This is a former abbey partially converted to a hotel . There is an awesome cathedral on the property and the most unique musical carousel that allows you to play instruments as it turns. We had rooms with showers although there are also less expensive rooms with showers down the hall. The main commercial street with restaurants etc is a 10 minute walk. Free parking; no TVs. Extremely restful and charming.

Totally unique experience, but not in a heatwave
This is a property unlike any I have ever stayed in before. The abbey is almost 1000 years old and is filled with music. Musicians are hosted there and practice all day long amidst a calm and shady courtyard. An amazing restaurant sits just outside the abbey doors. This would be absolutely divine in the autumn or spring. It was not divine during a summer heatwave. The day we arrived, the temperature in Saintes passed 40 degrees C (104 F). The abbey does not have AC (understandable) and did not provide fans (less understandable). We had the one room with a private bath, but this was humid and the shower stall was very small--which made it difficult for tall people to use. It was also still above 30C when we tried to sleep for the night. We could not leave the window open very widely because of mosquitos. So we did not sleep well. The staff was lovely, though the nature of the property means that the reception is staffed for only a few hours a day. The breakfast was also good and filling. Overall, this is a wonderful property for Classical Music lovers during certain times of the year. I would avoid it during the summer, unless the staff is able to provide strong fans or some other cooling for rooms.

Tranquil stopover.
We stayed one night. The abbey was beautiful and very peaceful. Amazing to stay in such an old building with great features such as vaulted ceilings. Our room was simple but had all our needs. Was a bonus to have private bathroom but there were plenty of bathrooms it seemed. We booked full breakfast but you could choose to have just coffee and croissant and pay less if desired. Amazing

A special place for our family. Our daughter was baptized at the Abbey 12 years ago. The sleeping rooms were a lovely surprise, with robes and a few other amenities. This was my first time with shared bathrooms but there were many available. Hotel is in walking distance to restaurants, shops. About 5 minute walk to Saintes train station. Will happily stay here again.

Peaceful Retreat
Staying in an Abbey was a lovely and unusual experience. The building had a calmness about it. The room was simple and comfortable, and clean. The reception team were welcoming, and on site parking plentiful. The town of Saintes is right on the doorstep, and a pleasant place to spend an evening.

A unique experience
If you've ever stayed in an F1 hotel in France you'll know that the rooms are just big enough for an overnight stay and the showers and toilets are somewhere down the corridor and shared by all. Well, imagine the same thing but instead of brightly coloured plastic the whole place is made of solid stone block.Such is the case here. It is , of course, a converted Nunnery (hence the name) so the rooms aren't that big, but what it lacks in facilities it makes up for in charm and quirkiness. There is a music school upstairs, so in the corridors you can hear the practising of violins or flutes, or whatever they are using that day - it' quite pleasant really - but the walls and doors are so thick that you don't hear anything once inside. I wouldn't mind staying there again. it make a change from lots of identical, characterless hotels rooms.

Une expérience
Juste une nuit mais une nuit dans un lieu unique par son environnement et son histoire. La rénovation et le réemploi de l'abbaye aux dames sont bien réalisés. 2 bémols : le long couloir voûté très élégant est bruyant (surtout les valises à roulettes) et les sdb à l'extérieur des chambres (même si c'est lié justement à l'histoire et la topographie du bâtiment) sont une petite gène surtout pour un séjour de quelques nuits.

Es war interessant und angenehm im einem Ehemaligen Kloster zu wohnen. Es gab ausreichend Gemeinschaftstoiletten und Dusche, die sauber waren . Lustig ist, dass es ein Museumsbetrieb ist , indem die Schlafräume sind. Parkplatz wird umsonst gestellt

Un humble conseil à l’organisateur immobilier.
Nous comprenons le parti pris par l’opérateur de la maîtrise d’ouvrage : conserver l’esprit communautaire des religieuses en laissant les cellules~chambres sans sanitaire individuel ni conditionnement. Nous pensons qu’il s’agit d’une vision un peu trop idéologique qui ne favorisera pas la réussite d’une prestation hôtelière souhaitée par les clients de façon globale. C’est amusant, certes, pour une frange de la clientèle sans doute. Mais cela ne fait pas une qualité hôtelière, si c’est quand même l’objectif partiel recherché, nous semble-t-il. Voyez un autre exemple de réussite hôtelière en reconversion de bâtiments historiques ou publics : Parador en Espagne . C’est une réussi te certaine. Le promoteur aurait mieux fait d’utiliser une cellule sur trois pour y faire deux salles de bains reliées aux cellules latérales. C’est un architecte qui vous écrit . Le projet actuel n’est pas abouti et c’est dommage . Nous donnons cet avis indépendamment de la question culturelle des festivités musicales, qui elle, est bien travaillée avec panache. En conclusion, il conviendrait que la maîtrise d’ouvrage ( mairie ? ) poursuive son effort dans le sens que nous indiquons, surtout lorsque nous avons pu constater le bel effort de traitement architectural des espaces communs. Autre point à travailler : insérer un ascenseur , c’est primordial . Si l’on veut faire de l’hôtellerie, il la faut de qualité avec des normes de confort, c’est une règle absolue.
