Book a hotel near Forteresse Royale de Chinon, Chinon

"Comfortable and clean room. Good service and breakfast. Walking distance from center and castle."

"Chinon is a lovely small town and the apartment is in a prime location, close to the town centre and many restaurants. The apartment is of historical significance and has been tastefully refurbished, adding modern conveniences while retaining the exposed wooden beams and with generous sized rooms. So why does it not get a 5 star rating? Firstly, it suffers from a major lack of attention to detail, much of which has been mentioned in other reviews. The raindrop showers spray horizontally rather than vertically (thanks to an earlier review we knew to rub the shower head to unblock the holes, but surely this should be a part of the cleaning regime). The bath towels are so thin you could be excused for thinking they are the same vintage as the house, curtains are thin and falling apart from the sunlight, one toilet had scum marks at the water line and spider webs behind the toilet. There are no block out curtains in the front bedroom and the central heating radiator does not work in that room. I could go on, but you get the idea. Secondly, communication was very confused. The host was listed as Frederic but his approach was to ignore the first couple of messages and then reply saying we should contact the owner (which would be good if we had contact details but they were not forthcoming even though we asked twice). Eventually Frederic blocked my number, a good approach from a host!! Someone from LouLoue did help to resolve some issues, but I did not learn where they fitted in."

"Hotel is really quaint and done within several very old buildings - as best as possible. Decent accommodations, with the givens of walking up and down numerous stairs, dark hallways, etc. Personnel there ranges from: exceptionally sweet young woman - who carried our heavy suitcases up two steep stairs (no elevator) - to a very unfriendly male. Requests like - making a call on our behalf to a beauty salon - were met with dismay (by the male). The breakfast area could be easily mistaken for a US Best Western hotel. Impersonal. Food as well. The only thing - that was really cool - was the giant mural with the Rabelais character - Gargantua (the gourmand). All in all it is an OK place with strategic location within the downtown."

"Perfect place in Chinon. Close to bus/train station and central to everything. Great restaurant on site"

"A wonderful location and host for a most enjoyable stay. Decor is beautiful yet functional and welcoming. The breakfast was the best we have ever had in all our visits to France! "

"The hotel is tastefully furnished with many antiques. Our room, Room of Agnes was on the 4th floor, Maurice, the owner of this property helped us carrying our luggage. The room was larger than expected and fully supplied from cotton swabs to bathrobes, a coffee maker, coffee cups with small cakes, much more than we needed. There were an ottoman and two luggage chairs which I found very useful. My husband an I drove from Mont Saint Michel and stayed there for two nights. Maurice gave us free parking during our stay, so we didn’t have trouble paying at the parking machine. Breakfast was plentiful: coffee, croissants, several cakes, crepes with jams, fruits, boiled eggs, hams, sausages, several fruit juices, cheese, and yogurt. This was much more than we had at previous hotels. I believe Maurice manages very well, cooking, concierging, cleaning. He was a great host."
