Plussat: Very good breakfast. Night clerk was very helpful as we arrived very, very late and she helped us enter the garage, find a parking spot, get our stuff into the elevator and get into the room. Wish I knew her name.

Miinukset: Found the name of the hotel confusing, it is the Mercure on the signage and staff told us it was changed a couple of years ago--we missed it the first time because we didn't see the secondary name on the sign--we were looking for the Loire Hotel.

We saw the good secure parking but made use of the excellent bicycle storage facilities. Thoroughly recommended.

Plussat: Erittäin ystävällinen palvelu vastaanotossa. Huone oli juuri remontoitu ja sisustettu viihtyisästi. Ei kokolattiamattoja ja kylpyhuoneessa kaakelit. Aamupala keskivertoa monipuolisempi. Sijainti vanhankaupungin reunalla myös ok. Paras 2 tähden hotelli

Miinukset:

Plussat: Hotel staff very friendly. Good choice for breakfast

Miinukset: Room previously occupied by a smoker...it's less of a big deal in France than England but it did bother me. I don't like to go out smelling like an old ash tray. Didn't complain as I was late booking...a sparay solved the problem.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast room. Everything very clean and well maintained.

Miinukset:

Plussat: The room was quite small but very comfortable and furnished to a high standard.

Miinukset: One parking spot in the hotel garage was raised at the far end with no warning. My husband reversed the car off the back of this ledge and grounded the car. A warning would have been very useful.

Plussat: It was like staying in your own Chateau amazing.We were very lucky to be given a upgrade but all the rooms looked amazing 5 stars plus.The owners go out of there way to make your stay so very special.

Plussat: this chateau was beautifully maintained and the owners were professional and most helpful..delightful stay

Miinukset: No.

Plussat: The Chateau is absolutely beautiful. The owners, family & all staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The only thing which we found a little strange was that you couldn't lock your room. Although the chateau itself was secure.

Plussat: Comfortable for a three night stay and very convenient to explore the Loire district. Excellent helpful staff and great restaurant convenient for dinner.

Plussat: The bed was comfortable.

Miinukset: We booked because it was supposed to have a good restaurant, but upon arrival we were told that the restaurant was closed on Sunday and were given no useful help in finding an alternative. It was too far to walk to town and, having driven there, we found that most restaurants were closed.

Plussat: The staff were very considerate when I got sick and needed some quiet recuperation time. The hotel chef/manager went out of his way to make the 4 of us feel very welcome, even during the daytime when we needed a quietspot outside to eat our lunch.Free parking onsite.

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset:

Plussat: helpful and friendly staff

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Restaurant was good and owners were very helpful

Miinukset:

Plussat: Hotel location

Miinukset: We initialy ask for 2nd floor room- not given no maps of saumur in the hotel except on the wall we ate continantal breakfast and were charged for a buffet one

Plussat: Friendly staff and good value for money

Miinukset:

Plussat: The location was just what we wanted. The type of accommodation and facilities suited all our needs. Food was excellent .An overall superb stay in a beautiful part of France.

Miinukset: I dont know if it was the mattress or the base but we rolled into the centre of the bed. I feel this needs to be looked at asap. Otherwise room was excellent.

Plussat: Staff were very helpful and freindly, Rooms were well set out and comfortable

Miinukset: We chose the hotel bcause it was a logis with three chimneys and were very disappointed. Lovely views from the terrace but the room was small, you had to be a contortionist to get in the loo and the shower was old and manky. The service in the restaurant was dreadful and the meal and room were overpriced. Our complaints about the restaurant were not passed on to reception, and we were dealt with very badly at reception the following morning. Breakfast itself was poor and the room similar to a cafeteria.It is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in 25 years holidaying in France and we will not return.

Plussat: We enjoyed the food in the restaurant, walking round a beautiful area and resting on route south

Plussat: Friendly and helpful staff. Small rooms but quite comfortable. Excellent food and sommelier.

Plussat: Tilava perhehuone kahdessa tasossa. keittonurkkaus ja terassi. Uima-allas ja harrastemahdollisuuksia.

