If you wonder why it is called Hotel Napoleon, do not think it is because of Fontainebleau. It is simply that the rooms are tiny and the so called double beds are single beds. Just like the diminutive French tyrant. Corridors are filthy, rooms smelly. Do not get trapped by the lobby. Everything is simply appalling.

Stayed for 3 nights. The en suite room was clean, warm, and well-equiped although the bath was to short for me (6'2"). Breakfasts excellent. Didn't have an evening meal so can't comment. The staff were unfailingly friendly and obliging - my party had to be up at 5 one morning to attend a sporting event and the manager made sure... More

Stayed for 6 nights, so time enough to get to know The Napoleon. I think I was probably a bit unlucky. The room was very small, and lighting poor so always felt a bit dark and dingey. The heating was a bit all or nothing, and the only remedy for a very hot room was to fling the windows open!... More

Perfectly placed. Underground parking at 10 EURO 24HRS... Driving back from Chamonix in a continual blizzard...found the p[lace by accident. The hotel is rather worn...but clean and warm...food is good..staff friendly...will stop here again as it is much nicer than Paris.

Great and convenient location in Fontainebleau - 3 mins from the Chateau, 10 mins from INSEAD. The reception is bright and modern. Was here with extended family - grandma down to grandkids - so had 3 rooms for the family. Dated rooms but clean and neat. One concern was the layout very loopy corridors and lifts don't get to floors... More

The hotel has a nice front, a nice lobby and a reasonable restaurant and bar. However, for some 160 euros or even mores the rooms are a letdown. All the items you would need are there in some fashion, but it does not really add up. There is a coffee maker. Spare wall plugs are hard to find, however, making... More

We were there just 1 night, but would stay longer if possible. Nice room looking into the courtyard, so no noise of the city. Clean room, good bathroom, a little bit old, but nice. Breakfast was very good and parking (10 euro instead of 15 euro) was across the road.

The Napoleon is located right next to the chateau with underground parking available across the road (€10/day). Staff was very friendly and helpful and we had a good night's sleep. Rooms are decent size, clean and quiet, but the building could do with some extra TLC. Bathroom joints were cracking, several tiles had broken off and on several doors paint... More

The hotel is close to the chateau and the breakfast is very good. The room was small but adequate and clean. I also needed tech help for my cell phone and had the assistance of several of the front desk staff. Their English was quite good and they helped me get connected. We chose Fontainebleau to avoid Paris and it... More
