Hotel de la Poste - Relais de Napoleon III

The hotel is reasonable. It can’t be anything more than this. Rooms (309/311) are on the 3rd floor with a river view. They are both sold as superior river view rooms. They do have river views but are not superior in any way if you’ve stayed in other hotels. There is no air conditioning ( the hotel is old and built from stone and wood - and heats up to the point where you cannot sleep) but a noisy electric fan is provided. There are no USB charging sockets in the room and the shower is basic with distinctly average shower gel / shampoo bottle attached to the wall. The floor is wooden and squeaks a lot and the decor is bland (although this is, of course, subjective). In our view it needs a desperate refurbishment of the bedrooms and bathrooms….some of the rooms have a refurbished bathroom if you’ve stayed ask. The hotel has an underground secure (ish) garage for cars and motorbikes accessed via a room key from outside and inside. There are additional charges for parking - approx €18-20 euros for a car and half that for motorbikes per night. Location wise it is good as it is in the centre of town right by the bridge and the food is good with friendly service staff. Nice bar and restaurant area for views and evening meals / breakfast. Breakfast is basic continental affair and they offer a half board with 3 course meal options…which we took and had carrot soup as an amuse bouche for the first 3 days! You can ask to go a la carte which offers a few other dishes. The middle aged lady on reception was reasonably unhelpful and couldn’t really be bothered to help - with any request greeted with a sigh like it was too much trouble - perhaps she should recognise she works in hospitality and perhaps try to help guests a bit harder? Apparently it’s a family run hotel and this is not my first time staying here. Overall it’s an ok place to stay if visiting Bouillon for a couple of days - but it also appears there is a new hotel being built almost next door due to open summer 2026 - I think we will look there in future! This is for the reasons outlined above - the rooms need an urgent upgrade to modern standards and the attitude of the front desk lady need to be more friendly and helpful. I’m paying a lot of money to stay here and felt like an unwanted guest.

Charming and comfortable hotel in great location The staff was great. Very accommodating. No AC in the room, but we found a fan in the closet which helped on this warm night. We didn’t have breakfast, but the dinner was excellent. The location is very convenient. Paid parking available in parking area.

A characterful hotel in an attractive and convenient location

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful town, highly recommended!

My wife and I spent two nights at the Hotel De La Poste. Our room was comfortable, light and airy and had a lovely view over the river to the castle and hills beyond. An electric fan helped keep it cool in the very how weather. The staff were polite and helpful. The hotel’s location is very convenient being right in the town centre. There was ample parking in the underground car park, which was very useful. There were no tea/coffee making facilities in our room. We did not try breakfast as the charge was some 20 Euros per person. Instead, we ate breakfast at the tea room across the square for a quarter of the price! The main negative point was the constant thud, thud, thud of the base from the music in the ground floor bar, which made it much too noisy to have the windows open.

Excellent breakfast, good service.
