A beautiful sanctuary on the Loire
After 2 weeks of covid on our holiday we arrived at this beautiful hotel for a stop on our journey home. We were stunned by the location, welcome and rooms. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed a stroll around this charming town, ancient church and history. Ian Fleming was right to say you should see Beaugency before you die. It was the best bit of our holiday.

My first visit to this grandiose establishment and I’d certainly return. Staff friendly and welcoming, breakfast impressive. A pity my room was dusty and a little “tired” but overall a pleasant stay.

Very charming property though it is a bit old and tired (what do you expect in an Abbaye?) Bed was comfortable and this forgives all. Was a cute place to stay.

Lovely hotel walking distance from shops supermarket and restaurants. Great walks for dogs. Room fine, little out of date but clean and the beautiful building and friendly helpful English speaking staff more than make up for it. Bit steep €20 per dog but totally recommend this place.

Our room was on the 4th floor with many steps to climb. There was no Porter nor any offer of help from the person at the reception desk. The two members of staff we had occasion to talk with ( one of whom may have been the owner/manager) were unsmiling and quite uncommunicative. I should also say that when we asked for rooms on a lower floor we were told that since we had booked through Expedia, we were not able to change our rooms. We were also told that by booking through Expedia we were paying much more than we would had we called L'Abbaye direct, and that in future we should book directly with them. We will never be back to L'Abbaye!

Absolutely beautiful!!! One of the best hotels ever, the historical rooms and the grand staircase were breathtaking. The history of this Abbey is amazing and the rooms have a bathroom that is very updated with a great bathtub! Parking is onsite and plentiful and great restaraunts and the town center or within walking distance. We only stayed one night but I wish I could have stayed longer!!! I enjoyed this small town charm better than my visit to Paris, that’s how amazing this hotel was. The young man working the desk was so pleasant and helpful, he even served me wine while I was sitting in the grand parlor, I hope to return here one day!!

Charming hotel with great breakfast
It was a great experience to stay in the old Abby. Breakfast there was the best breakfast we had for our whole trip in France with great view seeing the Sein river and the bridge. We got there at night so it was a bit hard to find the entrance and there was no sign pointing to which door the reception is. The person who helped us to check in was very helpful. She even helped my friend carried the big luggage up the stairs. We stayed on the 4th floor and there is no elevator. Overall we are really impressed with the hotel and definitely will come back to stay.

Historic hotel and village
We stayed here in Beaugency as a first stop on a driving trip through the Loire Valley. It is located about 1.75 hours south of Paris Orly. It is located only about 12 kilometers from both Chambord and Blois so it made a good base. Beaugency is a beautiful village with a nice choice of restaurants as well as it’s own Château and 12th century church. Highly recommend!

Pleasant hotel in great location
The hotel looks very grand and is in a fantastic location next to the Loire in the beautiful town of Beaugency. Part of an old Abbey, the building is full of original character features and the rooms are old monks quarters. We had a superior room which was large and on the top floor overlooking the river. The room was nice enough but smelt badly of damp due to the sealant around the bath being old and letting water through. It felt a bit tired - not just old (which is part of the appeal). The hotel has lovely raised outdoor seating areas and a small garden that is lovely. Hotel L’abbeye is a nice hotel in a great location as long as you are happy with slightly flawed and tired rooms.

The real review
It was great staying what was once an abby. The rooms look old but they are mostly clean. The bathrooms could use a little help, but remember your going for old and ancient! It was a fun place to stay and the town is very down home feeling - the cutest town that we stayed in our entire trip. If you like hussle and bussle this is not the place. It was a little further from the Chateau's than I expected. About one to one and half hours to most of them. Fun little restaurants that were walking distance.

Superb spot on the Loire river/ excellent hotel
Great spot on the Loire river . Free parking across the road. Very friendly helpful staff. Absolutely gorgeous old building ( an Abbey) with great rooms and very comfortable beds. Buffet breakfast good value and includes some things the monks make. very good value. Amazing old place to stay but very comfortable - everything worked perfectly. Easy walk ( 5 minutes) up the cobbled street to restaurants. Would highly recommend it.

Charming and Historic
I loved this hotel and although not perfect, I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again. Charming, quaint and historic. Receptionist very friendly, helpful and patient. Breakfast a bit pricey but upon having it, we decided it wasn’t too bad comparatively; nice selection beautifully presented. If travelling through the area again, I would seek out this hotel.

I loved this hotel.
Fantastic hotel in location, overlooking the Loire and a sometimes busy but beautiful bridge. It was even cooler inside--great old feel it. Old style but wonderful big room with old windows opening to the Loire. Comfortable bed. Good bath. Didn't eat breakfast as pricey at 16€ but dining area was lovely. Just loved the gestalt of this place. And a lovely and picturesque small town.

Historic building overlooking the Loire
This building with it grand staircase leading to good sized bedrooms was extremely comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was outstanding. Delicious preserves for the freshly baked range of breads, cheeses and cold meats along with many other options well displayed on the central serving table. Orange juice was freshly squeezed on the day and a range of teas and coffees made the meal exceptional.

Beautiful, Highly Recommend
The hotel is very charming and true to the pictures. The room was clean, spacious, well appointed and had a wonderful view of the river. We were surprised by vouchers for dinner at a nearby restaurant, a nice bonus. Although we skipped breakfast, they had a great breakfast area and food selection. Loved the atmosphere of the old abbey with it's comfortable lounge areas, grand staircase and long, wide hallways. Would highly recommend staying if you are in the area.
