This hotel in the centre of Tours is convenient for the railway station and an easy walk to shops and the old town, and makes an excellenent base for touring the Loire region.

Perfectly situated in the centre of Tours. Great service and good value. Renovation seems to be started and at least in my room it will be needed sooner than later. More

The hotel is definitely in a great location, which is convenient for shopping and touring around. The room is good and well organised. We had a king-size bed room - big spaces for luggage, which is much better than most of the hotels. More

Its proximity to the city center. This hotel suffers from a serious lack of maintenance. The carpet at the reception area, lifts and especially our room were very filthy.
