Velleches Hotels

"Lovely hotel in an old country mansion. Beautiful grounds. Very helpful staff able to assist in booking tours. Quiet location 15 min walk into town and slightly closer to train station. Our room was small, but nice. Comfortable bed. Dinner in the restaurant was really delicious. "

"Great budget hotel. Tons of value for the money."

"The owner was at the desk and recommended a nice brasserie to eat: the hotel was comfortable, in an old stone building with a lot of character. The room was comfortable the bedding perfect and we had a little sitting corner. We did not try the restaurant because it was closed but you will find plenty of places to have a good meal at a reasonable price. Will return in a heart beat."

"The blind didn't close properly and the room was hot, having been in the sun. We were grateful for the fan that was supplied. The beds were comfortable enough but we were disturbed by other guests outside. There's no overhead light and so the room was quite dark with just a light over the desk and bed. The shower was refreshing."

"We loved Chinon! Lovely stay!"

"The room was dated but clean and quiet and the hotel provided everything we needed for a one night stopover breaking a very long car journey. Breakfast was good."

"Disappointing service and meal options as it was a Tuesday! The limited wine menu, never has any stock and you are always offered an alternative. We had to ask for the wine menu and our dinner got cold whilst waiting for our wine, as it wasn't in stock but noone bothered to tell us until we chased them. There were only 7 tables, but our dirty plates were left in front of us for ages and the 'Fawlty Towers waiter', had no structure to his service. Also rather than dinner served in the lovely dining room, it was served in the breakfast room on sticky plastic mats. This is our third time here, and things have not got better, it feels like the love and care have gone and jobs that were outstanding 4 years ago are still outstanding. The food was nice, but we wanted the gastronimique menu and was not advised that this was unavailable at booking, so had no choice but have the lesser menu. Previously it was available on a Tuesday, as this is the day we travel home.After eating breakfast a previous year, we did not bother this time as other hotels give you much better options with hot food, and better quality items for the same price. The shower leaked and the sealant is mouldy. We could not have the windows open during the night due to noise from the frogs!! But the duvet was a tog you would use in winter, and there was no fan, so it was not a comfortable nights sleep, being summer. We will not visit again due to the Tuesday menu choice, as this outweighed the negatives previously"

"Sophie and family have an amazing hotel. Perfect stop over for our family. Great breakfast too! "

"The hotel itself was fine and convenient for our drive to southern France, however the dining was extremely limited and poor. We ate in the restaurant which was only serving a buffet. It was poor for kids meaning they barely ate anything for €30 each. My fiancée, myself and my 9 month baby were then extremely sick throughout the night likely from the chicken we tried. I informed the staff on check out and emailed the hotel management, yet have never received a response. An extremely disappointing experience from a usually reliable hotel chain. I will not use this hotel or chain again. "
