Straightforward hotel in a riverside abbey dating from 1705, with a serene garden & meeting space.
Slide 1 of 8
Stunning location in an incredible historic building in the centre of beautiful Pont A Mousson on the Moselle River but lots of free parking just over the road. Rooms are comfortable and practical but not sharing or reflecting the historic nature of the building. Enjoyed our stay. Didn't take breakfast (€15) because there are numerous fantastic patisseries in the town.
Lovely hotel directly connected to the Abbey and gardens. Hotel staff very nice. A huge thank you to the lovely lady receptionist that gave us a lift in her car to another hotel. We had to move due to being relocated because our vehicle had beoken down and the hotel was full. Would have stayed we could. Thank you.
Great hotel in a magnificent location. We stayed a few times already with our small dog. Very friendly staff and lovely courtyard.
The place is old. And degraded. Which is quite ironic. Because it is quite new. It seems that it was destroyed during the Second World War, and reconstructed later. But it is not nicely kept. The windows are dirty. There is a slight touch of medieval, with the monks living in the big house, and the caravans of the travellers installed outside, at a good distance. The people are nice, nothing to argue about it. But the rest is weird. The rooms are not that big. And not that cheap. In a coleague's room the handle of the toilet door was broken and I was left with the handle in my hand. And all levers that open the windows make a terrible noise because nobody cares to grease them and maintain the place. The room was a bit cold. And the fancy thermostat was ready to change temperatures at will and with zero effect. Later I have noticed there was a triangle with an exclamation mark on the display, probably wanting to tell me there is no point in playing with it. The fast less fancy thermostat in the shower room was not even powering up. The water was warm, thank you. The toilet was also strange. Both in my case and in the case of my friend, the toilet had only two rolls of paper. There is a 24h reception desk so I guess one could call for toilet paper, yet in the case of my friend's room the phone was dead, so one would have to dress up to get the toilet paper. Even more interesting, in both toilets the toilet paper was used up. I guess the hotel has a contract with the sole toilet paper factory that delivers partly used toilet paper rolls, or else I simply can't explain why in two toilets there was not a single new, unused roll. Also, be careful, as the place is quite large and it can mean a lot of walking, which if you have luggage can be unpleasant. The platform next to the elevator was very degraded. It looked older than the place. And very dirty. So I think you should take your luggage with you. Also, it seems that the strange and rather dirty elevator only goes from the double zero floor (funny numbering) through the zero floor, to the first floor. To reach the second floor one needs to take the large spiral staircase. I was lucky to travel light. In the room there is a small electric kettle to heat up the water. And some cheap tea / coffee, everything counted, just radiating petty and cheap. There is no safe in the room. There is no minibar in the room. Or anything to keep something cold. There is barely enough storage space for a person during an overnight stay, when the room is sold with two beds. The hotel parking is 10e/night, even if the printed paper in the room specifies it is 8e/night. I guess the paper is from another era as well. There is some parking right in front of the only entrance, but each evening it was full, so I had to seek out a parking spot in the nearby streets, and I felt so bad for taking the parking spots of those houses. So despite the nice people, the experience was bad. Not very bad. Just plain bad. And the whole experience left a bitter taste of exploitation. All those people who went hungry so the monks would have a big, impressive home to crush the spirit of those who visited their church. Than the place was bombed. Than more people had to give up their wealth so this ugly, souless place be built again, and left to degrade. If it wasn't for the depressing story of cold and poverty, I would have given two stars.
Beautiful. spacious well- appointed "room with a view" - surrounded by extensive gardens and what feels like ancient peace.
Very nice building. Stunning medieval architecture and partly well kept gardens. However, the hotel part where I stayed in is not really top. Rooms are clean but cheaply decorated and outdated. Above all very noise. Two very small single beds in a double room. Hallways are not very well illuminated on the way to the room, at least on second floor. The curtains do not darken the room very well. Woke up at 5 because of the daylight in the room with curtains fully closed. No air-conditioning in rooms. After request I was given a ventilator. Rooms not in line with the requested price and the prestige and atmosphere of the building. All in all a mixed experience.
Nice ambiance and good value. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
Exceptionally friendly and very qualified staff. Exceptional clerical building atmosphere. Rooms are spacious and very quiet (real walls!). Breakfast choice could be improved. But I highly recommend to stay there as it is probably the best choice in the town, and it is an unusual building in a remarkably outstanding setting. A lot of families stay there as well, but as the building is well built, also as single traveler you dont get disturbed.

