Logis Hôtel le Médicis

RESTAURANT : absolutely amazing. The food very refined, absolutely an experience to live. Just by looking at the menu you can see it's only fresh products. With my husband we liked it so much we had the entrée twice, before main dish and the desert. The service very professional and kind. The place on the outside doesn't look anything special, but don't let it fool you, it not reflect what is inside. Bravo for the chef! Highly recommended !!!

I have to highly recommend this restaurant. Absolutely delicious and well portioned courses. Service was exceptional, our waiter was very knowledgeable and his service was effortless and friendly. Unpretentious, cozy place. I will definitely have to go back to France to eat here again. ||||We also stayed in a room upstairs. Our room was nice and clean, not too big but that was fine for us. ||||Such a memorable experience!

As far as the hotel goes, it is a nice, small, clean hotel that you can stay in. Sadly, it is a bit out of the centre of town, but a 10-min walk gets you to all the main places to see, so it isn't too bad. Rooms apparently are soundproof, and I can vouch that it was nice and quiet in our room. The bathtub jacuzzi was nice to relax our muscles after long days of cycling. I will say that the staff is exceptional, always friendly & helpful, and they spoke English really well (so sad that I stumbled through very basic French). ||||Now to the main attraction: the restaurant. Never in a million years would I have guessed this non-descript hotel/restaurant would be among the best gastronomic experiences of any of my visits in France!!!! We had a nice table by the window and were promptly given a book of a wine list. So beautiful! (OK, I am a bit of a wine fanatic!). The most beautiful part of the list is the long list of local Loire Valley wines. And a very knowledgable sommelier/maitre'd who was eager to help with some suggestions based on our preferences for wine.||||Each course was elegantly served. My husband, who is not really sentimental about food, actually said that he wished he could take a picture of his dish as it was a masterpiece (just looking at it!). And we both delved in to our foods....lamb for my husband and a fish dish for me. Both caused us to halt conversation and just enjoy the sensation of flavours in our mouths. The cheese plate was beautiful as well, and dessert was an experience--a chocolate hazlenut cake that was unbelievable. I sadly couldn't finish it all as I was so full...wish I would have asked for the rest of it to go!!! Prices were so reasonable, especially for what you got.||||Go, stay and eat!!!

Not in centre ville, but an excellent location on the west side of the town, this hotel has comfortable rooms, an excellent breakfast, and a wonderful restaurant downstairs. The minor negative is no elevator, so we always ask for a room on the first floor. The rooms are quiet and well equipped. This is the third time we've stayed here.

we stayed here for one night on our way down to the south of france, we had dinner in the restaurant which was really nice then stayed upstairs. the room was a good size including a nice sized bath and great bath products, breakfast was plentiful but for the money we paid i would expect a little more. i think if you have a big dinner in the restaurant its nice to stay upstairs but as a hotel of its own its not that great....

We were met at reception by a friendly hostess who spoke perfect English and was very helpful. We had a room on level 1 which was small but cozy and perfect for what we needed. No lift so you need to carry bags upstairs. ||Beds are harder than I would have liked but we still slept easily. Bathroom very clean. Room cleaned daily. ||10min walk to chateau de Blois, close to pharmacy and above the most devine restaurant which also offers room service!! We had a rental car so chateau Chambord was maybe 40mins away and same again for Chenonceau. ||Loved this place and would stay here again without hesitation.

We stayed here and had an attic room. It was cozy but a bit dated--had the feel of a B&B. It was very easy to overlook the quarters because the hotel is run by a chef who also runs the kitchen and who produces stellar food. Absolutely suberb. A five star restaurant.

The Hotel Medicis is different ! Its not in the posh part of town,but its not in the dumps as some reviewers might want you to think. A ten minute walk for my wife and I [we are over 70] and you are at the Chateau in the old town. The Old Town is glorious, shops , buildings, the riverside,the centre of Blois is great. The hotel itself is a logis, it does not pretend to be anything else. The restaurent however is Michelin * class and the best Logis restaurent we have ever eaten in and we have eaten in dozens over the years, The family and their staff are a joy and cannot do enough for you. If you are going to the Loire to sight see, you can't do better than eat at the Medecis.
