Breakfast was very nice; I recommend that future guests do have the 7.5 euro breakfast.

Cons: Drunken guests screaming in restaurant, foyer & rooms went unchecked by staff. No sound insulation - you can hear guests in room above going to the toilet! We got up & left at 4.00 am. Staff ignored noise and were disinterested in our complaint. Room was utterly basic, grubby and the bed uncomfortable. We paid £75 for the night (breakfast not included) & £11 for 1 beer & 1 small wine

Pros: easy to find, good room

Cons: The resturant staff were very unprofessional ,rude and did not make myself or my 7 guest very welcome, we arrived at about 2000 hours and it became obvious that the resturant staff didn't want to work any later!

Pros: It was a modest hotel with friendly and helpful staff, parking was easy and it was not too far from the centre

Cons: The building was a bit noisy

Pros: We used it as an over night stop but it would be perfect for a longer stay visiting the Tours and the Loire area. It is a little gem - a bit 70's decor but 'retro' is cool, no? A very friendly, helpful proprietor giving a warm welcome. Generous comfortable sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Free wifi internet. Located in a quiet area and free parking. We walked to the old centre of Tours - about 30 minutes brisk walk which may be too much for those less fit. So just use your car and park in a car park. All in all a pleasant place to stay and everything that a modern chain hotel is not.
