Hotel de L'Europe  

I'm not pleased with this hotel. The reception staff (when I arrived in the evening) wasn't very welcoming and helping. The room was minimalist : the furniture were damn old and scratched and the mirrors so dirty with dust. There was a moisture smell in the bathroom, and I could feel and smell humidity breaking through. The shower was very small, and the shower head not very convenient. Fortunately, I'm not big, but I really wonder how a 1m80 guy can hold in this shower. You can also hear what happens in the other rooms close to yours ! The only good point was the mattress which was quite hard. I can't say anything about the breakfast, because I didn't feel like staying a long time in this hotel. The deco in the corridors and staircase is nice, nothing compared to the austere look of the room and breakfast place, or maybe you just have to avoid the room 304 ?! Not to go again.

It is near the tours train station. We can go there about 2 miniutes by walking.

This hotel is right near the station and next to the information centre, very handy for day trips to the Loire Valley. I had 2 rooms over 3 nights, the first was great and at the back away from noise, clean and roomy. The second room was disgraceful, located over the busy street to the station but that aside, it was filthy, the bathroom had not been cleaned from the previous occupants and the sink, mirror were filthy, the toilet dirty and used plastic cups on the vanity. Underneath the pillows on the bed there were heaps of black hairs and filth. When I complained the feench gentleman who owns the hotel abused me, he came up to the room with a bucket, wiped down the sink and toilet with a dirty cloth and left. The shower leaked all over the floor and ran out of the bathroom into the carpet. The receptionist when I arrived was exremely rude and abrupt, threw me my key and didnt even bother to greet not explain anything about the hotel. Te best thing about this hotel is the location if you can get a quiet room, breakfast was good also but extra 8.50 euro.

Very close to Tours station. Excellent for early morning train trip to Paris

Corridor was a bit tight with fire door, hard to get bags through

Very friendly staff. Hotel was well located within 10 minutes to the town. The room was clean.

Location. Very near the train station and there are a lot of fast food restaurants and a supermarket nearby

In my room the toilet and the bathroom are separated and about 3 meters from each other, which I found quite inconvenient.

Central location

The cleaning staff repeatedly entered our room whilst sleeping. The staff were not friendly or approachable.

Everything was superb during my 3 nights stay at this hotel. The staff were friendly, we were greeted at all time, there was only someone on the front desk, let it be 7 in the morning or 12 at night! The room was always cleaned right after we left the hotel for our daily activities, and fresh change of towels everyday! Superb location, half a minute walk to Gare de Tours, half a minute walk to the Tours Information Centre, where you can book daily excursions to visit castles of Loire Valley, and only 5 minutes walk to Jean-Jaures, which is a shopping street comparable to the Oxford Street in London. Bus station right in front of the hotel, so you can go practically everywhere in Tours, right from your hotel! Can't recommend enough!!!

Very close to the city center.

Hotel has histirycal style

Breakfast is not good

One of the nicest budget to mid-range hotels in France. Rates were great; room was terrific and spotless; hotel staff are very friendly and accommodating; right beside the train station and with easy access to the best sight seeing.

100 year old building - very representative of the golden era of rail. 17th through 20th century furniture here and there throughout...

An old hotel, which meant it had lots of character. Conveniently located near the station. Clean and comfortable. No complaints at all.
