A super breakfast. I loved the home made granola and fresh fruit and yogurt.
There was no marmalade bit then that’s not very French😊

Reception host was amazing. So helpful. He fixed an American breakfast the next morning which was superb. Location is right in the center of town. There is free parking overnight. Convenient to everything.
Highly recommend.
Not a thing!

We enjoyed really stay during a family gathering in the city of Chinon, lovely hotel, very comfortable and with the authentic charm of the region. Breakfast was incredible and the managers and their team absolutely perfect!

Central location. Nice rooms. Dog- friendly with fig beds, bowls and personalised treat bags for our 2 dogs.
Friendly staff.
On the expensive side for dog charges.

The location couldn’t be better and full of character. The rooftop bar was a big plus as was the secure parking on site. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. ALL the staff were very helpful, pleasant and welcoming.
The room itself was a bit tight & small for anything longer than a long weekend (3 days). Also more storage/hanging space in the room would be useful - I.e. coat hooks.

We spent only one night at Chinon and the hotel was perfectly located next restaurants and cafes. The rooms were great and spacious. It was very comfortable and quiet. We had a great stay and would recommend it.
Worth noting theres not an elevator and there are a lot of stairs and steps. It was not a big issue, and staff was very helpful with our luggage, but worth having it in mind.

Central location in the heart of the old town. Great staff, very helpful.
No lift, so be prepared to climb lots of stairs if you are on the third floor! The shower was very tight!

Great location. Period features. Room 30 family suite was ideal for couple with two kids in separate room. Breakfast was excellent quality. Parking nearby and 2 EV chargers in public car park.
Noise from the inner courtyard as guest returning after dinner had a chat and drink. They finished by 1030/1100.

Noise every 2 mins (like a drill) which lasted 2 seconds each time.
Noise came from the aircon vicinity?

For the price this maybe the best hotel I’ve stayed in. Clean, functional, charming, nice roof bar, right in the centre of town.
The public car part of 30 seconds walk and can clear 220 cm
It’s not a boutique luxury hotel, but it doesn’t try to be. So nothing I didn’t like

There were parts of the hotel that were a bit threadbare and in need of an update

Best western Chinon is bang in the middle of the town,overlooking the main square ,we were fortunate enough to have a room with a small balcony so a Birds Eye view.
We would love to revisit as was an overnight stop en route further south,missed the Tour de France by a. day,unfortunately!
Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel ,not just for its central location, but the Staff are so friendly and genuinely helpful, even had our car parked for us in the hotel secure parking garage !
Breakfast was a great choice ,of eggs bacon sausage, toast,baguette,croissants,pastries,cheese hams fresh fruit choice of yoghurts,nuts fruit ,coffee tea fruit juice ,plentiful and the cheese was locally sourced and awesome,
Beds and linen of good quality and good shower products (ritual ), usual tea coffee water in room,very nice stay and comfortable !
And a delightful roof top bar to cap the night off !
There wasn’t anything to complain about ,enjoyed !

Fantastic location on a charming square filled with restaurants and very close to a parking area and the lifts up to teh castle. We were given a very warm welcome by the staff and our room, though small, was perfectly clean and had everything we needed for a night.
Instructions for finding the hotel could be clearer: I had to ask at the tourist office as the hotel was half hidden behind trees and restaurant umbrellas. We weren't very impressed by breakfast: the selection of fresh fruits, yoghurts etc was poor, it took a long time to clear tables, there were no plates or glasses when we first got there and I had to ask a member of staff to fix the coffee machine. Maybe it was a timing thing, as we came after a large group, and it was about 9.00am on a Sunday morning, but we felt it could easily have been better.

Hotel is in the center square of this beautiful city.
Roma the man running the hotel was incredible, he was kind, thoughtful and very helpful to two senior citizens - a wonderful, lovely experience in a beautiful hotel in the center of the city.

Through the booking.com site, it stated that onsite parking was available. Upon arrival, while we did have a confirmed reservation, we did not have a reservation for parking. (the onsite parking was very limited) This required us to find local street parking for the night, and its possible overnight charges. (Staff was helpful explaining this) While this was not the case for us, I feel the booking site could have made it clearer that a parking reservation was required separate of our hotel.
UPDATE ON THE PARKING: Through booking.com I received an email directly from the property, asking me if I'd like to make a parking reservation. As it was in French, and I was already into my trip, I did not bother to read it. Had I done so, I would have learned that a reservation for parking was necessary.

Nice spacious room.
Staff supervising the buffet breakfast failed to top up some items when they ran out - for example the milk fruit salad and croissants.
10.0 / 10.0
Lovely welcome from the staff, room fresh and very clean. The location was great and overlooking the square was very atmospheric. We were not bothered by any significant noise, just background chatter of people enjoying the facilities which we found pleasant.
Breakfast facilities were clean and well organised and offered a good choice.
We would not hesitate to stay there again and would recommend it to others
