This hotel has a lot of potential (location, view, historic building etc.). Unfortunately it is not realized to its full extent. Rooms are mediocre, more reminiscent of a hostel; the same goes for the breakfast room, which brings memories back of Eastern Europe in the 80s with its stark, bleak atmosphere. As for the restaurant, nothing memorable to mention. Neither very bad nor very good, just too expensive for what you get (also applies to the hotel itself). Our starters looked like straight from the supermarket, just embellished with some decorative items like salad leaves, sauce drops etc. Voir plus

I wanted to give this place 5 stars, but there were a couple of big items that let it down. Firstly the good points: The hotel is an old beautiful building, as such the rooms are interesting and it is a joy to stay in. The checkin was very clever as we were given a code which we entered into a machine and it spat out our key, but this did mean we didn’t get to meet anyone, which was a little disconcerting. Now the things we didn’t like: The breakfast was lacking, the pastries were dry and there wasn’t an awful lot of choice, considering we had been to many other hotels for less and they had provided more I thought this was a bit of a shame. Also workers who were working on our floor started work at around 8am for a hotel I think this is a big no no, as guests like to relax and get up in their own time and work shouldn’t start until at least 9 or 10. I left both of these points in the suggestion box so they could hopefully action them. Other than this the location is pretty cool, and the place is steeped in history. Voir plus

Beautiful spot, directly situated at the river Loire. Charming small-scaled hotel, with nicely decorated rooms; good beds. At the interior of this 'Relais', we enjoyed a large garden, with various corners for guests, to read, have a drink, or whatever. The restaurant is attached to the medieval building; and offers good choice of regional dishes. The breakfast (if you book this in addition to the room) is excellent; pleasant setting, delicious bread, and all kind of extras. We love to go back there. Voir plus
