We had been to Blaye several times and always imagined the Citadelle hotel to be somewhere worth staying. The setting is fantastic, within the walls of the Citadelle itself with commanding views of the Gironde. Well, that sums it up. The rooms are done in the style of the worst of the French chain hotels- you know, the ones clustered... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Citadelle and even got engaged there. The views from the hotel are beautiful and so is the Citadelle. We didn't really have to deal with the hotel staff at the time as we ate out each time but the rooms were clean and quite comfortable. As we liked the location, we decided to get... More

The Citadelle at Blaye had been our favourite hotel for 20 years. Until our last visit I would have said that the rooms were not brilliant, but the setting is fantastic, the service was excellent and the restaurant was superb. The food was the main reason we came back again and again over the years to the hotel. We visited... More

We have now stayed at the Citadelle twice . The staaff have been extremely helpful and friendly nd the food in bothe restaurants is excellent. The location is absolutely stunning looking over the Gironde and the entrance is extraordinary as you drive in through the Citadel. Overall a great hotel we will be back

This hotel had an amazing view from the room. Spent 3 nights and the view was amazing. Hotel itself can be updated nevertheless we had a blast. I would recommend you to book ahead before showing up and explore the area; it’s gorgeous.

This is a great little hotel that I have stayed in several times over the past number of years. However is is now showing some signs of age and need some refurbishment I stayed recently during very hot weather and having no air conditioning in the rooms made it very difficult to sleep. A little bit of investment could bring... More

We came across this amazing hotel by chance. The settings was beautiful, the hotel was very clean, the staff was very helpful and friendly. We ate in their restruant and the food was lovely. Everything about this small hotel with only 21 rooms was absolutely wonderful I will definately go back but this time I will stay longer than 1... More

This is a lovely place, an old citadel with a hotel inside its walls. The hotel and its outside terrace are right on the bank of the Gironde, so you have a wonderful view. Walking around the grounds around the hotel, there is a tiny and authentic village which makes you feel as if you're in the Middle Ages. For... More

The hotel is in the most fantastic location, the citadel is fantastic to wonder around, and I would highly recommend the guided tours; but the hotel itself was a massive disappointment. The smell in the corridors was horrendous, there were several airfresheners around to help and windows and doors were occasionaly open but made little difference during our three night... More
