The hotel rooms were clean and tidy but the showers need new sealant as there were mould spots.
The outside area let it down massively. The pool area was a mess, broken tiles pool liner coming away, steps broken and paintwork peeling. The gardens were extremely messy, leaves everywhere covering chairs pathways poolside area. Grass needed cutting, just looked derelict. Shame because if this was tidied up it would be a really lovely, peaceful place to relax.

The rooms are nice (even the ones at the back in a boring rectangular box building). The food was very good and the staff were in general very polite. However the only let down was that there was no shower gel in the container, had to use the handwash soap dispenser by the sink for a shower. WiFi was good, TV selection limited to a few channels, check-in & out was pretty swift, general up-keep of the hotel was good. Parking was a small concern, it has a big carpark which sweeps down the side of the building but even then there was only 1 space which I gladly took.

If you get a room at the back of the hotel then be prepared for a hike as it is a long walk, especially after a 12 hour drive from the UK, carrying heavy luggage and working outside in the 36deg sun....

A very disappointing visit in a very shabby hotel. Room was at the far end of a very shabby building and through untidy corridors. Water cooler with no cups and coffee machines without coffee or cups. The room was clean but shabby. Flush on toilet hanging off the wall. QR code for hotel information not working. Restaurant has a very limited menu and many flies around it. My husband was ill the day after we stayed here. Can’t believe it has a 4 star rating. Staff were good.

Worn out property with minimum service

I was in this hotel with my partner to visit the palace in Fontainebleau. The location seemed appropriate although only if you have a car and GPS as can be difficult to find. Furniture in the rooms was obsolete and worn. It felt like the hotel has not been refreshed for decades.
We took breakfast included and they have a policy of DIY, they advertise it as something fun or quaint in poster across the hotel but there nothing romantic about frying your own eggs in sticky micro frying pants or making your own orange juice in a regular juice squeezer.
To end with my critique to the place, they took more than a week to release the security deposit made on my credit card. They only did it after I contacted them by email which they didn't bother to reply which I think it is impolite and bad customer service.

Nice Hotel - no elevator

The hotel was nice and had an onsite restaurant. It also had an outdoor pool and was about 10 minutes from Fountainebleau. The room was a good size. We had 3 people in a room and the sofa bed was comfortable. The staff was very nice and helpful. The hotel has 2 floors but doesn't have an elevator. The staff helped carry some of our luggage up the stairs. The parking lot was very convenient. The town of Ury doesn't have any restaurants so if you want to eat outside of the hotel, you will need to drive about 10 minutes to Fountainebleau. The hotel is close to the freeway, which is convenient for traveling to Paris.

Don't park under the trees

This hotel is a modern type hotel that specialises in conferences and is base outside the town.
It is 8 kilometres from the palace but is ideal for keeping out of the tourist area.
If you do stay do not park under any of the trees as your car will be covered by sticky sap which is hard to remove, there are plenty of car park spaces around the hotel so drop your luggage off and enjoy the short walk rather then park under the trees.
If you go to see the palace there is an underground car park in town but make sure you take your car park ticket with you to get back into the carpark as you will need it to swipe the lock on the entry door.

Good location for Chateau visit

Reasonable, quiet, safe, medium sized hotel about 5 miles from the center of town. Only real down side is the smell of \"dog\" around the entrance and perimeter of the building, but I guess that is the downside to a hotel that allows dogs and has no marked exercise areas (i.e. dogs go where they will and owners don't care). Pool needs a little more attention, but usable. The bikes that are available would be better if they had air in the tires (three adult bikes, one had no air in the front tire, another broken spokes), so don't rely on them for transport.

Failure in communication!

We made this booking ten months ahead to ensure that we would get the one disabled access room described in the hotel's profile. When we arrived we we offered a first floor room and the receptionist said that our requirements had not been passed on in the on line booking made with Expedia. He was, however, very sympathetic and quickly changed this to a ground floor room. However, he told us that the hotel has no rooms with shower only, so we felt that we were misled. Our son could not access the bath. The room was spacious enough, but the third bed very small and really only suitable for a child.

