Character (converted convent) hotel off cobbled medieval back street. Air con welcome. Small smart room but decor getting worn. Breakfast in attractive openair cloister. Away from traffic. Acess on foot only. more

A beautiful building right in the heart of Sarlat. Just a few seconds walk to all the restaurants. We had a great room with a fabulous view, and the room was very cleverly designed with plenty of storage and a good bathroom. The staff were really charming and we had breakfast every day in the old ambulatory or on the... more

We chose Hotel des Recollets despite the few negative reviews on this site (and because of the positive ones) because it sounded like a perfect hotel for our purposes. We stayed there 7 days (Sept. 27-Oct. 3, '07) and used the charming town of Sarlat-la-Caneda as our home base, making day trips around this fascinating region. Looking back now on... more

The photos on the hotel's website made the rooms look somewhat cramped and dark, and before we arrived in Sarlat, I wondered whether I should have reserved elsewhere. I needn't have been worried. The room itself (admittedly one of the more expensive ones) was light and airy, with two windows, one overlooking the cobblestone street below and the other looking... more

The Recollets is one of a very small remaining number of French hotels which appear to find guests a nuisance. We have travelled to France annually for nearly 30 years and this attitude, usually reserved for "foreigners", has almost dissappeared over that period. The Recollets has only been around for 5 or 6 years and it will probably not last... more

This is not a Bed & Breakfast and on their website they have the prices for each room, just for the room. I specifically asked on email for a room without breakfast but they quoted me with a price that included breakfast. We were desperate to get a room so we booked it. When I got there I asked if... more

I got the name from Let's Go-France and was extremely pleased. My room was fine in this medieval building, hidden away up a small hill (and easy walking to everything). I paid only 42 euros (June, '04), in this rather touristy city with expensive hotels. The staff were friendly and helpful, and, compared to many other 2 star hotels I've... more

I don't recommend that hotel! The owner was extremely unhelpful and arrogant. He totally ignored me when I arrived at the front desk in his very small lobby, leaving me standing for a while. Later, he refused to answer questions about sightseeing in the town. Also, this was the only hotel in my six-week stay in France that served dry,... more

This hotel isn't listed in the Trip Advisor hotel section but is a viable option in a terrific locale. Although some of the staff are somewhat stand-offish, this old place is clean, not too cramped, comfortable, good in-room bathrooms, can handle as many as 4 people in a room and includes breakfast. It is down in a well-lit walking area... more
