Auberge de la Commanderie

Our was stinky, sweat stinky, maybe from the cleaning person, the people us?? Guy at the reception didn’t want to move us for bs reason. Rotofil at 8:25am from the garden. What looks tranquil is not.

Very clean and quiet and in the center of St. Emilion. Lovely wine shops and restaurants close by.

We stayed one night at Auberge de la Commanderie, and while the location is excellent—right in the heart of Saint-Émilion and close to everything—we found the overall experience to be underwhelming. The breakfast was a highlight: fresh, varied, and served in a clean, welcoming downstairs area. Staff were polite and responsive when approached. Unfortunately, the room itself was disappointing. It was very basic, with noticeable stains on the floors and walls, and the bed was quite uncomfortable. Each guest was provided with a single, flat pillow, which didn’t help with getting a good night's sleep. The biggest issue, however, was the smell in the room—it was quite unpleasant. When we mentioned it to staff, we were told that others had raised the same concern, and were advised to run the air conditioning to help with it. While we appreciated the honesty, it didn’t really solve the problem. Overall, the stay was just okay. Given the condition of the room, I’d rate it closer to 2 stars than the 3 it’s advertised as. With some updates and better maintenance, this could be a much better place to stay—especially given the prime location.

Yes but too expensive for what it is. We had a good stay at the hotel, and more important we slept well. we love the location in the town and parking nearby. We paid around

The hotel was recommended for us (2 couples) as a base for a 5 night visit to St Emilion. We are pleased to have followed their recommendation. The service is simple but effective and the breakfast fare is tasty and copious. Useful to have a lift to the 2nd floor.
