Clean, functional and well located
Reviewed By AllyfromEnglandThe hotel is your basic Ibis hotel, the room was a decent size with a coach that doubles as a pull out bed. Very comfortable and clean. Shower over the bath with good water pressure (I have thick long hair so it's important that I can actually wash and rinse it!) The room had a balcony and we paid for the view of the fortress (shame about the building works going on in front of the hotel). The hotel has a restaurant which is open for breakfast and dinner and measures have been put into place to meet the COVID-19 restrictions. The room next to us had a huge dog staying with them and who also joined them for breakfast. I didn't hear the dog, he was on their balcony and was peering over the wall at me! So the walls must be a little sound proof. The hotel had a covered pool,you need to ask the front desk for towels. I found the pool cold, but it is heated. Biggest issue was the parking, the spaces are extremely narrow. It is impossible to park next to another car and get my daughter out of her seat in the back of our car.

Excellent Hotel
Reviewed By S1204MCdianewThis is a lovely hotel that is run by a charming couple. We had a large room at the front of the building looking out at the River. It was very peaceful and beautiful. The room was spotlessly clean and very nice. Breakfast was delicious and a great way to start our busy days. It consisted of juices, bread basket, jams, butter, cereals, dried fruit, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, meats and cheese. We enjoyed a cappuccino every morning. We asked for wine to be brought up to our room on two evenings and it was promptly delivered. Excellent stay!

Depressing
Reviewed By fleetoffootThis hotel is very tired, rooms were depressing. On arriving some of our rooms were still being painted or rewired. Nothing like a room with wet paint! We stayed as a group, so I had the opportunity to see several of the rooms and they were all equally dismal.

Comfortable but noisy first thing in a room without Wi-Fi
Reviewed By MikeyG53Our France 2019 trip rolled on to Chinon. After the blistering heat of Blois and then particularly again in Amboise, our journey was much more pleasant with temperatures a little over 20°C (that was nearly a 25°C drop in temperature in about 8 hours. The journey down from Amboise to Chinon which sits on La Vienne, a tributary to the mighty Loire, was not too difficult and took, at what was a gentle pace, a couple of hours. On arrival at about 13:45 we easily found the hotel and drove straight into the private secured car-park. Being a tad early to check-in we went to hotel’s bar which is a popular spot for locals, to have at least a coffee or a cold drink. We were lucky because the lady at the bar managed to get the kitchen to produce a cold snack which we found most welcome, together with a glass each of good local wine. Our room was tiny and to say that the combined bathroom/WC was compact would be a significant understatement. The entrance to the shower was not very wide and up a large step which made getting out a bit precarious. No grab handles were fitted and you really need to be careful not to slip: as a sudden descent would be painful with a sink and WC in close proximity. The shower however was great – really nice flow of good hot water. The bright mosaic tiling was probably best seen with eyes not affected by any hangover from the night before! A plumbed-in hairdryer with handy mirror over the (chipped and cracked) sink was provided and worked well. The toilet roll dispenser was of industrial size. The room furnishings and facilities included bedside tables, a small disk, with a lamp and a tiny uncomfortable stool, a shelving unit, a door-less wardrobe unit, a luggage stand, a mirror, an electric convector heater, a flat-screen TV with remote, a floor-standing electric fan, a selection of brochures and leaflets about local attractions and two 3ft beds (properly) linked together. The bed was too close to the desk to pass without shuffling sideways. The bed was a tad hard for my partner, but I found it OK but the pillows were particularly skinny. Decorations in the room were clean and reasonable but the up and around the stairs they needed attention. Breakfast was fairly good – all the usual stuff (very good croissant but no ‘special’ artisan breads that we have had elsewhere, and no cold meats either). Unless you eat heartedly you’re not going to get your 9€ worth. We ate lightly and just went with the flow and the comfort but some people like to get value. The breakfast room is pleasant being light, airy and clean. This hotel was selected because of its good comfort rating and its reasonable proximity to the Centre Ville (a 15-minute stroll). The SNCF train station sits opposite but trains seemed to be rare apart from early on the first morning. This raises my major gripe: because a diesel locomotive arrived at something past 6 o’clock. It sat there with its engine running for a good half hour, thus ensuring that I was fully wide-awake by the time it moved-on. Really!! My second gripe is that we booked this hotel very nearly a year ago and we must have been one of their earliest bookings for the night of our stay. So, pray tell me, why we were in the attic, up two flights of winding narrow stairs (43 in all)? One of the four first floor rooms was required and expected. My last gripe was that there was no Wi-Fi availability in our room. The station was visible in my Wi-Fi list (and at a good strength) but it would just not connect. We had to go down to the bar and drink wine just to get the internet! Life’s a b****. Other than these issues the staff were great and the breakfast was more than adequate. As our stay progressed we grew more to like this hotel and my major gripe about the noise of the trains is outside of their control.
6. Hotel Diderot
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1026 reviews
Ideally situated in the heart of old Chinon, nestled in the quiet and historic neighborhood of the Saint Mexme collegiate church, Hotel Diderot welcomes you into a 15th century limestone mansion, restructured in the 17th and 19th centuries. Hotel Diderot is famous for its marvelous breakfasts, offering a dizzying selection of homemade jams, delicious French breads, brioche and croissants, locally produced fresh goat cheese, honey and fruit juice. Close to the fireplace in autumn, or on the shaded terrace as soon as the warm weather arrives, the first meal of the day must be as unforgettable as the night that preceded it. Gluten-free breakfast available on request. Here you will find peace and tranquility ; you will experience the warm hospitality of a " tourangelle " residence, in the land of Renaissance writer Francois Rabelais, amidst the splendid vineyards of the Val de Loire, the landscape dotted with magnificent castles and unique gardens.
First stop on our family vacation
Reviewed By AMF3448Hotel Diderot was our first stop on our recent vacation to France. We enjoyed it very much. The hotel is a unique and beautiful property. The hosts were very responsive in helping with plans - renting bikes, recommending restaurants, serving meals. The town of Chinon is so charming! But as with many smaller towns many shops/restaurants are closed early week. We planned around it just fine and would love to return!

