Excellent location in very beautiful town. Delightful restaurant Au Chapeau Rouge is next door. The hotel is in an attractive and lively square in the heart of the old town. Parking (public and paying) was OK for us but could be a hard to find in high season.

Very nice location, nice decor. Staff is very helpful: I had to stay only one night and I arrived many hours late due to a travel problem so they arranged for a late checkout.

We have stayed overnight before on our way further south and really enjoy the ambience of the hotel and, on one occasion, the apartment. We love the atmosphere outside the hotel, when we have a room overlooking the square and my husband always like putting his car in the secure garage. The beds were clean and very comfortable, although our room was a little small. We enjoy our breakfast outside on the terrace as it always gets us in holiday mood.

The staff were helpful and the breakfast was good. We requested an apartment for three people, two adults and one child. The put up bed was of very poor quality and the child who is twelve was unable to sleep on it because it was uncomfortable, unsteady so rocked and every time you moved it made a loud squeaking noise. I had to sleep on the put up bed and had a very poor nights sleep. It was really disappointing.

We liked particularly, the position overlooking the little square. The decor is amazing. A stunning building. Staff were, at all times, friendly and helpful.Only one recommendation for improvement and that is a pillow menu! Down pillows would have been wonderful. Rather a hard bed!

Great location with very nice continental breakfast included and close secure car park for small extra fee.free Wi Fi which seems to be everywhere now.Close to good restaurants and main sights and laundry facilities Need to ensure that you request a room overlooking the square and close to reception as it can be a big haul up narrow stairs to your room

Friendly & helpful reception staff. Very central location within easy walk of chateau in a mainly pedestrian area with shops post office on same street. Although cenrtal not really noisy. Not too easy to find & you have to read signs that say buses & hotels only & then you are confronted with a rising bollard in the road but actually when you are at this point the hotel is on the right corner but you tend not to see it because you are wondering whether to turn left or to try going through the bollard by speaking on the microphone!! The private garage of the hotel is essential if you have a car because of its location but you need to pre reserve it although it is free & only 50metres from the hotel.

Katrina, who was the receptionist on our arrival was outstanding. We had booked a table in the restaurant in advance and the meal was excellent. In the restaurant we were served with our aperitif promptly but then had a wait of 25minutes to have the food order taken, which is unacceptable. The staff were excellent, but it was obvious that there were insufficient restaurant staff for the number of customers.

The staff was extremely impressive. They were personable, accommodating, available & highly competent. The hotel decor is very charming. The location is perfect for someone who wants to stay in a small mid-evil town - and the town itself (Chinon) is in the heart of the Loire Valley and a great location for taking day trips to other towns and Chateaus. The room always felt warm and we were not comfortable keeping the windows open when we slept because the windows were too easily accessible if someone did want to break in.

The location in the centre of Chinon is lovely, the hotel bistro is charming & great to have a car park. The rooms are incredibly small, basic and tired for the amount charged

Hôtel très bien situé en plein coeur de Chinon, sur une petite place très animée, à deux pas de l'accès au Chateau. L'hôtel est très accueillant, décor chaleureux - poutres, boiseries, moquette - les chambres et la literie sont confortables. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Le restaurant de l'hôtel est excellent, même si le service fut un peu long. Un plus: l'hôtel possède un garage (9 euros la nuit, mais c'est un véritable avantage, car le stationnement n'est pas facile en ville.)
