Villa

Disliked: Staff & service
We booked the hotel on Expedia around 10pm by 11:30pm we were at the hotel. We were not able to check in since there was nobody at the reception. We called the number provided, only to see the phone ringing at the reception but nobody to answer it. So we were left without hotel and 3 small children in the car. Obviously money was deducted from our account and now we have to chase the refund. I would be careful booking this hotel!!!

It's a quiet and simple hotel, but it is definitely worth of staying at it's cost. The owner is very nice and the breakfast was great!

Very nice hotel near quaint village.
Being within walking distance to well preserved medieval village, we visited local "patisserie and charcuterie" along with local chocolate Factory. The most important thing for us was it's perfect location for visiting two very special sites : the Chateau of Chambord and the Chateau of Cheverney. Coming back to a modern hotel completed the experience.

Confortable, close to the castle
The hotel was comfortable, close to chambond castle. Staff was very professional and helpfull. Room was nice, very comfortable. Breakfast was expansive, but i liked the choice of product that was offered. The restaurant associated with the hotel had a very good choice of dishes, high quality maybe a little expansive.

Simple, clean, modern hotel
We just wanted somewhere to base ourselves for 3nights in the Loire while en route to the dordogne . We just needed a hotel which provided a clean, comfortable room at a good price, no frills. This is exactly what we got. The room was a good size with bathroom and separate toilet. It was cleaned daily. The staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast at 8.50 euros was simple but plentiful: croissants, bread, cereal, fruit, yoghurt and selection of drinks. Bracieux itself was a nice village with a choice of restaurants ( particularly recommend the relais close to the hotel). Great position for seeing Loire and chateaux, chambord is just down the road.

Near Many Chateaus
The owner was there in the lobby and was great! The room was set-up and ready for our family of five. It was clean and roomy. Parking in on site and was easy. The town of Bracieux was small, charming and had everything we needed. I would stay here again if in the area.

Convenient Location and Reasonable Price
The hotel was very close to the Chambord Chateau and other Loire Valley sites. The price could not be beat, but was reflective of the very basic accommodations. While not uncomfortable or anything, the facility was very sparsely furnished and decorations were minimal. But for a quick stop-over, it had all you might need.

Great value
Pleasantly surprised by everything! Large room, bathroom, separate toilet. Our room was motel style so had own entrance and nice view onto the hotel's grassy area and pond with outdoor seating. Welcoming owner and nice breakfast if you wanted it. Very near to the large Chambord chateau and forest which was a great visit.

Convenient for Chambord and friendly staff
Travelling as a family, we stayed for 2 nights to visit the surrounding castles. We were upgraded to a larger room. This was a godsend. The spacious room and the grassy area just outside the hotel gave us plenty of space to entertain the kids. Parking is convenient. Surroundings are green and peaceful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would go back in a heartbeat.

Great Hotel
I was not expecting much because it was very inexpensive, but it was a great spot. Big, bright clean room, located in a pretty setting. Quality beds. Good inexpensive breakfast. Close to many attractions. Very friendly English speaking owner who made everyone feel very welcome. This is a great spot to sight see from. There are lots of dinning options in nearby towns. A car would be a must.

Un bel hôtel en campagne, un service à améliorer.
Les modalités d'accueil sont à revoir pour améliorer la communication avec le client. Plus personne n'était présent à 19h05 alors que l'accueil est ouvert jusqu'à 20h00 selon les textes. Les chasses d'eau des toilettes sont de très basse intensité, cela ne nettoie pas la cuvette. Laisser ouvert à tous les passants les couloirs de l'hôtel sans code est-ce une bonne idée ? Le petit déjeuner coûte 10 Euros par personne et pas 8,50€ comme mentionné sur le site de réservation.

Très déçue ! Allez ailleurs si vous pouvez !!
Très déçue par cet hotel 2 etoiles ! Excepté la grandeur de la chambre qui est très bien il faut revoir les équipements et vite !!! La chasse d'eau ne fonctionnait plus (plus d'eau), la porte de la douche ne fermait pas et le flexible de douche était percé ! Pas de grande serviette pour les 4 personnes de la chambre.. juste 3 et deux petites serviettes ( sale ) .. et le gel douche etait vide ! Malgré que nous avons alerté la réception aucun geste commercial sur le prix de la chambre qui etait déjà doublé suite au concert... Bref je ne vous conseille pas du tout cet hotel. C'est très dommage car il est bien situé près de chambord !! Je suis habituée à faire des hotels et c'est très rare voir jamais que je met des mauvaises notes.. mais là.. c'est abusé de ne pas avoir le minimum qui fonctionne pour les 200 euros la nuit payée !
