“Restaurant staff sub par”

Hotel Le Saint Paul

1 of 5 stars
Long Island, NY
Oct 4, 2008

Following is copy of letter I sent to Hotel:

This past Monday, my family and I had dinner at your restaurant.

Having eaten there in the past, we were looking forward to an enjoyable evening consisting of fine food and wonderful ambience.

The restaurant was as beautiful as ever and the food was more than satisfactory.

What ruined the evening for us were the Maitre’ D and the Sommelier.

The table of four next to us asked the Maitre’ D if the special entrée of the evening could be had as an appetizer. Reluctantly, he agreed.

We then asked for the same accommodation. He was very unpleasant about allowing us the same courtesy. He then became very perfunctory and went about his routine as if by route rather than trying to be pleasant.

The Sommelier, after he took the order for a bottle of wine and some sparkling water, never came back to the table after the initial pouring of the wine to refill the goblets. My wife ended up pouring the wine.

The servers, likewise, seemed not to be interested in making our meal an enjoyable experience. Rather, they appeared to “just be doing their job”.

We were able to observe the Maitre’ D and the Sommelier apparently enjoying some private joke or moment, but their smiles disappeared whenever they entered the lower dining room where we were seated next to the fountain. All diners in the lower dining room appeared to be foreigners from one country or another. I do not believe that there were any French citizens in the room, though many of the people dining spoke French, as does my wife and daughter.

This dinner for three, cost us nearly $600 US dollars, which by any standard, is a large amount of money

I wanted to bring this situation to your attention, so that others in the future will not have to encounter a similar problem.

For restaurant of Michelin recognition, this type of service is unacceptable

“Nice Hotel For a Honeymoon”

Hotel Le Saint Paul

Jun 22, 2008

We stayed here with friends for 3 nights. Yes, its very quaint and yes, the staff were nice but, because of not having any outdoor facilities (a terrace to sit and read would be nice), you actually feel rather like you're in a prison; although one which offers free Madeleines from 2pm onwards.
The Epicurian Dinner menu was good for a special occasion and the staff were very attentive; at these prices they should be.
The village of St Paul is inundated with coach loads of tourists from 10am onwards and this doesn't let-up until around 6pm so sharpen those elbows if you want to get to and from the hotel at a reasonable pace.
If you are hiring a car to get to the hotel, choose a smallish one as the people carrier we hired just managed to inch its way between the narrow ramparts to get to the hotels car park. The car park is about 200 yards away.
I would not recommend either the village or the hotel if you have mobility problems.

    • Disliked — No outside space. The feeling of being confined. The rooms are on the small side and dark. No view from the room except a stone wall.

“quaint hotel in a stunning setting”

Hotel Le Saint Paul

4 of 5 stars
wirral
Jun 3, 2008

The village of Saint Paul Du Vence must be one of the most beautifull in Europe and this hotel compliments the village perfectly. Small, quaint and beautiful, this hotel is a joy.

Our room was small and overlooked the winding village street .Decorated and presented in a manner that adds to the whole St Paul experience. The bathroom is spotlessly clean with bathrobes, white fluffy towels and a good selection of toiletries.

Each afternoon the Hotel provides complimentery afternoon tea with a selection of sweets and pastries prepared by the Hotel Chef.

The Michelin Star restaurant is very expensive but well worth the experience ( once ) more than one evening would cost a small fortune. The village has a good selection of small restaurants all to a high quality. The Hotel bar is very dissappointing unable to provide Gin and Tonic ( not good).

Driving to the Hotel is a nightmare, Parking at peak season would be almost impossible. However generally this is a perfect small hotel in the most beautifull setting.

Well worth a visit.

“Noisy and rude”

Hotel Le Saint Paul

Apr 23, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

Stayed here for 3 nights in April 2008. The restaurant is wonderful. The room was big and nicely decorated, but hot and stuffy because the hotel hadn't yet turned off the heat. We had to sleep with the window open (there was only one window). Because it is a walled city, the streets are very narrow and act as a megaphone- very very loud. Thank goodness the town shuts down at 9 PM or so. The noise inside the hotel, however never ended. All the surfaces are stone and there are precious few rugs or tapestries in the hotel. There was an incredible about of banging about- from the kitchen, wait staff and other hotel personnel. Really unnecessary. The staff is also quite unhelpful and rude. We will not return.
