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.

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

Nice old hotel in a good location
Very traditional older hotel in a good location.
Small room which was very warm with not much floor space at all didn’t make for great comfort or much sleep.
Owner very friendly and good breakfast

Beautiful riverside views.
Great location, right on the river, and plenty of parking available, and within easy walking distance of the town centre. The owner and staff were polite and helpful.

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.

My boyfriend and I stayed just for one night but it was really nice, to start the staff was very friendly. The room was just perfect for one night, small but clean and cozy. I totally recommend it.

Welcoming and fantastic food!
Wonderful welcome. The member of staff was brilliant- respectful of me trying to use French. Room was spacious with lovely river views. Small balcony. Fan provided welcome relief from the heat. Bathroom perfectly good.
The star of the show was the wonderful meal. A limited choice on a set menu but each course was cooked to perfection. Staff (same one) continued to be helpful and friendly.
Location was also good. Short walk past the church to bars/restaurants/shops - however would definitely recommend eating at the hotel.

Lovely boutique hotel facing the river
I had a super room overlooking the river. The hotel is a short walk from shops and restaurants. The staff were very helpful and very pleasant.
