Blois hotellia

Plussat: The property was nicely laid out and very clean. The decor was modern with a gothic twist.

Plussat: Great and easy! Close to the center! Got help to book 17 pers restaurant and the breakfast fresh!

Plussat: It is a lovely old house, which is in a very good condition and well renovated.

Miinukset: The host was disappointing. He just gave us the keys without any other further information (not even the pin code for the entrance door). The only question was if we wanted to have breakfast. We booked a room with a city view and instead get one with a view on the ugly inner court. After mentioning this to the host, he offered us to change rooms the next day (which we didn’t do, as we stayed just for two nights) and he promised us a “geste commercial”, which he unfortunately didn’t do. This was disappointing. In general, the room was nice, but not soundproof. We could hear everything (people urinating etc.) which was very disturbing, not to mention waking up because somebody was just walking around.

Plussat: Such great value for money. The room was spacious, clean with good interior design. Location was also great. Thomas was very nice as well. Feels very homey. Couldn’t have asked for more! Highly recommend for anyone who is in the area!

Miinukset: Nothing at all. Everything was great!

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Room was not ready--beds were not made; there were no towels in the room. To our surprise, our room was a 4th floor walk up with a very narrow winding stairway that would be inaccessible to many people. There was no one to help carry luggage. There was no front desk and the one staff person, when you could find him, was curt at best in contrast to staff at all of the other places that we stayed. Finally, the dormers meant that one had to be careful where they stood up in the bathroom so you would not bang your head.

Plussat: Good location with large comfortable bedroom

Miinukset: Hosts welcomed us with the minimum of attention and service. Breakfast is of good quality but portioned.

Plussat: Easy and save parking. The staff was very helpfull

Plussat: Correct, abondant

Plussat: Location was OK, on the outskirts of Blois, a bit noisy but would've been very convenient if I had been travelling on autoroutes. Hotel was typical French modern economy hotel, basic but very efficient and clean and the First Inn is very new (2019).

Plussat: Good value for the money. A little far from city centre if walking. Great pattesserie around the corner.

Miinukset: Ok for a one night stay.

Plussat: Breakfast very simple, plenty of choices as much as you wanted.

Miinukset: The weather

Plussat: Easy parking in the street and a garage nearby. Clean en friendly. Good location - accessible by car and close to center.

Miinukset: We received a 4-persons bedroom and our bed was not very large.

Plussat: Comfortable hotel, friendly and helpful staff. Good buffet breakfast . No lift. Parking on street outside the hotel, free overnight. Across the road from railway station, walking distance into city centre and restaurants. Good location for doing the Loire Valley chateaus from.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Close to train station. Room was pleasant.

Miinukset: Stairs - if we'd had much luggage it might have been an issue.

Plussat: Great location, close to the Chateaux and near town center. Clean and spacious room.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Front desk was helpful. Bed was comfortable. Convenient, free parking.

Miinukset: No coffee maker in room. Hair dryer functioned poorly.

Plussat: Loved the food, which is why we stayed and we were not disappointed. One dish ranked as one of my all time favourites. The decor of the restaurant was lovely too. The staff were very friendly and did a lot to accommodate our needs.

Miinukset: The rooms looked a little dated and could have been dusted better. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable, and provided what we needed.

Plussat: A very nice dinner with courteous service - thank you!

Plussat: Sleep quality was great, as well as food.

Plussat: Welcoming staff and a very good restaurant

Plussat: Location was good near the center.

Miinukset: There is no explanation of how park so it took a while from us to park a car in the different location. When we came to the room it was evening, the only staff in the hotel was a barmen who was a receptionist as well. Very nice lady. There were no amenity in the bathroom at all, except shower gel in the shower cabin the one that you cant removed. WE couldn't even wash our hands, no water in the room. When I asked front desk for the soap iIwas told that it is no late and no soap is available. Definitely not a 4 stars hotel.

Plussat: Breakfast and welcome

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were very helpful and the pool was heated and open from 9 to 9. The breakfast was great. Best eggs for ages in a hotel. Arcade games for Kids and wifi very very good.

Miinukset: Restaurant buffet not open on weekend. We ordered in online. All fine on the end.

Plussat: Very clean Good breakfast

Plussat: Customer orientation of the staff

Plussat: Nice location, breakfast was good

Miinukset: Bathroom smelt of cigarettes!?

Plussat: Room was fine as usual in Novotel

Miinukset: There was no restaurant so had to go looking for one, only offering at hotel was pizza

Plussat: Nice location. Nice pool.

Plussat: The location near the motorway entrance

Miinukset: The restaurant is closed Friday night,Saturday night and Sunday night,though this fact is not mentioned on the sign on the road

Plussat: Rooms basic but adequate. Handicap facilities excellent. Food is first class Service also. All staff are excellent. They care.

