Restaurant l'Hostellerie des Ducs

Charming small hotel with an excellent restaurant

We received a very warm welcome from the entire Blanchet family, who work at the Hostellerie des Ducs, and are very attentive to the well-being of their guests. The hostel is in a pleasant, well-maintained setting, with an extraordinary selection of bed linen, a quiet location, and a magnificent wooded garden. Breakfast on the terrace was a pleasure! A sunny pool adds character to the grounds, not to mention the jacuzzi. A special mention goes to the chef and his assistants. The menus and à la carte menus are of high quality. From starters to desserts, everything is homemade. We recommend this establishment and thank you all for the wonderful weekend spent with you. (We also welcome the free, secure parking.) THANK YOU.

Very pleasant location, beautiful, tastefully maintained residence. Excellent breakfast and dinner on the terrace overlooking the garden and pool.

Staff were very welcoming. The hotel is a bit dated compared to similarly priced hotels.

Thank you for your exceptional welcome, for all your sightseeing tips and discussions. You are wonderful. I appreciated the hotel's location (near the Château), the well-served breakfast, and the quality of your restaurant. The room was very comfortable and quiet.

Beautiful place full of history with a welcome worthy of the quality of the service. Impeccable room with comfortable bedding. I really like the sheets and the bathrobe in the bathroom. A pretty wooded and flowery park for breakfast on the terrace, I was delighted and I highly recommend it.

To be consumed without moderation

Wonderful food, very good value.

Room a bit cramped, difficult for two people to turn around. Narrow bed.

Lovely place for an overnight stay. Top-notch restaurant!

Good room. Really good airco. Lovely dinner

Friendly welcome from the owners, good location, and pleasant setting. The room could use some updating, as could the bathroom. The bedding wasn't very comfortable. The breakfast was very good and unbeatably priced.

Very professional Very good table

Excellent welcome. Very pleasant and helpful staff. Very good food, with a real cheese trolley, which is becoming rather rare. Thank you.

Very pleasant setting. Very nice hotel.

Perfect service, from the reception to the restaurant. Clean and quiet room. Excellent restaurant.

to return with pleasure

Internal parking for cars must be reserved in advance because the number of spaces is limited, but street parking is possible without a parking meter. An EV charging station is available, with a type 2 socket (11 kW, probably) or a domestic one (2 kW in fact). The staff present that evening were very professional and impeccable. Quick check-in and room allocation in accordance with the reservation. The room was tastefully refurbished in the attic, so it was quiet under the roof of the house and had a beautiful view of the historic castle of Duras. The room was functional, with a large flat screen TV facing the bed, a nice corner jacuzzi that can be used by two people at a time, a desk with a kettle and coffee, an electric shutter, and a bathroom with a large shower and two sinks facing a large mirror. Comfortable bedding, no audible noise. A restaurant that needs no introduction, as the quality of the dishes offered is well-known, and rightly so. A must-visit address for an evening stopover or a weekend stroll in the area.

We are a little far from the standards that we can expect at this price level.

Great reception. Nice people. Good beds. Delicious food.

Exceptional

A big thank you for the welcome, the pleasant, attentive and very professional staff. Thank you to the chef for the delicate and tasty dishes, worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant. An establishment that I recommend, without forgetting a sunny swimming pool and its jacuzzi, bravo and congratulations to all the staff. I had an excellent stay. Thank you 🙏🏼

The Hostellerie des Ducs is a high-quality establishment, where the welcome, comfort, and cuisine are truly meticulously prepared. My stay wasn't my first and won't be my last. In addition to the quality and variety of the food, the prices are also very reasonable. An establishment where you feel good and where you can enjoy generous and refined cuisine, with refined pairings.

Excellent hotel and restaurant. Friendly staff. Good location. Secure parking.

Beautiful village, beautiful hotel, perfect welcome, perfect room, perfect dinner and breakfast. Value for money like I haven't had in a long time! Thank you!

It's a shame that the acoustics between the rooms are very poor.

Excellent location, very welcoming staff, very clean room. Good value for money, I recommend it.

Poor WIFI connection in the room !

Very warm welcome. Comfortable rooms and breakfast served with homemade and authentic products. After several stays, the quality is always there.

Always a pleasure for an evening stopover

A friendly and convivial welcome with the restaurant open on a Monday evening, which is very appreciable and rare. Certainly, only one menu, but excellent, from starter to dessert. And this morning, after a breakfast with many local products, I almost arrived late for my first professional meeting made in a pleasant exchange with the managers of this family business. A very nice address to keep

Great establishment

Very warm welcome, very nice room, very good restaurant and very good service! Nothing more to add!

