Wonderfully stylish boutique hotel slap bang in the heart of Orléans. We used it as a single night pit-stop whilst driving the length of the country, but I'm sorry we couldn't stay longer. Our three (superior) rooms were beautifully decorated & appointed in wonderfully eccentric extreme French 3rd Empire style. The staff were extremely helpful (and Anglophone, although this wasn't...

We stayed at this lovely small hotel in a family suite - there was enough room for 3..but I'm not sure where the 5 would go as advertised! My only problem would be that the hotel was old and creaky and every step you took at night creaked all the old floorboards. Small issue though...the hotel was gorgeous and the... More

Thanks Tripadvisor and critics for leading us to this gem. Marvellous rooms decorated with antique furniture in impeccable traditional taste. The staff were amazingly friendly and really went the extra mile to be of service. The breakfast is complete and lovingly laid out. It was unforgettable experience and on of it, very reasonably priced.

We stayed at this hotel in route to to Burgundy. The staff was pleasant, the decor was charming, the room offered a small balcony overlooking the pedestrian street, and it was reasonably priced. However, we have two complaints. First, the room (room 110) and bathroom are incredibly small, even by European standards. We did notice some of the other rooms... More

After a long drive from Germany (en route to a few days in Normandie) we arrived at l'Abeille. We were welcomed warmly and soon found our way to our 3rd floor room, Beautiful! Great view of Orleans and so well designed, LoiusXVI style, just gorgeous. We have stayed at some of the best hotels in the world and this hotel... More

It has a really nice decoration and the staff is quite kind but I didn´t like that the "special organic breaksfast" they served wasn´t actually organic!! And it costs 11 extra euros. Great location, small but nice room. It should have shampoo and soap in the bathroom. Orleans is a great place to go on vacations..

After a long journey to France we started our tour of the Loire valley in Orleans in the Hotel de l'Abeille. We all loved the old fashioned 'French' feeling of the hotel. The room was comfortable, a little small, but very clean and the fabric 'wallpaper' fascinated me. The long window opened and we overlooked the main street which was... More

Orleans' was our jumping off point for our week in the Loire. My mother and I shared a twin room on the fourth floor which was excellent. Be prepared for a workout as there is no elevator, which we were very aware of when we booked. The hotel staff were very helpful, in particular we arrived on a Sunday when... More

A truly unique and charming hotel with a delightful bee theme throughout even down to the embroidered blinds! We enjoyed the traditional continental "eco" breakfast with lovely fresh ingredients. The hotel is perfectly placed for a stroll into the city centre, the Loire and nearby restaurants. Great for a stopover en route to the south.
