Best Western Hôtel 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 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!

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.

Everything was perfect the location, the staff, the room and even the shower. The front door was on the village square. This is what you picture a French village to look like with a fountain and outdoor cafes. The room was spacious for European standards.

Stayed for two nights with wife and teenage son, highly recommend this hotel based on our experience. Very centrally located, pleasant and warm staff, good breakfast choice and comfort. Rooms were good standard and well kept. The hotel doesn't have a bar but it does have a drink supply and you can take your drinks to the open air balcony, with a covered area adjacent which is a good way to wind down the evening.

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.

The hotel was amazing! The view from the hotel was great. I was traveling with my friends and we searched up hotel near us and this was it. Best decision of our life. Views amazing and the rooms are beautiful. Food is also amazing

Lovely setting in the centre of Chinon located in the central square amongst shops, cafes, and restaurants in this quaint and typical rural french town. Very helpful staff and comfortable if a little tired around the edges. It would be sad if it was updated too much as it would lose it's charm but could do with facilities updated a bit, there was 3 of us there for a weekend wedding and it was a little cramped. Didn't eat at the hotel so I don't know what the food was like, however we had a little kitchen area where we could prepare breakfast and surrounded by cafes and a beautiful location we didn't spent much time there. Having said that the staff and in fact the locals couldn't have been nicer and would definitely recommend if you're staying for a few days to tour the area. Lovely river and castle to explore as well as wonderful scenery.
