LE PETIT GIVERNY

While the atmosphere is very nice and not so busy, the food is average. If you do not expect mouth watering food, this is a good choice in Giverny with friendly staff

This place was hard to find, because the signage Le Petit Giverny seemed to be obstructed by overhanging tree foliage. They need to attend to this! It seems that the hotel/restaurant is now under new management and is currently somewhat run down, and in need of a lot of TLC. There was on site parking, although it wasn 't particularly secure, at the back of the hotel/restaurant, and this area was very unkempt and in need of refurbishment. Still there was parking, which was appreciated. When we realised that we were at the right place, we entered the restaurant area and had a very sullen and uninterested welcome (if you can call it that! by a young man in the restaurant area (and we had to find him! who pointed to the staircase, at the top of which was our room. No offer of help with our luggage, no lift, nothing. We nearly ate in the restaurant but decided to go with our original choice of a restaurant in the village. There were also very few people in the restaurant when we returned from that meal. We can 't comment on the food because we didn 't eat there. We advised the surly young man that we had to make an early start the following morning, so we paid him later in the afternoon by credit card. Imagine our embarrassment and shock when we received a phone call the following morning (while driving to our next destination from the manager (Benjamin to say that we had left without paying. We quickly put him straight, that we had paid the surly young man the previous afternoon/early evening by credit card, and he accepted that. But it was very embarrassing and we weren 't impressed! Our room was on the small side, and quite sparsely furnished, but it was adequate, although there were not enough power points for us to use. There was a bit of room to swing a cat, but not much more than that. Two bottles of mineral water were provided, but provision of soap and shower gel in the bathroom was poor. But the shower/bathroom (no bath, just a shower cubicle and sink was excellent. for what we got though, it was expensive, we paid 116.50 euros (which didn 't include breakfast we felt it was overpriced by at least 40 euros. There was music downstairs in the restaurant and we were concerned that it would be disturbing us at night, but that concern was unfounded. We are glad we didn 't eat there. We asked where we should leave our room key when we made our early departure, and were requested to leave it on the fridge lid in the outside dining area which we didn 't think was that secure, but we did what we were asked and it 's their problem. oh, and the lock to our room (the LH side one on the landing was pretty difficult to use too. This place needs a lot of attention and some staff training too!

The service was ok, but the food was disgusting. I can’t believe they have a chef in the kitchen. I had a tarte with tuna and chorizo which was probably prepared a day or 2 ago and heated in a microwave. Socking wet and full of grease on my plate. After one bite I had enough. Childrens menu was chips without any sauce with a burned chickenskewer, again without sauce. The oysters weren’t cold. This place is a joke, Sorry for the hard working waitresses.

Limited menu with a few good choices , well prepared by the son of a family which has always been in the restaurant business for decades . A place where you can also meet a lot of neighbours and chat with them . Garden is super but in october , we were inside because of weather conditions . Not too many places inside but cosy atmosphere. Sorry it is closes from 1st november to next april22.

I booked this hotel on booking.com and told them i would be arriving between 10-11pm. That was all fine and agreed on. A couple of days later, i arrive and booking.com call me to say that hotel has actually cancelled our booking and the hotel now wont give us our money back. They stole our money! I checked my emails, the instructions and notes we got and also the reviews of this hotel, just in case it was us making the mistake but it turns out they have done this to several other people too! Surprised they haven’t been caught out yet. Dont make the same mistake and let them screw you over too! Avoid this hotel!
