Hôtel Golf Fontcaude

Reviews of the staff are contradictory. Many guests praise the employees for their kindness, helpfulness, and smiles, particularly highlighting the reception and housekeeping staff. At the same time, there are complaints about the rudeness of some employees, specifically mentioning a conflict with a manager named Karim. Situations involving air conditioning failures or noise are often resolved by offering a free breakfast or partial compensation, though not all guests are satisfied with this approach.

The hotel offers breakfasts that can be enjoyed on the terrace with a view of the sunrise. Opinions on the quality of the food are divided: some guests consider the breakfast very good and varied, while others describe it as "shameful," noting a lack of choice and a low standard compared to chain hotels. A takeaway breakfast bag option is also mentioned.

There are serious issues regarding dining at the hotel. Many guests report that the restaurant is effectively non-functional or closed, and this information is missing from the website. Some visitors were forced to order pizza for delivery or find dining options in town. In some cases, a club bar and restaurant are mentioned, but other guests characterize the dining as extremely unsatisfactory.

Wi-Fi is available at the hotel, and access details are provided upon check-in. However, there are complaints regarding the cost: one guest noted that the first 10 minutes are free, after which payment is required. Unstable internet connectivity for the in-room televisions is also mentioned.

Soundproofing in the hotel is poor: guests complain that any movement of people in the hallway can be heard. External noise is also a problem for many—due to renovation work, guests were woken up by hammering and the sound of trucks starting from 7-8 AM. Additionally, rooms facing the parking lot suffer from the noise of cars arriving early in the morning for the golf course.

The condition of the rooms is rated by most as dilapidated and outdated (90s style). Guests report worn-out furniture, peeling paint, rusty radiators, and frayed carpeting. Some note that the renovated apartments are very comfortable and new, but standard rooms often have malfunctions, such as broken toilet seats or non-working door locks on the terraces.

The hotel offers rooms with beautiful and scenic views of the golf courses. However, there are less favorable options, such as windows facing directly onto the hotel parking lot, which comes with the corresponding noise.

The cleanliness situation is inconsistent. Some guests are satisfied with the impeccable cleaning, while others find sand, hair, food remains (pistachios) under the bed, and even bedbugs in the rooms. Guests complain about mold, poor drainage, and general untidiness in the bathrooms. In public areas, dirty tables with insects and litter near the pool have been mentioned.

The climate control systems operate inconsistently. During the summer period, many guests experienced air conditioning failures, resulting in stifling heat in the rooms. In the winter period, it was reported that there was a total lack of heating on some nights or that it functioned incorrectly. There were also instances where the air conditioner only provided heating, which guests were not warned about in advance.

The rooms are basic, but essential items are often missing: many guests noticed the absence of a kettle, coffee machine, or even simple glasses in the bathroom. The apartments have a kitchenette, but guests have requested the addition of welcome dishwashing sets. Some rooms lack power outlets at the bedside.

The hotel has an elevator; however, some guests expressed doubts regarding its safety. It is also mentioned that during renovation periods, the path to the reception and elevator may be obstructed, sometimes requiring guests to walk around the building through mud.

The pool receives a lot of criticism: guests complain about the presence of algae, dirty water, and a general lack of maintenance, making swimming impossible. The fitness center is described by one guest as a warehouse with broken equipment, lacking mats and mirrors.

Yes, the hotel accepts guests with dogs, and this feature was noted as one of the main advantages of the establishment.

Yes, active construction and restoration work is underway at the hotel. This causes significant inconvenience: scaffolding installed directly in front of room windows, noise from tools starting early in the morning, and restricted access to certain parts of the building.
