The property is well maintained and we were greeted with a smile. The room was spacious and overlooking the water. Air conditioning did not work but there was a fan in the room.

Excellent Christmas Hospitality

We stayed over Christmas while visiting family in the area, and while there were very few people at the hotel, the staff still have the same level of great service that we've experienced while staying there in the summer which was really lovely :)

A good address in the Loire valley

Good stay as the hotel is very well located allowing easy access to different beautiful sites in the Loire valley. Obviously it is an old refurbished building that is comfortable and well maintained. Taking several suitcases down from the second floor on our own was the only negative aspect of the stay. Otherwise staff has been very helpful.

Gien hotel

Nice little hotel near the river and handy for the restaurants. I had a suite that was huge and because it was near reception wifi was really good. No lift which is difficult if you have a lot of baggage

Average hotel

I have to start by saying we paid 74 Euros, £65.80 for a double comfort room, so at the cheap end. We stayed here for one night during a very hot July. There was no air conditioning just a desk fan. We were on the third (top) floor and there was no lift. I paid for a room with a river view but the bedroom window did not open fully so limited the view. The shower was good and the room was clean. WiFi was available but unable to view mail. Staff were helpful and friendly and it is about a 5-10 minute walk into the main town where we had a very good Indian. Breakfast was a buffet and there was a good choice, nicely laid out and a pleasant seating area. I probably would not choose to stay here again because of the lack of lift and air con.

Hôtel agréable

Accueil très chaleureux ! L’hôtel est bien situé, le bar est cosy et le petit déjeuner de qualité et diversifié. Les parties communes viennent d’être rénovées. Seul bémol, notre chambre, bien que propre et confortable, était un peu vétuste et mériterai d’être rafraîchie.

Décevant..

Propreté qui laisse à désirer, toiles d’araignée apparente, moquette degueulasse, salle bain à refaire et sale, literie pas folle… Bref, très cher pour le peu de qualité. En lisant les commentaires, j’ai vu une différence entre le première étage et le deuxième… j’étais au troisième…

Séjour très convenable, très propre, lit de bonne qualité. Salle de bain un peu vieillissante, carrelage et sol à refaire. Hôtel très calme, et petit déjeuné excellent
