We stumbled upon this place and I am so glad we did - the room was fantastic, the building is beautiful and full of medieval character. The rates are very reasonable for the standard of accommodation so I would definitely recommend it. Very helpful staff too.

I agree with everything the previous reviewers have said. This hotel is really charming and the staff were all so kind. Unfortunately we arrived in the middle of a heat wave and our room was in the highest room in the tallest tower and there was no a/c. They lent us a fan but it was no contest against daytime... More

Thank you to the Hostellerie Gargantua! We stayed there for four nights and were very happy with the experience. Every proprietor we encountered was incredibly helpful and charming. My wife and I have VERY little French, but between our handful of phrases and the staff's command of English, everything went smoothly. We had a few bottles of wine we wanted... More

this is a superbly charming and authentic hotel in the heart of Chinon. it is a short walk to the chateau and the quaint cobbled streets are all around. we stayed there with a 1 year old and a cot and high chair were provided (we did request them in advance). the rooms are a slice of history in themselves...

We stayed here in late June with a 2 year old and a 7 year old. We had a fantastic time and the owners and staff were very helpful. We actually had a car problem and they called the rental car company for me, had the car picked up, and arranged for me to get the car back. We will... More

This is a charming little hotel and very well located - easy walk to the castle and the town center. the rooms are small but nice and very clean. The hotel does not have a lift and has a spiral staricase so large suitcases would be a problem for some travellors

We absolutely loved our stay here, so much so that we extended it by two nights after cancelling our stay at the awful Hotel de France in Bordeaux. The Hostellerie represents fantastic value for money, whether you opt for a large or a small room. Tasteful decoration, clean, lots of space, large bathrooms; I really can't recommend the place enough.