Great establishment!

Stay, very positive, excellent food and warm staff

We came as a couple for only one night, very friendly welcome but small and not high enough quality for the price... As for the breakfast which costs €12 and not having a lot of choice, and especially having rancid tasting butter it was not at all pleasant and the best thing is we found ourselves on a table, not even set with just a white tablecloth at the end of a terrace where it was very cold. (BE CAREFUL where you put your food, I don't think the cold chain is respected.) Otherwise the only positive point is the calm.

Very good restaurant but a bit expensive. Hotel a bit expensive and a bit old. Small room but good mattress and linen, small bathroom (toilet stuck to the radiator, not very comfortable, very shallow shower and accessories worn out)

Perfect welcome, smile and kindness.

A professional, pleasant, welcoming and always smiling team. Refined meals, a real taste pleasure!

Beautiful location, friendly and welcoming staff, very comfortable rooms

This establishment is a real gem...from the welcome to the catering, everything is of high quality!! The menu lets you discover very good products and the rooms are comfortable and spacious. It is always a pleasure to stay there.

Really excellent cuisine

I came to recharge my batteries in the region in mid-December. The hotel is ideally located in a quiet area close to shops and the castle. Despite my late arrival at the hotel restaurant, I was welcomed with kindness and the cooks prepared a delicious plate/complete meal for me. I was able to feel "at home" thanks to the kindness of the owners. Thank you!

Nice hotel and quality restaurant although the overall price is a little high.

The restaurant is the major asset of this establishment. Beautiful menu and quality regional products. Friendly welcome and very competent service staff. I recommend.

Very good value for money.

warm welcome, quality service. a perfect breakfast.

Still the same pleasure to go there regularly for 10 years

Everything is perfect. Welcome, room, meals, value for money. Worth the trip

The room #7 we had (room with terrace) was spacious and pleasant with a large bed and quality bedding. A small bottle of water would not be a luxury!

exceptional it's a place where I would return the welcome, the calm the place was a real pleasure

Beautiful establishment, excellent restaurant.

I find the night a little expensive. I had asked for special attention for my friend's birthday which had been confirmed by email, but not respected in the evening at dinner. So I was disappointed on this subject.

Just... MAGNIFICENT...the place, the welcome, the service...

Excellent restaurant. Room well equipped and met requirements. Only comment is that the room had a kettle but we couldn't find a plug to use it safely, although this didn’t really affect us.

A very nice discovery of the Hostellerie des Ducs, we stayed 3 nights in room 7 with terrace and view of the castle of Duras and the countryside and we took advantage of all the relaxation and comfort services that the establishment offers pure happiness In addition equipped with free and secure parking We feel like we are We also appreciated the restaurant and the quality of the dishes Not to mention the Blanchet family and its smiling, friendly and very professional staff always ready to help you so that your stay is perfect Restaurateurs and hoteliers with great professionalism and who love their job thank you again We will come back it is on Mr and Mrs Perez

Lovely hotel and wonderful dinner!

Very picturesque property with nice outdoor seating area. Hotel set in a beautiful area. Room very worn and in need of make over. Floor was lifting and bubbled and needs maintenance. Wifi was an additional charge and was the worst ever experienced! Did not participate in breakfast as additional charge, did not use the gym or pool area as additional charge. All quite disappointing at nearly £100 per night!

A warm welcome from a team that bends over backwards to satisfy customers, a pleasant place and an exquisite meal. I obviously recommend making the detour to enjoy it.

Nothing to complain about, maybe the evening service is a bit long 20 minutes between two dishes.

Perfect welcome, very good establishment, staff and great!!! My dinner went perfectly, I have rarely been so satisfied to this point!!! Lunch was plentiful. Pure happiness!!!!

Perfect location for a stay in Lot-et-Garonne. Very friendly snd helpful hosts and personnel. Excellent cuisine - also very helpful in case of special requests. I highly recommend Hostellerie des Ducs 👌

The Hostellerie des Ducs is an establishment where we always enjoy returning. The quality of the welcome but also the comfort and the very nice menu of the restaurant make it an essential hotel when you come to the region. When I am less than 100 kilometers away, I make a detour to come and stay there for my greatest pleasure!!! I would come back with great pleasure to this very good establishment.

A very warm welcome. Impeccable cleanliness. The garden is magnificent, the pool and spa services are impeccable. It will be a pleasure to come back.

