Domaine de la Forêt d'Orient, Logis Hôtel, Restaurant, Spa et Golf

Much improved. Hotel has seen some updates that help the feel be less ‘chain hotel’. Good check in and check out. Large family rooms. Plenty of parking (free).

The Domaine de la Forêt d’Orient is our perfect half way stop over en route to the French Alps and Annecy. It is excellent value, comfortable and clean with great facilities including a pool. The food is always excellent. It is close to the beautiful old town of Troyes but far enough away to be very tranquil. Although not a golfer it has an excellent golf course. On the night we stayed the area was the hottest place in Europe but the internal air conditioning coped perfectly

Nice country location, secure parking and very pleasant surroundings. Bar and outside restaurant area was good. Room nicely laid out.

Parking good, Reception very helpful. Room was a good size, and bed was very comfortable. Good sized bathroom. Separate loo. Door between bedroom and other facilities was helpful in keeping sounds between the two areas to a minimum. Having a fridge in the room was useful. Food and service in the restaurant was good We enjoyed playing on the pool table!

A friend and I booked a family room which was split across two levels, with a large double bed upstairs and two single beds downstairs. We were very pleased with the value, much cheaper than buying two rooms at, say, a Premier Inn. The hotel was nicely decorated and clean, beds were comfortable and the bathrooms pleasant to use. Each level in our room had its own large flat-screen tv, the downstairs area also had chairs and a desk. When we checked in, we were informed that we had free use of the pool and the sauna. You don't get that at a Premier Inn! Unfortunately, we arrived too late to avail ourselves of that offer. Next time we will arrive earlier. The restaurant was absolutely exceptional. My friend and I both consider ourselves to be "foodies", we have eaten at many fine dining restaurants and the food here would not have been out of place in any of them. Simple recipes, cooked beautifully, with respect for the ingredients. The restaurant prices were excellent value. Make sure you try the langres cheeseI have eaten in places where the food was twice the price and half as good. My compliments to the chef! Breakfast was a buffet type-of-affair, but one with great quality and a fairly wide variety of foods to choose from. Really, very nice indeed. We didn't use the golf course, but my friend has plans to return with his golfing buddies, so happy was he with our experience at the hotel. This is the second time I have stayed at the here, it is located not far off the A5, in a perfect location to make a comfortable, overnight stop when driving from the UK to the South of France for a skiing trip.
