Chartres Homestays

Have stayed in many budget hotels but found the rooms here really the smallest, the shower was exceptionally small. Generally clean but very tired. The walls were paper thin could hear the conversation clearly next door, they were not shouting. We found the beds hard I suffer from a bad back so if you do and cannot take hard beds be warned. I got no sleep! Some Pillows shabby and worn could do with replacing. Even my husband found the bed a problem in this hotel he usually never complains. The radiator heating was good it was an extremely cold night. But early in the evening the bathroom water was not really warm but was better much later. On arriving the receptionist was very friendly and I asked for an extra pillow which arrived within minutes. Breakfast did not bear any resemblance to pictures shown on some sites... In fact at first I was saw very little but having said that the lady in charge again very friendly quickly brought some stuff out and replenished. Cheese, ham and butter kept in a small fridge and the bread and cakes were very fresh. A Basic french hotel breakfast. Finding the hotel....well the Sat Nav likes to take the long way around and it is confusing at first. A case of remembering as you go around the back it is to the left of Courtpaille restaurant hidden between buildings or one ends up back on main road which is a dual carriageway. We would not stay here again.

The hotel generally well located in the center next to the train station. That is convenient in order to walk to nearby attractions, but the hotel has no car parking so that guests are being directed to public overnight parking in the city center, which is anything but inexpensive. The hotel as such is perfectly acceptable with renovated rooms. We had a junior suite for two adults and one daughter, but when we arrived in the evening we first had to find someone to arrange for a bed for our daughter as the room was set up only for two. Walls are rather thin here so you have little insulation and can hear others well in neighboring rooms. That was not a problem for us as the hotel wasn't full and we stayed there for just one night, but perhaps is less ideal if you stay longer. There is typically only one staff member on duty, so service is not the greatest. We asked for directions to a nearby restaurant but the attendant didn't even know the place that was recommended throughout in all relevant directories, on Tripadvisor, etc. Breakfast is fully self-service, including as to coffee with very basic prefabricated products, nothing special. What completely marred our experience is the fact that we had reserved and pre-paid our junior suite with breakfast included, yet at checkout were charged again separately for breakfast. That is perhaps a mistake that can happen, but was is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE is the fact that the hotel when dark when we contacted them subsequently after having left and realized the additional charge. Not a single response to this date even after multiple messages/emails sent asking for correction of the mistake. Such behavior is completely unprofessional and not to be excused. Hence, we would recommend to stay away from this place and go elsewhere.

Decent hotel. Good location. Good cleaning.

I have a disablement and the hotel staff were so very kind. Also you have a small charge topark in thetiny hotel car park, but we did this and the room which had a wonderful bathroom nextto a large room.It was attractive. The receptionist was very kind. We were close to the centre of Chartres only 5-10 minutes to the pilgrimage at the Cathedral and charming town. There is a cosy lounge to sit in and the breakfast even offered Bacon and Egg as well as a charming waiter who couldn't do enough.There was a huge buffet of French breakfast items and various fruits. We were very well treated. The bathroom was quite luxurious with a chair for a disabled person to have a shower. The little town centre was charming.We would definitely stay here again!

We were travelling back to England and this hotel was perfectly placed. The staff are friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and the shower was excellent. The bed was a little firm for me but suited my husband. There were plenty of good quality pillows. The breakfast buffet was good. We would stay here again.
