Abbaye de Maizières

Unique hotel with medieval feel housed in a thousand-year-old beautiful building. Amazing service, clean rooms with great bathrooms, perfect AC and located in the heart of the beautiful, historic city of Beaune! A delightful stay and pleasure all around with the most personable breakfast service!

The hotel is historic and the lobby is spectacular. The location is two blocks off the main square, a very short walk, and very quiet. The staff is professional and accommodating. My only word of caution is that there is a very steep circular staircase to rooms.

This is the worst hotel I have stayed in. I hit my head on the wood beams above my bed. I was unable to get out of bed without pushing myself to the end of the bed and I still hit my head. We had to go up bizarre boat like stairs to even reach our bed. The bathroom was on the entrance floor. There were at least 80 uneven spiral stairs to get to our room. There was not an elevator. This hotel was booked in Expedia and there was NO suggestion or warning that this hotel may not be suitable for certain people. I do not know how the hotel is allowed to function as I felt that it would be difficult to leave in case of a fire. The front desk woman was rude and arrogant when I told her that I hit my head and that the stairs were difficult. I suffered headaches for three days after this horrid experience. The Abbey is creepy and smells of strong perfumes. The strong perfume is likely an attempt to cover up foul odours. Sleeping in a car would have been preferable to this place. I’m sure they have a few nice rooms but they also have terrible rooms.
