Pros:

Relaxt hotel dicht bij Chinon. Goede kamers en fijn ontvangst. Parkeerplaats is enkele minuten lopen, maar echt top geregeld. Ontbijt is een echte aanrader, heel goed!

A lovely boutique hotel in Chinon , which is a good base for some of the Loire attractions
Pros:

Fabulous ambience. Lots of attention to detail and the outside area was lovely .
Gated parking down the road from the hotel was the deal breaker when choosing to stay given that we had a full boot .
Really useful tips from friendly staff… don’t miss the glass lift to get up to the fort.
There looked to be a lovely Lebanese restaurant on the corner of the street.

Cons:

My husband is 6 ft 3 so bed a bit short. However that is the case in many hotels and we should perhaps have upgraded to a bigger room

Cons:

La salle de bain assez exiguë , les escaliers étroits et raides.

A great place to stay in Chinon
Pros:

Lovely independent hotel across the river from the historic town centre of Chinon. The private parking was a blessing as the town was exceptionally busy due to an event. I particularly liked the freshly made ciron juice at breakfast

Cons:

nothing

Pros:

El sitio es muy bonito y las habitaciones están genial. El personal es majisimo y el desayuno está bien (aunque un pelín carete). El sitio está cerca de chinón (en 10 min andando estás en el centro). Tiene alguna plaza de parking, pero yo aparqué en la calle, cerca, en zona sin necesidad de pago.