Plussat: Nice dinner on the premises

Miinukset: Difficult to get there as the name of the street (leading to confusion) wasn't recognised by our GPS

Plussat: The owner, smiling and affidable. Good price-quality standard

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was an outstanding value with wonderful selections. We would stay again

Plussat: The friendly personnel

Miinukset: Some pieces of furniture and instalations were not in a good shape

Plussat: Hotel is part of a huge chain of hotels, similar to the travelodge. Arrived after reception was closed and a lady came to greet us. There is an automatic key machine for out of hours arrivals also. easy to find, good access to motorway.About 5 minutes from the town.

Miinukset: Room was clean if a little out of date, the bathroom was similar to those on the overnight ferries - basic. No a/c, and as we were on ground floor we couldn't leave window open. Ok for an overnight stoppover.

Plussat: Comfortable beds,small but adequate clean bathroom,sound proofed room.

Plussat: good clean budget hotel within easy travelling distance to the town centre

Plussat:

Miinukset: Mix up with Balladins hotels in Blois. Not clear at all

Plussat: No traffic noise. Price was reasonable, as it is a "modular" budget hotel.

Miinukset: Double room reeked of smoke - even the "clean" sheets.We requested both rooms as "non-smoking" but the double room definitely was a very polluted "smoking" room. Better signs are needed, as this hotel had the same signs as another "Balladins" hotel nearby., which was confusing for a foreign tourist.You cannot see the "Blois Nord Villebarou" markings on your hotel.

Plussat: Nothing at all, the hotel was dreadful. Blois, on the other hand is a lovely town and we will certainly visit again, only stopping at a different hotel

Miinukset: Did not like room with a flimsy (broken) plastic folding door screening the WC, (You certainly get to know travelling companions!) the staff (lone person), the fact that the reception closed at approx. 20:00, I could go on.

Plussat:

Miinukset: We cant find the address from gps. We have to make several rounds. And they finished at 18o'clock, when we arrived at the hotel at mid night, we have to manage all the things ourselves

Plussat: free parking, the location is easy to find by car, very quite

Miinukset: Bathrooms don't have a real door. In our bathroom there was also a problem with a tap (they knew the problem, but they give us that room alike). After complaining they changed our room and the problem was solved.

Plussat: the location

Miinukset: It was said that there were a parking when in fact in was a public parking "near" the hotel where you have to go pay every 2 hours...

Plussat: Very nice reception area. Great location.

Miinukset: Room is small, barely room for luggage.

Plussat: Great location and parking arrangement

Miinukset: Rooms whilst comfortable are quite tired (painting peeling in bathroom and age means difficult to appear clean)

Plussat: The hotel is situated in a very good place. it was clean, but what we didn't like was that it's too dark inside rooms (maybe only in the one that we got window was too small). Stuff was very helpful.

Miinukset: Too dark in the rooms

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti ja siisti hotelli.

Plussat: Hiljainen sisäpihan huone.

Miinukset: lämpimät ruuat aamupalalla puutuivat.

Plussat: Location is perfect, Comfort was as expexted.

Plussat: The breakfast was great. The location is very central and just a few minutes away from the Chateau Blois, which was worth a visit. The room was clean and tidy. Shower was wonderful.

Miinukset: The elevator takes only two persons at a time. The room was very small for a couple. We had trouble moving around. It took time to find a restaurant nearby as we walked in the wrong direction. It would have been helpful with a map when we asked the desk where we could find a place to eat...

Plussat: The breakfast was superb, easily better than the Holiday Inn I stayed in the next night. The fruit was fresh, well chosen, ripe and tasty. The range of meats and cheese to choose from was lovely. The staff were smiley and welcoming. The air conditioning was excellent - important on a day that reached 41C! The bed was really comfortable, as good as that in Le Relais Saint Michel two nights before, as well as the Mercur Mont Michel the previous night.

Miinukset: Finding the hotel was not easy, but that's because no roundabouts in Blois seem to say "Centre Ville" on them to create a sense of direction. However, it has a massive gate guarding the car park in front of the hotel but of course an underground private parking would be more secure. It would be nice to have some toast bread, not just baguettes and an hour extra for breakfast would help holidaymakers a lot.

Miinukset: At 8:00 AM in the morning they started to use a drill right next to our room and woke us up.

Plussat: Good location good parking nice room comfy bed relaxing

Miinukset: no resturant on the day we stayed

Plussat: The stay in the hotel was adequate with a good breakfast.

Plussat: Very nice staff, fresh and good food at the restaurant for dinner with some combinations at fixed price. Quite varied breakfast.

Miinukset: The bathroom looks a little bit old.

Plussat: Comfortable bed

Miinukset: In need of refurbishment, stuffy smell in the room, wouldn’t book again

Plussat: Staff extremely helpful. Good choice at breakfast. Comfortable bed.

Miinukset: Couple of places showing signs of wear. Couple of stains on carpets

Plussat: We arrived at the hotel and there was no secure parking and the hotel looked run down and shabby so we decided not to stay and booked into an Ibis

Plussat: The easy access to town.

Miinukset: The very grumpy man at reception !

Plussat: Well located hotel, near the train station and the historic center. Ascensor with restricted access (disabled people), but the use was allowed to carry luggage to the upper floors. Fantastic bakery just next to the hotel.

