I loved this boutique-like hotel so much. It is in the old town and everything you need is nearby (make sure to make a reservation if you go to eat!). The staff is friendly, and the room was more than lovely. I think we got a suite, which was a little expensive, but we just walked in and asked for... More

We last used this hotel 9 years ago, having been regular visitors and we were looking forward to our return. The hotel's situation in the centre of Chinon with great views of the Castle are excellent, but whilst our room and view were fine, the long haul up three flights of stairs was not as easy as it once was,...

Right in the market square which is full of tables and surrounded by bar and restaurants. A delightful location to experience France Loire valley town. Not noisy, but a fun place. Loads to see locally including castle close to hotel. Public car parking next to hotel, no need to pay for hotel car park.We had an apartment which is next... More

Exactly in the center of the village, very nice and cosy rooms, friendly personnel, very nice restorant next to the hotel. More

We had a nice stay for 3 days in July 2011. The hotel overlooks the main square in Chinon, so ideally located for bars and restaurants. The room was very clean and not at all expensive. We were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived, and breakfast was very good. The staff at this hotel are friendly... More

Situated on small but charming public square. Just a short walk to the elevator that whisks you up to the Chateau. Room was typically small, but very clean with updated bathrooms. Bed was very comfortable. Shutters opened out to a view of the diners on the square below. Very friendly staff. Parking garage is cramped with some amazingly tight spaces.... More

We stayed 1 night.The room was very clean, compact but comfortable. The only down side as previously reparted was the noise from the square there is a market on Sunday morning in the square so not much sleep! More

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in late August ‘09. The BW Hotel de France is cute as a button, and oozes charm. It is situated right on the picturesque main square of Chinon, at the foot of the Chateau ruins. With one proviso (see below) it is a great value and we highly recommend it. Our... More
