Detailed Reviews
Well located in the centre of Chinon with some rooms overlooking the lovely square. Hotel is in an old building but sympathetically modernised with a lovely patio area at the rear. Warm and efficient welcome from reception staff and our room was spotlessly clean with a good size new shower room. Very quiet at night and a good nights rest on a comfy bed. Happily stay here again. (Free parking is available within easy walking distance - we used the car park at PL Jeanne d’Arc)

We stayed one night in this hotel, without booking in advance. The welcome of the owners was very warm. The hotel is located on the main square of Chinon, it is a beautiful old building that has just been very well renovated, with great taste. Comfortable and very clean room, new bedding. Breakfast is excellent, very hearty and varied.
One without fail!

A building from the 17th century has been really tastefully renovated recently. The hotel is located right next to the town's cozy square with good restaurants. Nice room, good bed, nice bathroom. Good breakfast buffet. Super service from the 2 owners.

Beautiful hotel, lovely room with a view of the square, great central location, easy walking distance to the fortress, surrounded by restaurants, staff were very very helpful. The only downside is that there is no elevator, but the staff were happy to help with suitcases. If arriving by train, be sure to book a taxi through the hotel WELL in advance to meet you there, as there are no taxis waiting at the station and there are no Ubers in the entire region.

The hotel was a good size and well situated in the town. We were, however, on the third floor with no lift and I (and many others that I saw) struggled to get our cases up the spiral staircase. The room was fine, but nothing special. There was what looked like a nice patio area outside on the first floor which we didn’t get the opportunity to use. Breakfast had a varied choice, but the room had been decorated with a very modern feel which didn’t really seem to fit with the rest of the hotel. All in all an OK hotel, but nothing to get too excited about.

The rooms are too small.
The bathroom was modern.
Hotel on the main square of CHINON.
The breakfast was excellent with quality products.
The only problem when we pay with best western gift vouchers is that the receptionist doesn't know how to do it.

Stayed for two nights with wife and teenage son, highly recommend this hotel based on our experience. Very centrally located, pleasant and warm staff, good breakfast choice and comfort. Rooms were good standard and well kept. The hotel doesn't have a bar but it does have a drink supply and you can take your drinks to the open air balcony, with a covered area adjacent which is a good way to wind down the evening.

A beautiful building full of charm and good taste in the heart of the old district of Chinon. The rooms are not very large but nice and air conditioned. A patio on the 1st with bar is recommended to spend a good time in peace. Breakfast is delicious, lots of choices. The staff is nice and communicative and good advice.

A great hotel in a great location in Chinon. I was unexpectedly on crutches when we arrived but the staff found me a room on the 1st floor which i managed to navigate to. The staff helped us with luggage on arrival and departure which was much appreciated. We had expected a garage space which didn't pan out but it turned out to be no problem as we found a spot in the parking under the tunnel. The patio area in the hotel was very pleasant to sit and relax in. Breakfast was really nice with lots of choices. Sophie and the rest of the staff were just great. Rooms were on the small side but the hotel was adorable. Thank you!

There is a public car park within 20 yards of the hotel (with fairly cheap prices)
There is also on street parking nearby (next to the river) which is free some of the time.
Also, around 5 minutes away, there is a big free car park on the Joan of Arc market place (once a week it is a market place rather than a car park!)
yes, the hotel has air conditioning, it's now turned on
yes there are hairdryers in the rooms
Bonjour Sandy,
Nous ne disposons pas de service babysitting à l'hôtel. Il s'agit d'une erreur.
Restant à votre disposition pour toute information.
