Wouldn't stay again- another room maybe better
Pros:

Comfy bed, large bathroom, clean. English speaking staff on arrival but not on checkout. Separate sofa bed for son.

Cons:

Would have preferred a separate bedroom, not used lounge/sofa bed as I had booked. Lack of curtains in main bed, didn't like to have to use shutters to stop people looking in. Loud banging noise repeatedly during whole night, suspected from boiler being turned on full- room very hot and water unusable due to being scaldingly hot! When I mentioned this at checkout, was told sorry with big smile but nothing else. Got no to little sleep! Breakfast was boring and little flavour- eggs were yuk!

Aufenthalt im Zentrum von Chinon
Pros:

Das Zimmer war sauber und wirkte renoviert. Lage sehr zentral. Nette Rezeptionistin. Frühstück gut.

Cons:

Hotel glich noch einer Baustelle. Es lag überall Baumaterial herum. Handseife fürs Bad im Zimmer gab es nur auf Nachfrage. Service beim Frühstück freundlich, aber auch irgendwie ineffizient.

Globalement nous sommes contents
Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hotel proche du centre historique de Chinon. Le choix varié du petit déjeuner. L'acceuil et la disponibilité du personnel.

Cons:

Difficile de juger l'hotel car il est en réablilitation. Donc des travaux qui parfois gène la tranquillité. Espérons que la chambre où nous étions sera aussi refaite, ça lui donnera un coup de jeune.