Hotel needs to do much better job cleaning rooms and keeping A/C units functioning properly. Carpets need a thorough shampoo in each room and in all hallways. Breakfast buffets is uninspired, and the better items are grazed over very fast with no replenishing. Bed linens are cheap and probably 100% polyester. Mattresses are hard and uncomfortable. Would not stay there again. Price/value ratio is not really that good. Euro 110 for that hotel room (breakfast is additional Euro 15 per person, kids are free)

Great family hotel.

We stayed 2 nights here before returning to the UK following a 2 week holiday. It's in a good location, just over an hour from Charles De Gaulle airport. You can get a train into Paris with unlimited travel from 14 euro for the day so it's also a great place to stay if you want to head for the city.

The rooms are pretty standard for this type of hotel, with a good level of in room facilities. I'm writing this using the free wifi which was easily accessible with a good download speed. We had a room for a family of 4 which had 2 pop up beds leaving little extra floor space but it's all you need for the time you spend in the room. Very clean and comfortable.

Breakfast was a good mix of continental and english.

The pool was a good size and, while outdoor, was heated.

Price was reasonable and hotel was well kept.

A really good find

After a twelve hour journey on a hot summer's day, it was a delight to arrive at this welcoming hotel. A friendly chat (in French and English) pointed us to our room and the swimming pool. A refreshing dip cooled us down and eased the aches of travel. Later, we relaxed over a very good a la carte meal in the restaurant, which had a choice of indoor and outdoor seating. Our room was comfortable, and had all the facilities we needed for our overnight stay, including well-functioning air conditioning. The only downside was that our neighbours had their television volume turned rather high!
The petit dejeuner in the bar area suited us well, though breakfast in the restaurant was also available.
We plan to return when next we need to break our journey in France.

Wonderful location near Paris

This is a well run Novotel, nothing to complain about. Its near Paris which is obviously THE big location plus. But having said that Paris is still a train ride or drive away so one has to consider other pluses. The rooms are bigger than the notoriously small rooms for the same price or more in Paris. Also you are next to a national park wonder, the vast Fontainebleau forest and only a few kilometres from the historic town of Fontainebleau itself. The hotel is on the outskirts of the sleepy but classy small village of Ury and a short drive away from an excellent ATAC supermarket. The location makes it ideal for corporate conferences and I use it for business trips.

A useful stopping off point on the way back from the South of France - or on the way for that matter. A good modern Hotel with good facilities. We made use of the free cycles and the surrounding forest preserve which extends all the way to Fountainbleu. The gym and the swimming pool are good also. What was not so good is their restaurant - OK for breakfast if included in your package - but the meals otherwise are overpriced and just very very poor. New Chef required methinks. Nip into Fountainbleu for food - its only ten minutes down the road. The restaurant was not cleaned properly either - cobwebs on the light fixtures, a lot of flies (where is the fly killer in the cooking area ?) and generally not looked after well. A simple thing to remedy for the management.

Very family friendly environment

The Novotel at Ury is only a 5-10 minute drive from Fontainebleau. It is set out in the countryside on the edge of the forest, has excellent gym, swimming and children's facilities. Children were delighted to find Xbox in lobby and toys, plus slides and space to run around outside. Our standard room was very cramped but did hold the double bed and two twins and because the poolside area was pleasant, we spent what little free time we had there.

Service was good, the food was reasonable and we felt we got much more value for our money than equivalent family rooms in hotels closer to the centre of Fontainebleau. The pool and gym facilities were especially good - new, clean and quiet. Breakfast service was a bit confusing, although again the quality of food was good.

If you have a car and are staying in the Fontainebleau area, this is an excellent choice - very reasonable room rates, and the extra facilities plus free wifi were a definite draw. We are definitely thinking of returning to the area as it is very pretty and has great walks in the forest to discover, and would certainly stay at the Novotel again.
