We came upon this hotel when we went to hotel ronsard and they had cancelled our booking so this was the only place with a room left. Its in a good location for young people, a big square with pubs and bars all around. There are heaps of restaurants right outside the hotel so that was helpful to us.

The place has the best of both worlds, it has a histroical feel to it but still modern. The room we got was on the top floor and the only way up is stairs, so people who aren't so able and have alot of luggage this isnt the place for you. The room was on the larger side, there was no safe or storage area which would be helpful. The bathroom was modern and had a bath which was nice to just relax after driving all day. The toilet and shower/bath were seperate. What I really liked about the room was the exposed beams on the roof. The bed was two singles put together but ok to sleep on. The view out our room was looking onto the neighbouring roof tops which made you really feel like you were in france. The room was also clean and had air-con.

The receptionist was very helpful and friendly throughout our stay. They had a continental breakfast but we didn't try it as we only stayed one night and were leaving early. I would suggest you do have the breakfast though if you are staying around as there is nowhere open in the mornings.

We stayed there for three nights on Tuesday-Thursday last week. Very small room, small en-suite - we were on the top floor at the back. Stairs would be an issue if you are not so mobile. Room was boutiquey with a modern bathroom. But it was not the kind of place you can relax after a hard day of sightseeing. More of a base only. Three coathangers and nowhere to put your stuff. The location is very central in the old town amongst all the nice restaurants and bars. The rooms have thin partitioned walls so noise between rooms could be an issue. The noise from outside was fine the first two days but on the last night we went back to the room to be greeted by a full on party at the property at the back of us. This went on until 12.30 - fair enough not that late, but late enough after you want to go to sleep if you have an early start. We rang the reception at 11.30 pm but the lady although apologetic, could not help. This wasn't a bit of noise it was a rowdy party with drum and bass and screaming. So perhaps it is more a young persons place (we are both 50 - positively middle aged I know). We took breakfast which was fine and was value for money.

I was quite delighted with L'Adresse: I just wanted it to be somewhere else! Place Plumereau and the surrounding streets have bars and discotheques hopping until all hours. If that's your scene then you'll love staying in this area. It wasn't mine. I'm a sound sleeper, but even at that, the constant bottle-smashing was a little much. And the singing! I see other reviewers have also noticed this. I've seen crowds of drunken people in plenty of cities, but never so much singing. One of the mysteries of the world is why people are always drunkenly singing at the top of their lungs in Tours. Though I'm glad they're so happy. ;)

As a woman travelling alone, it was not even the noise of the area that concerned me most, but that sort of anarchic energy that gets generated when lots of rowdy 18-35 year old men go out drinking together. I had intended to walk to the train station at about 5:45 a.m., but people were STILL singing and bottle-smashing. I stayed in my room until 6:25 due to safety concerns--by that time there were at least some street sweepers out and about who might come to my defence if I got into trouble with the roving drunkard crowd. If I went to Tours again I'd try the cathedral district in the hopes it might be quieter, and might feel safer to me.

That said, the moment you walk through the door of L'Adresse you'll heave a sigh of contentment. Even the colour scheme is quiet. The hostess spoke impeccable, if slightly formal, English. I try to speak French wherever I go, but she was so proficient in English that I stopped forcing myself. The room was extremely small, certainly, but I loved it--I thought the clever layout seemed almost Scandinavian the way it used all available space. The bed was the most comfortable one I slept in while in France. The Internet connected with no trouble, though it was quite slow--overusing their bandwidth, maybe? There are phones in the rooms, but if you want to use them for outside calls, learn from my mistake and remember to ask to have your line turned on before the reception closes at 11:00 p.m. Overall, this place was incredible value for money. I would stay here again if I were not travelling by myself. And I'd bring earplugs.

I stayed at the hotel three nights. The staff was very helpful, even in helping me find a hotel on one night when theirs was full. It is right in the old city; step out to lots of restaurants, cafes, gelato places. The Loire river is just a few blocks away. My room was lovely, nicely decorated, very comfy bed, with a very nice bathroom. It even had air conditioning. I was amazed at how quiet my room was considering it was so festive every night in the old city. On the negative: no elevator (in case that matters to you) and no place to keep a bike overnight. The seat on my rental bike, which was locked on a bike rack outside a block away, was stolen! Apparently having a bike stolen is common in France.
