Grand Hôtel de l'Abbaye  

Excellent staff and a fabulous historic location.

This hotel was fantastic. We got it on the off season, so we had beautiful everything with a very reasonable price. Staff was professional, town is just around the corner. My favorite hotel from our trip.

Just a very special building to be able to stay in with great service

This hotel is in a great location for investigating the Loire Valley and is situated right across the street from the river. It is charming and well done, everything that one might expect from a *** hotel, but better than many of the same rating.

Messy bathtub (no curtain or door).

Great location on the banks of Loire in a very interesting old building - plenty of history in those walls and impressive for those looking for something really old. I found my room ok rather than good but my sister thought hers was a lot better.Great terrace to sit out on in the evening - or during the day - overlooking the river and the much repaired bridge.

No restaurant in hotel and nearby restaurants maybe plentiful but standards varied.

The fact it was a former Abbey, made it more unusual.There was a recording of monks chanting as you went up the stairs which was very atmospheric.The lounge and the bar were attractively decorated.

It was situated on a very busy junction which made it noisy sitting in the garden. The rooms could have been a bit cleaner.

We really liked the building itself, the layout of the rooms and the total ambience of the place especially the monks chanting as we went upstairs. It was beautifully furnished in character with the building. The setting by the river was perfect for long walks to see the wildlife and birds. The breakfasts were magnificent and staff were especially helpful and pleasant. Altogether a most enjoyable stay.

On arrival the receptionist was very efficient and helpfully booked a lovely restaurant for dinner. The Abbaye is historic and has a wonderful atmosphere. Breakfast was good if a tad expensive! My husband enjoyed a run by the Loire.

It certainly was grand! our 12 year old son loved having his own "department" with us being on a mezzanine floor above him.

the abbey was situated on a busy main road at a crossroads junction. we felt like we were sleeping on a roundabout ! It was not the relaxing retreat I'd hoped for after 5 days of travelling. Also It was the Beaugency summer festival there was a band on stage til gone midnight literally across the road from us! Not much sleep to be had at all! Avoid Beaugency during August festival time!

the breakfast and the décor

First of all, you -- Booking.com -- messed up the booking. We got to the hotel and they only had a room for one night, and that they'd tried to reach Booking.com to communicate this and never received an answer from you. After much fuss, we managed to secure a room for the other 2 nights we'd reserved, but we had to switch rooms at a time when we were very tired and hoping to have some relaxation instead of aggravation. Second, the hotel was extremely noisy - it's right on the main road, and there was a summer amusement park 30 meters from the front gate which made noise until 2 am.

very impresive ambience of a well decorated monestry, good breakfast, good location

very difficult to carry your luggage upstairs

Staying at the Abbey was amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the Loire River Valley. Breakfast was great, the view and history added to the experience
