Perfect location to explore Verdun, large room in an ecclectic historic home. The host was friendly and accommodating (it is his family's home) and there was an optional delicious breakfast. The room is a suite with plenty of space for two adults and a teen.

Fantastic place, with a lovely atmosphere. Really comfy room and well presented. Roman was a splendid host and a top Gent to deal with.

Roman was a great host, making sure everything was in order. We lived in the Tintin room, it was great, and we loved all the quirkyness :)

A shower curtain above the bath would be helpful.

Breakfast was good and the accommodation is in a good location.

The WC is outside the room but this a small price to pay for staying in this place.

A uniquely different accommodation. Huge bedroom furnished in 19th century style. People who are looking for something different than hotels will find this place refreshingly pleasant. Guests can also enjoy staying in a garden that is an oasis of calm.

Although the toilet was exclusive use it was across the corridor.

A decidedly unique property close to the centre of Verdun and convenient for WW1 visits. Clearly a TinTin fan the host was very welcoming helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was nice and fresh despite an early departure on a Sunday morning. Free parking in a small square close to the property.

Nothing not to like

A beautiful house and garden , very near to the town too. A lovely town. The owner Roman was also so welcoming and friendly and thankfully spoke English too. The breakfast was great and sitting in the amazing garden to eat it was a treat. A very pleasant stay 😀

We shared the large family room, and the beds in the second bedroom are clearly more for children and young adults than older adults. But that wasn’t a surprise. In terms of value, Maison de 1853 surpasses expectations.

Maison de 1853 has an excellent location, walking distance to the cathedral and to the city center. The owner is delightful : helpful and pleasant, and he served an excellent breakfast. The property is original and it has a wonderful garden.

It is hard to say what I didn't like. After all, we were staying in a very old home in old Town, so parking could be fairly close, or a long city block away. But with a new rental car and rear facing camera and guidance, parking was very manageable.

The breakfast was generous in its servings, and provided a wide variety of choices of food and drink. Local products were served and enhanced the feeling that we were eating just like people of Verdun.

The staircase needed better lighting maybe auto on timed off.

The property was quirky but comfortable with everything needed for a pleasant stay. The owner was happy to assist. The cat was friendly the back garden refreshing. It's a short walk down the hill to the centre of town with eating places for breakfast lunch and dinner and shops. I had breakfast in a pastisery each morning which allowed me to pick up a baggette etc for lunch since I was driving to sites each day. Parking was free and I never missed out on a spot. The location is also good for walking to sites of interest in the town. The town is well located for visits to historic sites from WW1 and Maginot line sites such as Ouvrage de la Ferte and Hackenburg.

Really nice house, amazing garden

The front faces on to quite a busy area which may cause noise issues. We had one idiot in a car scream past in in the early hours. Not the property’s’ fault.

A lovely older building with much character. A lovely oasis of peace in the rear garden. A short walk to main town area. Much local info provided by hosts.

Breakfast was exceptional. Ambiance of hotel was different in a very good way.

The toilet isn't located in the room but down the hall, it was, however, dedicated solely to our room. There is a shower and sink inside the room.

The house is truly unique and full of interesting art and memorabilia. The garden is beautiful and a sweet cat greeted us there in the morning. The host went above and beyond to make us feel at home.

Very little.

Location very good. The property was spot on for what we wanted, rooms are large and comfortable, certainly they are quirky but it all adds to the character. The host could not be more helpful and should we be in the area again we will make a point of staying there again.

This boutique hotel is excellent value for money,perfect location (free parking),the host was incredibly helpful.Breakfasts were fantastic and beautifully presented.The decore is an absolutely unique and interesting collection of artifacts Interesting to note that this building survived both world wars and acted as a refuge after the WW1 bombardment.Garden is lovely. Great stay and we thoroughly recommend Maisson 1853.Doug and Sonia (Australia)

the building is old so it has its quirks such as squeaky floors. It also forced the owner to be creative when arranging the private bathrooms. it’s all part of the charm, though!

super-friendly staff, delicious and relatively cheap breakfast, an interesting building, unique interiors. defo an accommodation you will remember for years to come!

The toilet was separate, along the hallway. Towels were a bit shabby. The WiFi didn't work despite being connected to the Internet.

Location was close to the centre in a quiet area, easy parking. The room was large and with quirky decorations ie lots of Tin Tin memorabilia! Bed was comfortable. Good for an overnight stay. The host was friendly.

Everything was fine, parking could be tricky but wasn't for us

Excellent breakfast, lovely garden, friendly cat, fascinating building, very useful local knowledge provided

The house is a bit noisy. You have to be very specific on when you will arrive as the staff come based when you tell them you arrive.

It’s a funky old house with interesting decor. My room was Tintin-themed.
