Etap is budget and you never know what to expect but this hotel was very close to train station and town centre plus it was clean and quiet. would reccommend. Tours is the best place to be located if you want to visit chateaux

Exactly as before.
This hotel was again as per my previous review better than many ETAP hotel stays as the bathrooms (and some of the rooms themselves) are much bigger than normal.

The room was again overlooking the station but was well soundproofed so not a problem.

Once again I chose Tours as place to stop off, this time when needing to be in the Paris area mid morning (easy via the TGV).
Once again I arrived late at the station (from the south this time)

Once again, the fact that you check in at the next door MERCURE - ie over the counter makes this as personal as a 3*** hotel but much cheaper!

My paperwork was found within seconds of me walking into the Mercure lobby, so I was in my room within a couple of minutes

Back from 4D/3N with my wife. Paid E36/night. Basic amenties, nothing too fanciful. Good enough for a night's sleep. Location is near train station, in a safe area. Don't bother about the breakfast at the hotel, not worth the 4 euros.

I have just spent two nights at the Etap, central Tours. Location was good as you can walk easily to most of the interesting places. Hotel satff unfriendly, unhelpful and did not speak any English, could not offer help and advice and seldom there. They gave us a key with a number to enter the hotel but this was incorrect - we had to wait for someone else to come in to let us in as there were no staff around. it does have the appearance and atmosphere of a student hostel.

The room was basic but clean although the bathroom did smell musty, the window did not close properly and the hotel is at the main train terminal so very noisy. I had a very strange sheet for my top bunk - 1m wide and 5m long!!! interesting!

Do not buy breakfast - bread and jam - not worth the money when there are plenty of bars and cafes offering breakfast very nearby. However it was cheap and adequate for a bagain break.