A super nice hotel in a quiet area and very close to the city center and the castle. A very warm welcome as well as the staff of the hotel, the restaurant. A very cocooning room. I recommend 1000 times.

Lovely traditional Logis with great restaurant

VERY SATISFIED WITH OUR STAY. HOTEL TO RECOMMEND WITHOUT HESITATION.

Excellent accueil binne evoute de la direction pour satisfaire dans le choix de la chambre bonne table

Very friendly welcome and staff, attentive to our requests. Delicious meal at the restaurant, I highly recommend this family establishment located 3 minutes walk from the Château de Duras.

I had booked a standard room but it had no power outlets. So not up to date anymore. Complained at the reception and after a phone call by the receptionist we were rebooked to another, more luxurious room with sufficient power outlets.

Address to recommend without hesitation. Very high quality establishment, run by the family for over 40 years. Charming, friendly, delicious.

Stunning

We were greeted with a big smile and it was very nice. The stay was very pleasant both in terms of the hotel and the restaurant. If you want to have a good time, we highly recommend this establishment.

Very short but very pleasant stay. We had an excellent dinner on the terrace overlooking the garden. The quality of the cuisine is there. This experience is worth the detour. Very friendly welcome.

Nice establishment, with very friendly staff. Very well located because close to the castle and the center

Great welcome, well located hotel, very clean and warm room. I recommend 👍

Great place. Very attentive staff. Very cozy rooms. Very nice restaurant and delicious dishes

The staff were incredibly friendly throughout. We stayed for dinner and that was a beautiful experience thanks to the amazing food and service.

Very good stay. Very pleasant garden and veranda setting. Very flowery environment. Swimming pool. Close to the castle and the city center.

Magnificent site and lovely welcome

Everything is perfect!!! Marianne and Jerome

Very high quality at all levels with very good value for money

We had a great stay!!! The hotel is wonderful and the team is very attentive to welcoming us and giving us great advice!!!! It is a great pleasure to stay with your host!!!

A hotel where you feel good. A very friendly welcome a stone's throw from the Château de Duras, and with a small swimming pool and parking, ideal as a base for visiting the northwest of Lot et Garonne. And an excellent restaurant. In short, a very nice experience.

Our friends gave us good advice. Thank you.

We went to this establishment on recommendation, we were delighted with our short stay. We will come back without hesitation. Everything is perfect and beautiful. Breakfast and dinner: excellent. If you are in DURAS, stop at this establishment, you will not be disappointed.

It was ok. Easy check in, no forms. Easy out bill pay by card. Rooms are upstairs, no elevator, you carry your havy luggage. Nice Airconditioning, clean and lovely beds and sheets. Tiny bathroom. Also everything seems small, narrow and a bit outdated. Breakfast buffet good and plenty of choices, but in a small area. Great parking, nice garden, small pool with closing hours at 7.00 pm evenings in Sommer time!!

Family hotel with a very pleasant welcome, attentive staff, a top restaurant and perfect activity advice. The swimming pool and breakfast on the terrace, a treat.

Very nice establishment, very clean, very kind staff, I recommend

Excellent gîte with very good service and very good relations from the owners. To recommend

Lovely location in the ancient town of Duras . Family welcome

Very satisfied ready to return.

Friendly hotel. Lovely food. Great pool. Perfect location. Comfortable bed

Despite deplorable customer relations and room decoration that is not to my taste, the hotel stands out for its enchanting setting. The chef's cuisine, a true gastronomic apotheosis, elevates the experience to a divine level.

The hotel setting is very pleasant and the chef's cuisine is simply divine. However, the decoration of the rooms is not to my taste. The big downside remains customer relations, which really lacks professionalism and is borderline aggressive.

Excellent!

We've used this hotel for our overnight stop for several years and we always look forward to it and are never disappointed!

Very tired looking bedroom. No bedside table on one side of the bed. No bedside light on one side of the bed. Very worn carpet on the stairs. Good shower. Fantastic dinner in the restaurant and very good breakfast.

The hotel was very good with excellent catering. Dinner was especially good. The only negative comment was that the wifi connection was dreadful.

Very warm welcome upon my arrival, a room with unique charm with bathrobe, shampoo, etc. Beautiful restaurant with excellent service and dishes. To put it simply, I would be happy to return to this establishment as soon as possible.

Our parents stayed at the Hostellerie des Ducs in 1980, a year after it opened. They really enjoyed their stay... We came for one night on May 31. We appreciated all the services at their fair value: the magnificent setting, the cleanliness of the rooms, the breakfast. The welcome given to customers is also a plus: a warm and professional welcome. To recommend without hesitation. Excellent establishment. Mr and Mrs Hauguel

Hotel well located in Duras. Free secure parking. Good soundproofing.

