Lovely hotel, but hard to find
This place really needs to put up a sign that arriving guests can see. We had trouble finding the place even though our GPS had told us we had arrived. During the one day that we were there, two other couples approached us, asking us where the hotel was. One of them was driving up and down the street and the other actually knock on the door of our cottage, not realizing that they were actually already at the hotel. It turns out that there is actually a small sign on the side of the building, but it is partially obscured by vegetation. The cottage we were staying in was spacious and lovely, as were the grounds around the hotel. The room was rather hot and the small, portable air conditioner had trouble cooling it down. To find the hotel, I would suggest driving halfway up the road from the main street and look for two black doors on your right. One of the doors is large like a barn door while the other is small. There is a small parking area across the street. You enter the Hôtel courtyard through the small black door.

This is a wonderful location for visiting Monet’s Garden. It is a 15 or less minute easy walk to the garden, so an early morning or late afternoon garden visits, avoiding the crowds, are easily accomplished without driving. The facility itself is charming and the owners very supportive during our 3 day stay. It was e actually what we needed/wanted for our visit to Giverny.

Jess, seattle

Because they have a 7 PM check in time and do not answer their phone if you want to let them know you are going to be late you cannot risk booking this hotel. I pointed out that they did not answer their phone on the night of my reservation and therefore should not charge me yet they charged the full amount. Do not book this hotel. Expedia should de-list this venue as they treat their customers very badly. I had to book another hotel for the night because I could not risk driving to Giverny and then not being able to check in. At least they should answer their phone so customers can let them know they will be late. Do not book this place unless you know you will be able to check in between 5-7 pm. And even then, how will you know they will be there since they don't answer their phone?

Pretty casual check in after we contacted them about a late arrival. Spent 30 minutes finding someone who could get us into our room Facility was as advertised but they need to decide whether they are in the hotel business or the customer service business because they think they are in the unique facility business. Over priced for value received, but I don’t think they care!

Great place to stay on trip to Money’s gardens.
We stayed in the house on the property. It was perfect for the 5 of us. The place was beautiful. Just like in the picture. A short walk to Monet’s gardens. The house had a kitchen too.

Beautiful area
This is an extremely old chateau. You can hear noise from the other room and the staircase. The room we had was very minimalist. There is a private bathroom, but only a tub. No shower. The check in from 5p-7p is literal. There was no one to be found any earlier. We sat on the lawn furniture on the beautiful grounds while we waited. Short walking distance up the hill to all the local attractions and village.

Nice hotel with interesting restoration. Very friendly owners and nice breakfast ( extra cost). Our room would have been better if the WC was not downstairs from the loft bedroom. Glad we stayed in Giverny with time to see Impressionist Museum as well as Monet house and garden.

Room was OK, but this is a VERY simple place ... not luxurious as portrayed on the website. It is just a hard-to-find house in a residential area ... a B&B not a hotel. BIG problem was that both the sink and the shower did not drain at all, so we were unable to use them. We told the owner and gave her only half of the rate for our overnight stay. She was nice about it at first but then followed us to our car and told us we did not know how to “manage” the bathroom and it was our fault. Then she threatened us on Expedia and said she would report us as “no shows” to collect another €150. It was one of the worst experiences I have had in a lifetime of world travel!!! These people are just ripping off people because it is Giverny ...

Lovely B&B down the lane from Monet's Garden
La Dime is a lovely B&B within a 5 minute walk to Monet's Garden. The owner explained that the B&B is in what was once where monks lived and the communal area is what was once a tithe barn. It's a lovely space and the rooms were very comfortable. Breakfast was served in the former barn and included croissants, baguettes, fruit, coffee, tea, yogurt, etc. It was very peaceful and pleasant and a pleasant spot from with to visit Monet's garden and the Impressionism Museum.

Great overnight in Giverny, best way to Monet
Owner gave us great tips on when and how to visit Monet's Garden, so very helpful. Breakfast was fabulous and bountiful. This is part medieval, part 17th century farm house and barn conversion. Very atmospheric and rustic as opposed to cookie-cutter chain. Loved the vibe. Room was fine, plenty of space, and open timber decor. Easy walk to Monet's Garden. Large property to relax in their backyard. Lots of parking. Town is very small, but the few choices of lunch and dinner restaurants were fine. This is a relaxing scene, especially after the Paris tour buses depart in late afternoon. Hiking nearby.

Not so close to Monet; Uncaring Host
Giverny is a temple to the genius of Impressionist painter, Claude Monet. His gardens are world-famous so there are a LOT of visitors. We sought a local B&B to avoid long lines & distant parking lots BUT found this place was half a mile from the gardens site (we were told 300 meters but that omitted the hill and it's further!). The public parking lot was MUCH closer!! It was a HOT day and as our room (average comfort; nice bath) was directly on the small street, so we couldn't leave the window open, we requested a fan. The owner-proprietor promised us one at 8 PM and then we waited until 11 PM and he never delivered it - apparently he went out drinking instead. So we went to bed. Apparently he put it outside our door after 11 PM - that is unacceptable. We had a bad night and his wife apologized the next day but that didn't change things for us. We will not stay there again if we ever return to Giverny.

Not ideal for those with mobility problems as bedroom is above bathroom and stairs are steep, narrow and potentially dangerous. Details on Expedia are incorrect - there is no cafe on site. Not good value for the money.

Beautiful Modern Design in a Farmhouse setting!
What a beautiful setting and gorgeous design + attention to detail! We arrived just before sunset and immediately went to the garden for a glass of wine. The setting is completely secluded and serene - just steps away from Jardins de Monet. The town is so quaint and we couldn't have picked a better place to stay! Wonderful breakfast with croissants, baguette, fromage, hard boiled eggs, etc.. The renovated home is just beautiful with its modern/ rustic decor. Perfect romantic setting!! Notes (not necessarily cons): No TV in our room (but you won't need one with such a gorgeous surrounding - just something to know if you're staying a while), shower water pressure wasn't great, no AC (but expected in France).

Room was actually quite dangerous to sleep in...A large step up to get to bathroom and no light to use during the night to see the step. Had to carry bags up steep flight of stairs to room with no help from hotel. No staff just a husband and wife who were caring for the children more than us. Exterior of place is charming, interior isn't. We were happy to leave after one night.
