Room was pleasant and clean, staff were friendly. Was slightly further out of town than expected (walk of approx 20 mins) so one evening went to a restaurant just around the corner instead (there looked to be a couple of decent options.) Pool was reasonable.

That hotel was pretty good comparing to our experience in Paris. Location was good. Public parking is recommended. Don't pay 13 Euros to the hotel. Public parking next to it is just 8.50 per day and only for hours when you use it. Thus, it will be much cheaper. If you leave at 9AM and park at 6PM or between 12PMand 2PM - it is free. Staff was OK but not very friendly. We had a fridge and a kettle. Tea and coffee available. Overall, it is a good hotel in the heart of Blois.

The location of the hotel was fine. It’s fairly close to the city center. The staff were friendly but this hotel should not have a 4 star rating. While the rooms and hotel were clean the condition of the hotel interior are tired. The outside of the hotel is badly in need of a refresh. In addition, the pictures of the hotel do not accurately represent the exterior. At breakfast when items ran out during the service hours the items were not refilled.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was modern and had all the amenities that we needed (e.g. free WiFi, charging ports, safe, shower soaps, nice shower with overhead and hand-held, etc.). The restaurant was closed when we arrived, but the chef makes really nice items available for purchase at the bar behind the reception. I can’t remember the name of the person who helped us, but he warmed up our two items, got us some bread and made me a perfect margarita too. Since it was pouring down rain, we opted to dine in and were glad we did when we saw so many coming back to the hotel completely soaked. Thanks!

The advertising for this place is the definition of false advertising. The room was the tiniest room I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in Japan. You could barely fit two people in there without running into each other between the counter and the bed and I had myself, my husband and two kids. I booked this property because of the pictures online that are ridiculously unrealistic but I wouldn’t know that until we arrived unfortunately. The pool is freezing and tiny. There were 12 people at the pool and you couldn’t go anywhere without running into someone…like barely fit five people in the pool comfortably. My daughter could not even jump in and swim without splashing other people. I legit thought I was booking a castle because that is in your pictures. I’m not from here so I did not know it is a local castle that you advertise as your hotel. What a joke. I paid so much money for a concrete jungle. Honestly I want my money back. My family travelled from Canada to stay in castles and have an experience that we can’t get at home. This was extremely disappointing. I’m staying now at the Fourvière Lyon for the same price. It feels and looks like a literal castle, as advertised. We have a two room, two bath little suite. The fact that these two rooms are technically considered equal is wild to me. Fix your false advertising please and I’d like to see you remedy this situation. Unbelievable.
