Great room, good breakfast and very nice people - the warmest and friendliest welcome.
Very nice hotel, clean, quiet, comfortable bed, modern room facilities. Well located right in the centre, nice neighbourhood. Staff very helpful. Would definitely come back.
We first stayed at this hotel in 1986 and gave re-visited several times since. The location is fantastic right in the centre and beside the public car park and lift up to the chateau. The hotel has been renovated and extended over the years and is now even has a roof terrace for chilling out in after a days touring/cycling. The owners have changed over the years and the current owners, Romain & Romain, are wonderful friendly hosts, as are the rest of the hotel staff, We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back again.
This place is impeccable. In spite of it being in an historic building it has been lovingly maintained. Our triple room had an enormous bedroom with twin sinks. The beds were in separate rooms and there were original paintings on the walls. Breakfast was very good. Stay there if you’re in the area.

Hotel is really quaint and done within several very old buildings - as best as possible. Decent accommodations, with the givens of walking up and down numerous stairs, dark hallways, etc.
Personnel there ranges from: exceptionally sweet young woman - who carried our heavy suitcases up two steep stairs (no elevator) - to a very unfriendly male. Requests like - making a call on our behalf to a beauty salon - were met with dismay (by the male).
The breakfast area could be easily mistaken for a US Best Western hotel. Impersonal. Food as well. The only thing - that was really cool - was the giant mural with the Rabelais character - Gargantua (the gourmand).
All in all it is an OK place with strategic location within the downtown.
A really lovely hotel with super helpful and friendly staff. Beautiful location, great terrace and super recommendations for dinner (the restaurant next door is brilliant too)
For this level of hotel, Hotel de France is great - it's the 3rd time we've stayed there. Bang in the middle of the charming Chinon, lots of world class dining options and such a lovely town to walk around. Great stay. Thank You.
We enjoyed our stay here very much and would stay again. The staff was friendly and helpful and the room was very comfortable. Enjoyed happy hour on the outdoor terrace - the bartender picked the strawberries off the plant growing in a pot and gave them to us - the best strawberries I've ever had! A cute little french bulldog appeared every now and then for fun and entertainment. Highly recommend.
Propriétaires et personnel très accueillants, très beau cadre, décoration soignée, propreté irréprochable et petit déjeuner au top.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et recommendons cet établissement.
Excellent petit-déjeuner dans une belle pièce, belle terrasse sur le toit pour prendre un verre. Personnel très efficace, professionnel et accueillant.
hôtel trés bien placé au coeur du vieux Chinon. Le château à proximité et les vieilles rues à deux pas. Bon accueil , bon petit déjeuner avec le nécessaire.. .
Hotel de caractere et chaleureux tres bien situé dans le centre historique ; les patrons ainsi que le personnel sont accueillants et de bons conseils ;
