriend got an emergency call and had to leave around midnight, and it took awhile for the attendant to wake up and come out to open the parking gate. There are several restaurant/bars within walking distance, and the San Pedro mall is about 3/4 mile away. We liked the hotel and will stay there again.

Rooms were only cleaned very superficially, if at all. Surfaces in the bathroom were obviously not wiped down from previous guest. The second room I had was overall nicer and acceptable from a cleanliness perspective. Ancient towels that urgently need replacing. The place itself is beautiful, too bad that there isn't more effort put into it. The staff are generally nice and I appreciated them feeding some local cats. Breakfast is extremely limited and was just about enough for me as a woman, all my male co-travellers left hungry.

The Hotel is in a nice location. The free parking is secure and the grounds of the hotel are very nice. The staff was friendly the first night and next morning the made to order breakfast was very nice. The second night the front desk person was not very helpful. We went out for a drink that night and got back at 11 PM. He was clearly annoyed that he had to let us back onto the property. He was also cold the next morning at breakfast. Although we had new sheets and towels, the bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned.

It was bad! It used to be a beautiful place years ago. Not anymore. Landscape is not taking care of. I got mosquito bites. There were spider webs in my room and I saw one🕸️on the shower towels. Service was poor. I tried to get another room and was told the hotel was full which I didn’t believe. It looked empty instead. Their policy won’t accept cancellations so you will loose your money. Staff was ok. Not so welcoming and accommodating. The bathroom smelled bad. Water didn’t drain well in the shower. The toilet had a brown stain. It looked gross and dirty. The wood floors made a creaking noise when you walk around the room. I stayed there for two nights and couldn’t wait to get out of there! Do not stayed at this place and save yourself a terrible experience!

Had a great experience. The room and bathroom were great, and I had a private enclave out the back door. Which was really great. I was able to walk to the museums and downtown stores easily from here. My only negative was that there was accumulated dust on one of the bedside tables, I didn’t mind it, but it would have bugged some people.

I stayed here for four nights & would sum up my stay as ‘barely adequate’. It is extremely loud, due to nearby bars, traffic, and flocks of noisy birds, making sleeping difficult. The mattress felt like sleeping on a sack of cement & the breakfast was basic. Finally, the staff was not friendly or particularly helpful. When I asked for an iron, the receptionist gave me one that was obviously broken. Stay elsewhere.

Esta estancia fue tan terrible que tomamos la decisión de no quedarnos en la segunda noche que habíamos reservado. 1. No se respetó el acuerdo tomado con hoteles.com con la opción "paga después" que había seleccionado para los tres cuartos reservados. Cuando llegamos al hotel, el cobro se había realizado en mi tarjeta para los tres cuartos, sin pedirnos la autorización previa o avisarnos. El hotel nos respondió de manera muy abrupta y desagradable que no era de su responsabilidad honrar los términos de hoteles.com. Hice un reclamo a la plataforma el jueves 2 de marzo, no he recibido respuesta hasta la fecha. 2. Los cuartos estaban en condiciones deplorables de suciedad y mal estado (ver fotos adjuntas). Mi colega reportó una plaga de hormigas en su cuarto. El recepcionista le respondió en un primer momento que no se podía hacer nada al respecto ya que "el cuarto había sido asignado en el sistema". Insistiendo, se le asignó otro cuarto. Cabe mencionar que el encargado el día después hizo uso del baño de mi compañera en su propio cuarto. 3. A pesar de nuestras quejas, el encargado se negó a ofrecernos una compensación o por lo menos presentar alguna disculpa.

Stayed at the hotel at the beginning and end of time in CR. Paid for breakfast twice and didn't get breakfast either time. First time it was because there was only two of us in the hotel so they decided to do breakfast 7-8 but didn't tell anyone. Second time I was told they couldn't cater for an early check out, not even a bread roll. The photos on the internet are much nicer than the place which is quite run down and bathrooms really need some work. Area is great to walk in to town for the day time though and has plenty of restaurants around it for the evening. WiFi is ok. Noise from closing gate and local train was annoying.
