Located 500 metres from Saumur railway station the Best Western Adagio provided a comfortable base for our exploration of this interesting town. Rooms are relatively small but ours was clean and had a comfortable bed. One definite bonus was free wi-fi.

The hotel is situated on a largish island betweent the railway side and the main town on Saumur. It is about a 10 minute walk to the town centre.

Although the selection at breakfast was somewhat limited the quality was very good - particularly the coffee.

Overall we enjoyed a very pleasant stay and felt we received good value for money.

We stayed here for 4 nights - our room was depressing with the dark walls and furniture and a rather garish thin yellow curtain. Our handwash supplid for the showering was not checked daily and ran out. The bathroom floor was not swept as hairs remained. The work top not cleaned from day one as the marks remained from our coffee cups.. The mini bar was not topped up after use on first day. Little milk/tea bags supplied - only enough for one cup each (although we did get if asked for). 2 out of 6 lights did not work.
On the few occasions we did speak to reception they came across as unhelpful.
Had better says at other hotels.
The location is good, still heard the road noise despite a form of double glazing.
Very hard and uncomfortable beds - back ache every morning.

Checked in last minute after disastrous 1 hour stay at La Croix Blanche. Dorothy on reception was lovely, very helpful and charming. We stayed in a room with huge bed, lovely furnishings, air con and double bathroom sinks! Secure underground parking was a bonus. Had dinner at Le Trianon (highlight) and left next day rested and chilled. Thank your for a lovely (if short) stay.

The Adagio is situated on Isle Offard which is a small island in the river Loire in the center of Saumur.

We stayed in an Elegance room which was a good size and well equiped, with a north eastern view over the river. At this time of year the hotels offer BOGOF's and a two night stay came to 150 euro with breakfast.

Breakfast was typical continental but everything was fresh with good coffee and overlooking the Loire with the sun rising - good start to the day.

The hotel has secure parking 7 euor per night, however there appears to be plenty of on-street parking at this time of year.

There is a good choice of restaurants which are a short walk over the bridge into the town about 60 to 70 euro for two with wine.

Our chateau itinery was Saumur, Chinon, Usse, Azzay Le Rideau, and Villandry, all within a short car drive from Saumur.

We also ventured into and quickly out of Tours - not much to see and very heavy traffic.

Over all a very enjoyable weekend.
