Great service, brothers that are part of family who have owned since late 1800s were pleasant, helpful and professional as was the staff. Lovely, historic 0roperty in a beautiful setting. Wonderful spa facilities (be sure to reserve ahead). Part of motivization for staying there was cuisine at the Chateau... would have been good to know dinner wouldn't be served on the Sunday evening nor on Monday (May Day).

Loved it so much we will visit again and again!
Fantastic stay. We let them know it was our honeymoon and they gave us a lovely alps themed present waiting for us in our room. Everyone we interacted with was personable. They know what customer service is!!! (Not always the case in France) great job. We also enjoyed the spa and it was lovely. We will absolutely be returning as regulars.

La Commanderie is a very pleasant and unique small hotel. The location is quiet about 20 minutes drive from Grenoble center. The decor seems authentic, the room, bed and pillows were very comfortable. The people are charming. There is a pleasant 15m outdoor pool, and on site parking is free. Breakfast was very good though at 17euros each it should be. While clearly aiming to be more upmarket there are surprising flashes of parsimony: it’s the only spa hotel I’ve been to where the guests are charged 10 euro per hour to use the spa; the room has a kettle but only paper cups, and no milk. There are no glasses in the room (plastic only) nor individual shampoo/conditioner in the bathroom. Small things but they just took the shine off an otherwise excellent stay.

A stay within the perimeter.
Historic hotel with beautiful gardens and okay pool. Very tranquil looking into the mountains in the background. Once you get outside of the perimeter, a good Italian restaurant but not much else. Room was spacious and comfortable, would stay again.

Pleasant hotel with proud family history
A pleasant hotel in a picturesque building with a proud family history, over many centuries. The room was spacious and comfortable but showed its age. The staff were friendly and helpful and the restaurant of a good standard, The food was perhaps over fussy for our taste and pricey. We found the location very handy for Grenoble, and the drive up to the mountain villages of the Chartreuse region was excellent and scenic. We also found a very good French/Italian chain restaurant in the commercial centre of Eybens called Ristorante Del Artes.

Dear Martyn ! Thank you for you review about our establishment. We try to do our best to make sure our guest gonna have the better stay they can imagine. Our restaurant is a Gastronomic one, and we want the best and the fresher products we can find, that's why maybe it is a bit expensive compair to other ;) We hope to see you next time you will come in Grenoble.

Super hotel, great location and facilities
We used this stay as a quick stopover on the return leg back to UK via car. We found it quite pleasant, staff were friendly and the room and setting was excellent. I would definitely return and stay longer to take advantage of the nice swimming pool, gym and sauna they have. The evening meal was slightly on the expensive side but it was quality and we both enjoyed. Breakfast was good with fresh ingredients. Staff were excellent and helpful. They even gave us a few large bags of ice for our cold box for the trip home. We would happily recommend this hotel.

Nice Property
Its on the edge of Grenoble with stunning views of the mountains and located in a small town. The property itself has the makings of a good conference or wedding site, and has an exceptional restaurant. From what I could tell, the rooms themselves are variable.... some are better than others... and I think that is just a function of the age of the property and the different buildings that are adjoined together to make the hotel work. On this trip business trip, I stayed in 6 or so different hotels, so by this stage, I was used to being greeted with a warm smile, and I was hoping for one of the better rooms... which didn't quite transpire! It was a dry, functional welcome, and I think we got one of the mediocre rooms .. it smelt a little musty, maybe for their overflow clients. But, as I was walking around, you could see into other rooms that looked absolutely stunning - with really great views.

Lovely hotel on the outskirts of Grenoble
This is a really beautiful setting and the buildings and gardens were immaculate. Well greeted by reception staff and everyone was very helpful. Unfortunately the restaurant was full - do pre-book if you want to eat there - but staff helped us find a good local alternative (nothing like as fancy but suited us fine). Rooms are a little simpler than the public areas but comfortable and with lovely views. Plenty of easy car parking which was welcome.

A hidden gem
Nestling in the suburbs of Grenoble, it was hard to believe we were surrounded by houses. Beautiful gardens and buildings provide a real feeling of elegance. The food was excellent and the furnishings very luxurious. Dinner was typically French and most enjoyable. Breakfast was amazing with everything from bacon and eggs to the usual continental style. The choice was vast though and probably one of the widest choices I've ever come across. It would be easy to criticise certain parts of the hotel that could be described as tired or in need of a little paint. I prefer to look at it as a real taste of France.

Uriage des Bains surrounding area
A lovely, old hotel in a lovely old area around Grenoble. The staff were very welcoming and inclusive to our 4 member non-french speaking staff. The meals we had were terrific, dinner was in the top 5 meals of our 3 week European stay. Lovely bathrooms. Bedroom looked a little worn, yet our sleep was terrific and the bed linens were very nice. The rooms were impeccably clean. We did not use the pool due to our short stay but I would not hesitate to do so. Nor would I hesitate to revisit them and bring friends and family.

Elegant , Affordable , Decadent
We were greeted very warmly but professionally . Sarah spoke perfect English, and was very helpful with a situation that arose outside of our stay with them. The room was large, airy, beautifully decorated, and included everything one might expect in a suite, but we were only charged what we paid for a regular double room in other areas of France. The on site dining room provided one of the most delightful dinners we had in our 15 days in France. What a treat to be able to enjoy a perfectly paired ( by their Sommelier) wine with dinner and not worry about driving back to the Hotel ... We had only to stroll across the well lit courtyard!!! The menu is outstanding, though a little pricey. If you stay there ... plan on this dinner being your special meal of your holiday with flavors I am still dreaming of. We were invited to use their Spa Facilities at no extra charge ( indoor and outdoor pool, workout room etc) but our time there was short and we were off the following day. A very short drive from Mulhouse ... I highly recommend this hotel /spa Quick Note to Proprietors : the pillows on the bed are in no way up to the standard of your impeccable hotel. This is one small detail that was overlooked ...

Nice hotel in beautiful grounds in suburbs
I stayed for 2 nights in August and found it very nice. The room was fine, not small, but nothing special (no kettle, for those who like to make a cup of tea). The grounds of the hotel however are stunning - the weather was good so I spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool and in the gardens. I didn't try breakfast, but did order room service one night and the food was excellent. The hotel is about 4 miles south of Grenoble in a pleasant little village - a few shops but that's it - i wanted to stay on that side as I was heading to the Alps, so it was perfect.

Massive disappointment
Picture on hotels.com website of room was grossly misleading - instead of a large, very attractive looking period room we got a decent but very ordinary hotel room. Described as a "Superior" room, it was nothing of the sort (indeed it was actually their "Charme" standard). Received the not atypical French response to a complaint: self righteous denial.

Great setting and very comfortable rooms
We only used the reception and the room so we aren't able to give accurate feedback on the rest of the hotel. The room was a great size and was extremely comfortable. Considering it was very cold outside (-5 degs C) the room kept its heat and the bed was great. I slept very well. The public rooms in the hotel looked very comfortable and rather grand but we didn't have a chance to use them.

My fifth time and really like the location. In lovely chateau with its own gardens acts as a nice oasis away from the biz world. Great facilities and fantastic views. Staff great and restaurant good - high French cuisine. Highly recommended