The only hotel in the village. Really very small room and exaggerated price considering the size of the room. Doesn't deserve three stars.

HOTEL WITH A LOT OF CHARM AND VERY GOOD WELCOME

Very nice establishment, with very efficient seminar equipment (team of 20 people). Plus the setting and the table are exceptional!

GOOD

Overall, a stay with good value for money but mainly for the catering part. Stopover package is around €105, which is correct but there is a big difference between the restaurant which is really excellent, in particular the evening menu offered which is copious, elaborate, and the hotel part which is a little bit aging, the rooms correct but nothing more (notably the bathroom with very narrow shower and curtain... Breakfast between the two, the products offered are correct but little choice and above all lack of quantity (many customers have couldn't get any pastries) and the staff doesn't look to restock So overall, a bit in between but to go there at least for the catering part A little disappointed also with the parking which only allows for a few cars.

A very pleasant break in a place carefully designed to make you feel at home with the added quality of welcome. A destination to be favored in Lot et Garonne.

excellent welcome, excellent food and very pretty site: perfect, whether for a leisure or work stay.

We had a nice stay here. The food was excellent and accommodation fine.

Friendly welcome. Comfort and cleanliness. A table that is worth the detour. Very quiet place to recharge your batteries. In short, to do again as soon as I return to the region, even if it means taking a detour....

There was secure storage for the bike. Hu

Exceptionally kind.

We feel very good in this hotel, it's very pleasant

A fab Family run hotel. The staff are extremely accommodating and friendly. We had a very pleasant 2 night stay. Rooms are rustic, cozy, comfortable and clean We especially enjoyed our evening meal in the hotel restaurant, it was honestly suberb! Duras village is beautiful with the castle, a couple of cafe/restaurants and a supermarket all within walking distance. An added bonus to have on site parking. We would highly recommend this hotel, would definitely book again.

Good welcome, friendly owners and staff

Very good restaurant. Professional and welcoming staff Building full of character Very poorly soundproofed room

Adorable staff, an excellent restaurant and very comfortable bedding

Perfect

I have been frequenting the Hostellerie des Ducs for over 20 years. It is a blessing to be able to frequent such an establishment which, for 4 generations, has held French hospitality very high with a touch of the South West. Quality local produce with culinary creativity always revisited, all this with a generous smile, what more could you want? May it last as long as possible!

Superb stay. Charming hotel. Everything was perfect. We will come back with pleasure.

Stopover evenings for salespeople are becoming more and more expensive, you're going to scare me away

great evening stopover exceptional equipment really top in a wonderful setting. village where it is good to take a walk after dinner.

Very warm welcome and good and plentiful restaurant

Ideal for an evening stopover

The Hôtel des Ducs is really great! The welcome is great, the room magnificent and the menus are superbly good. Thanks to the team.

Excellent bedding

Everything was really perfect!!! A caring family team. And in the restaurant, everything is delicious!

Wifi works very poorly in the room

A very high quality address. Take care of it

Attentive staff, comfortable rooms and above all a top restaurant, unbeatable value for money in the evening.

Very warm welcome, very pleasant quality of service. Very very good catering. Perhaps a refresh of the bathroom, too bad there is no shower instead of the bathtub. I'll be back.

A hotel with an outdoor area (swimming pool) which should be pleasant if the weather permits. The service at the restaurant is impeccable! worthy of the greats ;) The quality of the rooms and the catering is TOP!! Thanks to the whole team :)

Despite arriving quite late, I was able to dine in an excellent manner where the quality of the food and choice were excellent. There is nothing to complain about the room and breakfast, everything was perfect. In summary, an excellent stopover at DURAS that I would happily repeat.

Lovely hotel, very helpful staff

We try to come here at least once a year

Very warm welcome, top-notch rooms, attentive staff and excellent meals!!! Do not hesitate a minute to take advantage of it!

The room looked exactly like the pictures but it was not clear that the suites were in a separate building from the hotel. This involved crossing a road and climbing a fairly steep hill and a flight of stairs. Since these are the accessible rooms, this should have been specified on the hotel website. In practical terms this means that you cannot use the pool unless you are prepared to walk down the street in a bathing suit and bathrobe.

Easily accessible hotel in a historic location. The value for money of the restaurant is not the best. The service was pleasant and attentive congratulations on this point