Great little museum with expositions on the history of the town and its industries, most notably papier mâché. Wish there were interactive activities for kids!
A lot of reading. Nothing in English which made it difficult to appreciate the history!
(Translated by Google) The papier-mâché technique, brought to Pont-à-Mousson by the Adt family in 1872, consists of recycling paper, rags or straw to create molded, dried, hardened and decorated objects. The Adts, originally from Sarre, settled in Pont-à-Mousson after the defeat of 1871. The local museum "Au fil de Papier" presents exceptional pieces, including this pedestal table representing the Metz cathedral. However, it is regrettable that it does not pay sufficient tribute to Pierre Lallemand, its founder. (Original) La technique du papier mâché, apportée à Pont-à-Mousson par la famille Adt en 1872, consiste à recycler du papier, des chiffons ou de la paille pour créer des objets moulés, séchés, durcis et décorés. Les Adt, originaires de Sarre, se sont installés à Pont-à-Mousson après la défaite de 1871. Le musée local "Au fil de Papier" présente des pièces exceptionnelles, dont ce guéridon représentant la cathédrale de Metz. Cependant, il est regrettable qu'il ne rende pas un hommage suffisant à Pierre Lallemand, son fondateur.
(Translated by Google) A very big surprise on the history of mother-of-pearl and papier-mâché which at the time was already ahead of its time with the recycling of old paper, cardboard and straw to make works of art from a German family (ADT family) on the art of Asia. A small exhibition on the Pont à Mousson foundry, on images of the same principle as Epinal and on the history of the city over the centuries. How not to forget the story of Napoleon I's right arm, General Duroc. A warm welcome and more. (Original) Une très grande surprise sur l'histoire de la nacre et du papier mâché qui à l'époque était déjà en avance sur son temps avec le recyclage du vieux papier, du carton et de la paille pour en faire des œuvres d'art issus d'une famille allemande (famille ADT) sur l'art de l'Asie. Une petite exposition sur la fonderie de Pont à Mousson, sur les images du même principe qu'Epinal et sur l'histoire de la ville au fil des siècles. Comment ne pas oublier l'histoire du bras droit de Napoléon 1er le général Duroc. Un accueil chaleureux en plus.
(Translated by Google) Very nice interesting little local museum. 3 floors dedicated to the history of the city, the bridge.....some statues and reliquary. Portraits. But the most interesting and visually beautiful is the floor devoted to papier-mâché: truly superb and fascinating. Entrance is not very expensive. The staff is friendly. It's next to the tourist office (follow the arrow) (Original) Très joli intéressant petit musée local. 3 étages consacré à l'histoire de la ville, du pont.....quelques statues et reliquaire. Portraits. Mais le plus intéressant et le plus beau visuellement c'est l'étage consacré au papier mâché : vraiment superbe et passionnant. L'entrée n'est pas très chère. Le personnel est sympa. C'est à côté de l'office de tourisme (suivez la flèche)
(Translated by Google) I created a styling workshop for children aged 7 to 13 for the European Crafts Days at the Paper Museum, they were won over! To do again, as part of this museum that I discovered, to visit! (Original) J'ai réalisé Un atelier de stylisme pour enfant de 7 à 13 ans pour les Journées européennes des métiers d'art au musée du papier, ils ont été conquis ! À refaire, dans le cadre de ce musée que j'ai découvert, à visiter !
(Translated by Google) Very nice little museum. To visit if you are interested in this small town of character. (Original) Très beau petit musée. A visiter si l'on s'intéresse à cette petite cité de caractère.
(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful museum with very very beautiful collection pieces mainly relating to papier maché works relating to a Japanese period but also retracing the history piece by piece of historical figures who gave their name to remarkable places in the city (Original) C'est un très beau musée avec de très très belles pièces de collection concernant essentiellement les œuvre en papier maché portant sur une période japonisante mais aussi retraçant l'histoire morceau par morceau de personnages historiques ayant donné leur nom à des endroits remarquables de la ville

