Breakfast is very good considering the facilities. Parking is cheaper and better in the public parking lot right above the hotel.

Well located in the centre of Chinon with some rooms overlooking the lovely square. Hotel is in an old building but sympathetically modernised with a lovely patio area at the rear. Warm and efficient welcome from reception staff and our room was spotlessly clean with a good size new shower room. Very quiet at night and a good nights rest on a comfy bed. Happily stay here again. (Free parking is available within easy walking distance - we used the car park at PL Jeanne d’Arc)

What a magnificent Hotel. We have stayed there before but under the previous Ownership. The upgrading has improved an ancient Hotel. It was delightful, the Staff were kind and keen to show us some of the history surrounding the Building. The breakfast was superb. We will be going to the Hotel de France in Chinon again. Best Western have excelled themselves

Everything was perfect the location, the staff, the room and even the shower. The front door was on the village square. This is what you picture a French village to look like with a fountain and outdoor cafes. The room was spacious for European standards.

A fantastic stay in this lovely hotel in a great central location in Chinon, which was one of our favourite stops on our Loire Valley trip. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great roof terrace bar. Would recommend reserving a car parking space.

A great hotel in a great location in Chinon. I was unexpectedly on crutches when we arrived but the staff found me a room on the 1st floor which i managed to navigate to. The staff helped us with luggage on arrival and departure which was much appreciated. We had expected a garage space which didn't pan out but it turned out to be no problem as we found a spot in the parking under the tunnel. The patio area in the hotel was very pleasant to sit and relax in. Breakfast was really nice with lots of choices. Sophie and the rest of the staff were just great. Rooms were on the small side but the hotel was adorable. Thank you!

Beautiful hotel, lovely room with a view of the square, great central location, easy walking distance to the fortress, surrounded by restaurants, staff were very very helpful. The only downside is that there is no elevator, but the staff were happy to help with suitcases. If arriving by train, be sure to book a taxi through the hotel WELL in advance to meet you there, as there are no taxis waiting at the station and there are no Ubers in the entire region.

The hotel was a good size and well situated in the town. We were, however, on the third floor with no lift and I (and many others that I saw) struggled to get our cases up the spiral staircase. The room was fine, but nothing special. There was what looked like a nice patio area outside on the first floor which we didn’t get the opportunity to use. Breakfast had a varied choice, but the room had been decorated with a very modern feel which didn’t really seem to fit with the rest of the hotel. All in all an OK hotel, but nothing to get too excited about.
