Best Western Hotel de France

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

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!

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.

We arrived on a hot and humid evening and we’re grateful for AC! The staff were welcoming, the rooms were super clean and comfortable, and the property was in good repair. The breakfast room is updated and lovely, with a broad selection of breakfast foods.