Miinukset: Bed was very hard. Could not get comfortable

Plussat: handy location across from la Gare and a short walk into town. the boulangerie on the corner just ouside the door was very handy for breakfast. Street parking was easy to find and free from 1800h

Miinukset: Minor things not under control of the hotel such as the truck unloading crgo noisily under our window at 0530 h.

Plussat: Location Convenient. Room was ready at check in Staff was helpful

Miinukset: The room was extremely small due to sloped ceiling. The head of the bed was along the sloped wall. We banged our heads on the beams on that wall. Also made it difficult to sit up. The room was "ready" for check in but the baby cot from previous occupant was still set up and there were a couple of leaves on the floor indicating floor was not vacuumed beforehand. Shower was VERY SMALL and the floor extremely slippery. The size of the shower and positioning of rainhead caused water to spray outside of the enclosure. Finiky elevator. Also, elevator did not go up to the room we were given so not great fo 2 women lifting rolling duffles.

Plussat: Comfy bed. Good wifi

Miinukset: No fridge in the room. Poor lighting, especially in the bathroom. Had trouble locking our hotel room door.

Plussat: everything was perfect !!

Miinukset: if there was an elevator!!

Plussat: Friendly feel to the hotel

Miinukset: The cat in the reception area

Plussat: Family room was useful for us with 3 kids.

Miinukset: There is a restaurant under the hotel. There came the cooking smellings from the window of the room until late night.

Plussat: Staff were amazingly accommodating and the hotel restaurant and breakfast were great.

Miinukset: Room was dated.

Plussat: The woman at the front desk was great! So nice and accommodating, we felt very welcome!

Plussat: Its location deserves a mention here - if you are interested in taking trips to the surrounding castles (Chambord, Chaumont, etc), it is very well placed. Also, the staff is really welcoming and every day there are fresh towels provided; the price is also convenient.

Miinukset: The room (6) is really noisy (one could very well hear the announcements in the train station, starting, roughly, with 5 am until 11 pm) and its windows face the ventilation of the restaurant below. The walls of the room need to be freshened up (too many marks of the previous visitors).

Plussat: Comfortable one night stop over

Miinukset: A fair walk from centre

Plussat: Not so much, but did sleep

Miinukset: Rather expensive for a hotel in France, compared to the quality : very basic sleeping place, no more. Not really good advertisement for Ibis/Accor group

Plussat: Giant screen TV in room. Easy access good car park. Perfectly pleasant and comfortable but really was over-priced.

Miinukset: Breakfast was not included in the price unlike many other Ibis hotels we have stayed in. Breakfast bread was hard as a rock. No tea/coffee or kettle in room - but we anticipated what has become a bad habit in the hotel industry and brought our own.

Plussat: The bed was comfy and the area was fairly quiet. We ate in the restaurant and the staff were all pleasant and trying hard, Plenty of parking onsite.

Miinukset: There was no vegetarian option for a main in the onsite restaurant. The rooms were old and tired - I've stayed in much nicer Ibis hotels. Also no lift to get to the 1st floor.

Plussat: Safe parking

Miinukset: It was too far from the centre of Blois

Plussat: Good breakfast and nice staff

Miinukset: Rooms are rather small, some off the towels could be renewed

Plussat: Good location , calm area. Free parking. Good wi-fi and breakfast.

Plussat: The hotel has a great location, within walking distance of the majority of historic sites.

Plussat: The proximity to the Metro, Gare du Nord and Gare du L'Est was very good. It was a very quiet street with easy access to unload your baggage should you be travelling by car. Easy access to the supermarket and a food market. Also plenty of restaurants and a very good one next door.

Miinukset: Everything was very acceptable, so there was no complaints or dislikes that we had.

Plussat: Perhehuone oli ok 5 hengen perheelle. Sijainti hyvä ja pysäköintialue lähellä.

Miinukset: Vanha hotelli -> äänieristys ei paras mahdollinen. Naapurihuoneen keskustelut kuuluivat seinän läpi.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Cheap small rooms for overnight stay only

Plussat: I loved the location right in front of Château de Blois, the staff was super kind and helpful, very good breakfast, the room was very big and actually bigger than expected, the breakfast area and staff very nice as well. It has an elevator that was not tight and I would definitely recommend it and I’d love to come back there

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff and location excellent. Great value but would pay more for a more modern room.

Miinukset: A bit old. Bathroom needs a renovation.

Plussat: Very good location.

Miinukset: Standard of our double room was much lower than on photos. The bed linen was stained. The wallpaper peells off the walls. Bathroom very old fashioned, mould and cracking paint on woodden windows. You can hear any noise comming from the street or the closest rooms/bathrooms.

Plussat: Breakfast was fine. Staff were friendly

Miinukset: The room was awful, wallpaper peeling, mould in the bathroom, tiny and smelly. Windows rotten and wouldn't open and no extractor fan, Dinning room and entrance very grand but tatty and threadbare carpets everywhere else. Very noisy, not just the traffic outside but the walls were so thin you could here everything in the room next door including the toilet.
