Le Grand Hotel

I have previously written a rather grupmy review of this hotel, and decided to stay there again chiefly because of its location. On this occasion I had a much nicer room (no 503): a refurbished attic room with a nice bathroom. We had some travel problesm because of the snow and the staff were very helpful and supportive.

Only the location, the rest was dire. There was a bar which opened at 7.00 pm but it had no atmosphere. The buffet breakfast was reasonably good but served in a dreary room on the first floor. The staff were helpful.

Yes. The rooms were dreadful. We were first given a room (#257, I think) which was tiny, internal and very dark. There were 2 bedside lights and a small desk lamp. One could not read in the room. The bathroom was newly renovated and looked good. We asked for more light and were moved to (I think) #434. This had a window and was better lit, but it was small, poorly decorated and had a terrible bathroom. There was no curtain over the large bathroom window, only a lace curtain. There was a small bath with a handheld shower head whose cord was about 1 metre long. No bath curtain either. You either squeezed into the mall bath, or kneeled in it for a "shower". The toilet was separate at the entrance and the room so small the door could not close

Staff were very helpful - good breakfast - everyone had fun trying to soft boil the breakfast eggs!

The bar wasn't very inviting. We arrived by car and the location of the hotel wasn't clear and parking was difficult. Hotel staff arranged space in front of hotel to book in - but main parking is in the underground park € 10 per day.

quite a reasonable price for a good hotel. near to the old city

make internet connection free

Clean non smoking room as requested. Across the street from the train stop - easy to get to. Had TV, blow dryer and room for three to sleep comfortably. They put us in a room that wasn't facing the street which kept the street noise down in the morning.

The carpet is very worn as is the room. But - for the price, being clean and how easy it was to get there it was good.

Fantastic location.Very comfortable room too.

Could not afford the breakfast-12 euros each!

It was a convenient and pleasant base for our stop over on the way south.Our family room was exceptionally spacious and comfortable, the air conditioning was very welcome.

The cost of breakfast was very high. we ate much cheaper locally.

We used the hotel for board only. rooms were clean and spacious, and we were not disturbed by staff who were generally polite and helpful. Hotel is very conveniently placed for Station and town amenities. Good value for money.

Hotel looks a little run down from outside

very nice located, good price/value

fantastic location and only 8 minutes walk to old historic Tours

Rate was good however we were first offered a room which was far too small and very grotty but was later given a nice large airy and bright room so all was well in the end.

It was just next to te train station and near the shops

The bathroom was awfull, the shower was broken and it was not clean.The bed was a little small.

very convenient. close to the TGV station.

My room key became disabled in the morning of the last day. I did not know if it was made on purpose. The staff helped out but did check with me if I was planning to check out soon.
