We stayed at Hotel de la Poste on our way to the Provence. It was just a one night stay over. The hotel has some nice characteristics and some history which is nice and gives an extra touch. But the 'historical aspects' should not have been kept until 2012 in the rooms. I would have liked it a bit more... More

The place is atmospheric, not overdone, a still functioning ancient coaching inn. What more could you want? Although our room was redone some years ago the standard was good, it was very clean, and the upstairs room large and quite elegant (ok, the carpet was a bit spotty). It would be luxurious for just a couple. Also very quiet (although... More

We stayed in a 2 floor family room, with very beautiful furnitures (Rococo style). The kids stayed in the room on the ground floor and the master bedroom was on first floor. Two drawbacks: the kids bed were a sleeping couch with a very thin madras (4 cm thick) and the nice and big bathroom on 1. floor didn't have... More

The Hostellerie de la Poste may as well have fallen through time and space into the 21st Century. It's amazing. Napoleon, Josephine Baker, JFK, Hemingway, Edward and Mrs Simpson have all graced this wonderful hotel, I would imagine it was hardly any different then than it is now... picture Van Gogh's yellow cafe and you're not far wrong Time stops...

Staff are nice but have limited English. Market day Saturday not a general food market (I call them junk markets )no vehicle access,... More

The rating of the hotel seemed promising, but the actual stay was very disappointing. When arriving, the hotel manager was chatting with one of her friends and kept us waiting for a couple of minutes. Finally, she called a friendly but inexperienced (it was her second day on the job) assistant, to help us out, resulting in the fact that... More

We broke our journey south in Avallon. This is a lovely historical town and the hotel matches the town. We ate in the dining room and it was excellent

We were having some trouble finding accommodation in Avallon when we found H de la Poste. The room seemed rather stylish in the way of a theatrical prop (looks good until a closer examination is done). After returning from dinner at a nearby restaurant, we discovered the heater couldn't be turned off. As it was quite warm, this required urgent... More

Had called the morning of our arrival to reserve a room with double bed. Was assured that one was available and reserved the room with credit card. Upon arrival that evening, was surprised by the dirty carpet leading to the room and the frayed carpet down the stairs. As it turned out, we were given a room in dire need... More

This hotel is a real charmer. You won't get a LCD TV here. But, so what?We booked a triple room and were pleasantly surprised to get a separate bedroom for our daughter. The rooms were spacious. The floors sloped quite a bit; which was a little disconcerting; but not really a problem. That's just what you get in a hotel... More