Fantastic Hotel for Our Cycling Group
Reviewed By joannefr33This charming yet modern small hotel was perfect for our group of 14 cyclists. The garden area was lovely and peaceful for relaxing after our rides. There was a good place to store our bikes. Mathieu, his wife and staff were very helpful and accommodating to all our needs. We had 3 delicious group dinners prepared by him - eating outside and the breakfasts were great. Highly recommended!
8. Au Relais Saint Maurice
Overall Ratings
5 based on 202 reviews
Old house of the 15th century, in the eve town of Chinon, Rue Haute Saint Maurice, house with an interior courtyard with view on the castle of Chinon. The house is composed of a large living room to relax, read or play the board games, from a courtyard to a quiet fountain to have breakfast. Since the Middle Ages, the nobles and royal officers have built large stone houses down below the fortress. The mansions of the 15th century are distinguished by their L-shaped plan around a courtyard opening on the street, their spiral staircase housed in a projecting turret at the corner of the buildings. In the 16th century, the medieval private mansions are remodeled to the taste of the Renaissance: the staircases are encompassed inside the buildings, while the corbelled towers appear on the facades . The window frames and dormer windows are decorated with pilasters and pediments. It is still in the high street, towards the west (rue Voltaire or Haute Saint-Maurice) that we find the most beautiful examples: Maîtrise des Eaux et Forêts, hotel Bodard de la Jacopière, hotel Poirier de Beauvais ... In the 17th -18th centuries, the mansions built are remarkable by the enlargement of the windows, the appearance of balconies in wrought iron, the great staircases of honor: hotel of the Governor, hotel Torterue of Langardière ...
Our favorite inn of the trip
Reviewed By LojesljWe stayed 2 nights of a 14 day trip with Maurice. We all voted this our favorite location hands down and decided Maurice's B&B is now our new gold standard. The location in town, and the architecture of the building (rooms all off a central spiral staircase) is prefect. Maurice is a gracious, enthusiastic, and friendly host who obviously has his patrons best interests at heart. There were many little touches in the rooms and common rooms that made our stay extra special. The chambre de Jeanne was truly special, with an extended bathroom that made me feel like a queen for a few days.

This is a little oasis in an industrial area of Chinon
Reviewed By AvrilO159We were so pleased with stay at the Sans Souci, the area was a bit of a surprise as it is in a commercial area, however do not let that put you off!! The staff were lovely the rooms clean and very comfortable indeed, the bonus is the lovely garden area which is privately fenced off and is landscaped beautifully. They were also very pet friendly indeed. It is a little out of the main town centre but not to far from the castle. Our only disappointment was that we were only stopping one night passing through to Portugal would have liked to have stayed longer.

Convenient, Good Hotel
Reviewed By Max BNear Chinon, but out of town and out of congestion. Very friendly owner, good - not great - food, but priced accordingly. Rooms fine, but ground floor rooms are handicap-accessible. We were visiting Abbey Fontevrault, so this worked very well.
