Picked as overnighter on way home from south west. Very difficult to find due to being given side alley's address which wasn't in sat nav. Was pleased when we did. Friendly arrival from mine host (lady) small, but clean and adequate room nicely decorated. Although shower head broken .Excellent views and food, although we stupidly allowed the young sommelier to recommend a wine, which at 24euros for a 50cl bottle seemed a little steep. Small but warm pool, and I agree with another comment that after the first class dinner, we expected a similar breakfast, but it was just the usual basic. That said we would definitely stay there again if it fit's in with our journey.

We stayed for four nights in this hotel as part of our trip to Normandy, Brittany and the Loire Valley. It's nicely located; just outside Saumur and situated on a height so that you can see the Castle in the distance. Though you would need to have a car to get around.

On arrival we got quite a frosty reception which was quite disappointing but perhaps we caught them on a bad day as the staff were very friendly for the rest of the stay. We ate in the restaurant (outside by the pool) one of the evenings and it was heavenly - it's well renowned in the area and definitely fine dining!

All in all we enjoyed our stay in the hotel - the room was very nice and on the ground floor; so close to the pool and breakfast area. We paid €90 per night + 12 p.p. for the breakfast (basic continental style) which I thought was actually quite basic for a hotel and restaurant of that quality.

We will certainly stay in this hotel next time we go to Saumur.

Bed is comfortable. However the service is terrible. At my fist night I the hotel was out of hot water at night. I went to the hotel manager to ask about this issue. The hotel manager didnt even apologize and said there is nothing they can do. So I end up having a cold shower at night. The second thing is we actually booked a luxury room. But because they were out of those rooms they gave me twin room which is actually much cheaper, but they have charged me the rate of the luxury room (unbelievable). Third thing I have experience is that when I asked for the price of the hotel breakfast they told me it is going to cost 6 euro per person. Eventually I end up paying 10 euro for it after a discussion, which is ended by a loud screaming voice of the manager. I do believe there can be a mis communication. However, I also believe that manager should have at least have an ear for the customer. I will not recommend this hotel to anyone. It is the most terrible hotel experience I have....

My family (2 adults, 3 kids under 12) stayed for one night on our way to the Vendee. Saumur is a pleasant Loire town with several excellent local wine producers.

The hotel is 5/10 minutes drive out of town on a hill top. It has excellent views of the Loire valley.

Our kids enjoyed the small swimming pool and had a good breakfast. We decided to eat our evening meal elsewhere as the restaurant is focused on gourmet food which is was out of our price range and unlikely to be appreciated by the children.

The room was a large open plan space. This was fine for one night but I'd want separate bedrooms if we stayed for longer. The price we paid was reasonable for the standard of the accommodation.
