Good value, no frills overnight hotel. Clean, comfortable and decent breakfast for the price. Stairs only. Quiet room, restaurants nearby.

Early September and no heating available. Very light bedding so very cold. No drink facility in room. Very thin walls!

Cheap and cheerful. Good value for money at only a little over €42. Breakfast basic not expensive. Only 8 mins to town centre by car. Chartres cathedral is, of course, stunning particularly for it’s stained glass. Vitrial also worth a visit-€7 entry

It's hard to comment when the stay is only one night. The restaurants just outside the hotel are perfect.

Easy check in, clean comfortable room, welcoming for our little dog too, with clean, grassy park opposite. Good food outlets nearby, and a generous breakfast at Le Forum as well. Excellent stay, thank you

This chain offers consistently good basics: a comfortable bed and a hot shower. The rooms while compact are always clean and comfortable. The only thing you sacrifice if you are a tourist is they are not found in the tourist parts of town.

We arrived late at night and after some challenges in finding the correct hotel and gaining access, found the room to be adequate. The next morning the attendant at breakfast seemed surprised to find guests wanting to eat and reluctantly allowed me to do so. The actual breakfast was GHASTLY, with the 'All you can eat' breakfast consisting of a very poor offering powdered egg, dry bacon, a few slices of bread, croissants, yoghurt and cereal, coupled with plates the size of saucers! The attendant was surly and watched every bit of food taken with a hawk's eye, more in keeping with rations at a concentration camp than a hotel with all you can eat breakfast. My partner took his own special dietary cereal from the room to the table in and regrettably made the mistake of using 100ml of the hotel's milk. This seemed to trigger the attendant scouring the cctv cameras with little subtlety and proceed to call in the manager (?) who marched in like an army general, surveyed our table without so much as a smile or a greeting and poured over the cctv cameras. When it came time to settle the bill, he insisted on charging the full breakfast price for my partner, despite him not having taken any hotel breakfast, because of the fact that he had used a bit of milk. The staff and their poor attitude ruined what would otherwise have been an acceptable stay and left a very bad taste in the mouth. This has been the worst experience ever and poor hospitality advertisement for France!!

I always stay with Hotel B&Bs when I travel through France, I love the 24 hour check in so I can turn up late and still get into the room. I usually stay at Chartres, and prefer the Forum to le Coudray. Its not fancy but clean, quiet and comfortable. I like that I can park right in front of my room if I am on the ground floor. Dog friendly too. Area around the hotel is not fancy, just a retail park, but I am travelling through, not staying, although I do recommend the Cathedral if you are stopping longer. Much more convenient place to stay than in the city centre which is full of one way streets and barriers.

The room and bath room were so tiny and the two out of four room lights didn't work. There wasn't any bedside table or outlet on my side so I couldn't have my cell phone charged. (My husband used the desk top.) I stayed the same chain hotel in different location, and it was much better than this one.

Did not know lobby closes at 8pm - check in is thru ATM...new process - slow, inconvenient, must have hotel confirmation number handy [not Expedia Confirmation Number]. Took almost 1 hour to check-in due to room being given away even though we had given our credit card number to hold. Lack of face to face staff a great disadvantage when language is a barrier. Eventually manager showed up [with cigarette in hand], and offered us TWO rooms for 4 persons at extra charge, instead of ONE room for 4 persons. Rooms are basic but clean; small with only enough room to walk single file. Bathroom was small - half a bathtub size which makes turning inside shower or any movement challenging not to mention causing wetness outside shower area. Not for those with claustrophobia/disability issues.

Perfectly functional room, although stairs were a bit steep for our 3 year old! Children lived the mezzanine.