Miinukset: Terassi hieman likainen. Hankala löytää ilman navigaattoria. Etäällä kaupoista ja keskustasta.

Plussat: Excellent room - we had bath with jacuzzi, lounge area, bedroom and a separate room for our daughter all in one suite. Hotel has pleasant views over Saumur and Loire valley which can be enjoyed from the restaurant that serves excellent food.

Miinukset: Dinner was lovely, but quite expensive. Had a bit of trouble finding the place.

Plussat: Execellent Restuarant food outstanding.

Miinukset: No Hotel Parking but not a problem

Plussat: The hotel was centrally placed for Saumur and had public (free) car parking overnight outside the door.

Miinukset: Misinformation about a non existent exhibition the next morning which meant that I had to move my car on the evening of arrival rather than leave it outside the hotel to a slightly further away car park. Also, bedding from the previous occupants was left lying in one of the chests of drawers in the room and had not been removed after cleaning that morning.

Plussat: I found the bed very uncomfortable as it was too soft and too low. This meant that it caused back ache and was difficult to get out of.

Miinukset: There was no reception room in which to sit and wait for friends or transport.

Plussat: The location was the best part together with the excellent restaurant, the set meal was very good indeed.

Miinukset: The lack of a lift could be difficult for people with poor mobility. Generally we found that all breakfasts during our week's stay in France were rather expensive compared with the cost and quality of the evening meals

Plussat: The view from our bedroom was lovely - overlooking La loire and two of its bridges, but we already knew that from previous visits.

Miinukset: Upon booking back in February I did ask for room 20 on the first floor. When we arrived we were put into room 26 in the annexe on the 2nd floor with 42 steps on a very winding staircase. We had this room last time and that is the reason we did not want it. The room itself, once we were in, had a lovely view of La Loire but we were very disappointed to be given number 26. Although my husband and I are pretty fit (77 and 72) the 42 steps each time up to the room were a struggle, especially carrying luggage.

Plussat: Pleasant family run hotel with charming staff and a good restaurant. Hotel was a little old fashioned but clean tidy and had character.

Miinukset: No lift

Plussat: The location by the riverbank and centre and in the shadow of the Chateau was impressive and easy access to the train station 1.7 km walk just across the bridges. Also that the hotel had a restaurant and bar

Miinukset: Lack of wardrobe or clothes hanging facilities

Plussat: breakfast was good but very short on staff -- we had to ask every morning for more sugar --- we werent the only ones . T he location is excellent --- bistro appeared also to be very good

Miinukset: felt that the brochure over glamourised the picture of bedrooms --- our " double " bedroom was only in fact a four foot bed . there was no shade on the bedside lamp and the lighting was very poor

Plussat:

Miinukset: Would like more storage, coat hooks, ledge in bathroom

Plussat:

Miinukset: Ceiling in bathroom too low - unable to stand upright 6! 2" tall.

Plussat: 1minites de la gare. it is very convinient for the touriste by train.The room is very simple ,but enough. en plus there is bathtab, ca me plait beaucoup.

Plussat: The owner was very friendly. The secure parking for our motorcycle was very welcome.

Miinukset: The hotel is a 15 minute walk across 2 bridges and an island to reach the city (we walk quite quickly)! The pillow was so hard I couldn't use it as it was like sleeping on a log.

Plussat: Very clean hotel, lovely staff, and a very short walk into the town without the expensive prices. Staff were always ready to help. The closeness to the train station was great, and any noise was blocked by the double soundproofed windows.

Plussat: Friendly welcome, clean rooms, secure parking.

Miinukset: Further than expected from the city, some noise from the railway running next to hotel.

Plussat: Ok isolation against street noise. Bathroom no luxury, but ok standard. Nice parking area. Approx 10 min. walk to town center.

Miinukset: No airconditioning. Room with windows towards the street resulted in a warm night! Hard bed.

Plussat: Friendly and accommodating staff, comfortable room, off-road parking, good breakfast

Miinukset:

Plussat: This booking was made by me for my parents as they travelled through France and they said the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.

Miinukset:
