“Should be at least a three-star”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW

Great little hotel with owners who make you feel at home. Don't know why this is only a two-star hotel, since it deserves to be at least a three-star. The home-made jellies with the breakfast are winners. Parking on the premises. Within walking distance of several good restaurants.

“A Rare Find!!”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

I couldn't find one bad review on trip advisor and had to book Hotel Diderot because of the home made jams! They did live up to the hype and more. Chinon, a beautiful village 3-5 hours drive from Paris, was perfect for our 2 night stay in Loire before a conference back in Paris. We arrived after 9.30 pm and... More

Easy to find is an important attribute when traveling on bicycle. We rolled into town and easily found our hotel. The hotel was charming, the room spacious and everything functioned as proscribed. We were warmly greeted and the staff was very helpful in local recommendations. They even helped with an improved route for our next day. The breakfast provided everything... More

During our long weekend in the Loire valley we spend one night in this nice hotel - it's small, family-run, bike-friendly (the bicycle corner even provides towels to dry your saddle, unique service ;-) in a lovely old building. Very friendly owners, and by no means miss the breakfast!

Reviewed 7 May 2013

That the Hotel Diderot is rated at only two stars is a travesty. I was instantly impressed by the owners and the facilities. It has a warm home feeling and we were well pleased with our room. The breakfast was excellent, with homemade jams as a centerpiece with excellent breads and coffee. Chinon is a nice town, especially if you... More

“A real delight”

Reviewed 25 April 2013

Don't be put off by the two star rating. This is nothing like a normal French two star hotel. It is spotless, charming and quirky and you will be made very welcome by the owners. The rating is probably because it doesn't have a restaurant but that doesn't matter as there are numerous restaurants just a few minutes walk away... More