Fun & Games
Slide 1 of 8
Great overnight free camper stop, quiet, next to the Moselle
(Translated by Google) The swimming pool is very pleasant. The fun side is accessible outside of school hours. The weight room is clean. The equipment is complete for both bodybuilding and cardio. A space dedicated to relaxation: the sauna. To sustain you, the machines are well stocked. And for coffee lovers. The price of .40 makes people happy (Original) La piscine est très agréable. Le côté ludique est accessible hors heure scolaire. La salle de musculation est propre . L'équipement est complet tant pour la musculation que pour le cardio. Un espace dédié à la détente : le sauna. Pour vous sustenter les machines sont bien achalendées. Et pour les amoureux du café. Le prix de .40 fait des heureux
(Translated by Google) Nothing to say about the swimming pool itself, however the reception staff should seriously review the way they speak to customers. This Wednesday 03/19 at 3:30 p.m., the receptionist who was on duty took a very aggressive tone when I naturally showed her my identity document to demonstrate that I was a resident of the town. After several “what is that??! what is that!?? » with unparalleled aggressiveness, I understand that she refuses my identity card as proof of address. She then asks me for an invoice or a registration card, which of course I did not have with me, and ends up reprimanding me like a parent to their child: “you will know for next time! »I hope that she will recognize herself through this comment and that she will have the intelligence to question herself for the “next times”. (Original) Rien à dire sur la piscine en elle-même, en revanche le personnel de l’accueil devrait sérieusement revoir sa façon de parler aux clients. Ce mercredi 19/03 à 15h30, l’hôtesse d’accueil qui était en poste a pris un ton très agressif quand je lui ai naturellement montré ma pièce d’identité pour démontrer que j’étais résidente de la commune. Après plusieurs « c’est quoi ça??!c’est quoi ça !?? » d’une agressivité sans pareil, je comprends qu’elle refuse ma carte d’identité comme justificatif de domicile. Elle me réclame alors une facture ou une carte grise, que je n’avais bien sûr pas sur moi, et finit par me réprimander comme un parent à son enfant « vous le saurez pour la prochaine fois! »J’espère qu’elle se reconnaîtra à travers ce commentaire et qu’elle aura l’intelligence de se remettre en question pour les « prochaines fois ».
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful pools, a clean and well-supervised swimming pool. Very well supervised swimming lessons (Original) Des très beaux bassins, une piscine propre et bien surveillée. Des cours de natation très bien encadrés
(Translated by Google) Spacious pool, dynamic aqua gym classes. The water in the main pool is a little chilly for me. 😅 (Original) Piscine spacieuse, cours d'aquagym dynamiques. L'eau du grand bassin est un peu fraîche pour moi. 😅

(Translated by Google) This establishment should not be visited often, the 'Virago' of the standard doing everything so that it is not disturbed with practical considerations relating to visiting the place... Fortunately, Lorraine has no shortage of brasseries where the welcome is 'normal'!... (Original) Cet établissement ne doit pas être souvent visité, la 'Virago' du standard faisant tout pour qu'on ne la dérange pas avec des considérations pratiques se rapportant à la visites du lieu... Fort heureusement la Lorraine ne manque pas de brasseries ou, l'accueil est 'normal' !...
(Translated by Google) A great little brewery with lots of great beers. We thought it was great that it was 5 litres. Barrels are available and for a fair price. It's also worth taking a detour for this. We received great service and the conversation took place in three languages. We had a lot of fun visiting. Thank you for that. (Original) Eine tolle kleine Brauerei mit vielen tollen Biersorten. Sehr toll fanden wir das es 5 ltr. Fässchen gibt und das für einen fairen Preis. Es lohnt sich auch dafür ein Umweg zu fahren.

And what's more, the boss is very nice. You have to go there especially as they are not very far from the city center. For parking you can park directly in front of the store. Very good establishment. 🤩😃 (Original) C'est vraiment un endroit où il faut aller. Ils brassent eux même leurs bières et ne vendent que des produits locaux. J'ai goûté.

(Translated by Google) 1st time today Super friendly staff By calculating the price per liter we end up with good, inexpensive beer.

Really charming small town. Unexpected surprise during a long drive through le Grand Est.
(Translated by Google) Churches that are often closed are always a source of wonderful surprises. I found the doors open on my return and took advantage of the opportunity to visit. The interior is sumptuous, stained glass windows, chapels, choir... beautiful richness of ornaments. Despite an inevitable restoration, the visit to the building is interesting.
