This place is impeccable. In spite of it being in an historic building it has been lovingly maintained. Our triple room had an enormous bedroom with twin sinks. The beds were in separate rooms and there were original paintings on the walls. Breakfast was very good. Stay there if you’re in the area.

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.

Nice little hotel......Good value for the money...

They gave us a nice room on the second floor looking right out over the city square....The windows in the hotel are double paned, so even at night it was nice and quiet in the room....We could look right up and see the citadel of CHINON....There are many nice restaurants and cafes in the area.. Also, there is LaveMatique about three blocks away which we used to wash some clothes since we were staying in FRANCE for over three weeks....

Nicely situated. Great shower and a nice breakfast. The room was very large - it had 3 chairs and a table. The largest room on our trip. It was very clean. The staff were very helpful. There are a large number of restraints very close — essentially out the front of the hotel in the square. Nevertheless our room was very quiet.
