The staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had a wonderful view of the river. Breakfast was not free, but was reasonably priced and the variety of food was good. There was plenty of free parking across the street by the river. We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Great location and a good 2 star hotel

Small hotel that states 2 star but the room was clean and suitable for a short stay the breakfast was good. The hotel is within easy walking distance from the town shops and restaurants. There is parking in a church car park behind the hotel which is free after 1830 and all Sunday, there is some building works going on but this did not impact uas at all.

Refurbished and comfortable

A small, refurbished boutique hotel by the Loire and minutes from the town centre. Nice staff. Breakfast is typical for a small place. I enjoyed my stay. Just note the restricted opening times for reception - important if your arrival falls outside the time frame

Great budget stay for 2 nights. Staff was excellent, breakfast was a good value and good. What we did not like was steep stairs, no elevator or refrigerator. Room and bathroom adequate size. I would stay again in season, but room did not have A/C and was warm one night.

It was unacceptable. Massive construction right outside the door. Started at 7 am. Couldn’t park near hotel even to unload. Room up 2 staircases, narrow twisting stairs. One of us 81 years old! We had to leave. I will be contacting Expedia for compensation. Totally unacceptable!

Booked two nights at this appart hotel. We booked for three people however when we got there the accommodation was only for two people. The third person had to sleep on a “Canapé” which was totally inadequate for sleeping. You normally expect at least a sofa bed. The hotel also provided us with only one pod for the coffee machine making you ask why do they bother at all. I would go somewhere else next time.

Un hotel que je recommande !!!

Très bon accueil. Nous avons été accueilli très chaleureusement à notre arrivée. La chambre était suffisamment spacieuse pour nous deux. La salle de bains est tres bien équipée. Le petit-déjeuner tout en restant simple est très "français" ! Mais il reste efficace ! Rien à dire ! Ce que je tiens surtout à préciser c'est que malgré une façade l'hôtel ancienne tout est joliment décoré et rénové à l'intérieur et surtout d'une propreté impeccable ! Jai rarement vu une salle de bain aussi clean ! Bravo à vos équipes ! Nous ne manquerons pas de vous recommander !
