A reasonable hotel with clean functional rooms close to the remarkable chateau at Chambord.

The is a roof garden where you can sit out and smoke if you wish. You can also peer into the kitchen which we did. We were glad that we didn't eat in the restaurant after what we witnessed!

We stayed here for one night as a stopover on a long journey from the Dordogne back to Calais....we booked through chateauxhotels.co.uk where you have the option to book the restaurant which we thought would be a great idea as we would be tired from the drive.
Arrived in the village to find what appeared to be a building site surrounding the hotel as they appear to be digging all the roads up and renovating the area surrounding the church opposite...it looks like this will be the case for a good couple of months so be warned....very dusty.
Checked into the hotel which was nicely decorated and a complete contrast to the drab village in which it resides....unfortunately the hotel seemed to have lost the booking for the restaurant which we were not best pleased about and they didn’t seem too bothered by. They booked us into a sister restaurant but this was at least a 30 min drive from where the hotel was so we cancelled and drove into Chambord (5 mins)and ate at the Hotel Grand St. Michel which overlooks the chateau....excellent food with a great view (so possibly a good thing they lost our booking at La Maison).
Hotel was OK but not great...emphasis was definitely on the restaurant and the hotel part seemed like an afterthought...air con didn't work (surprisingly hot for May)...7 Euros for a 33cl organic beer was just a tad expensive if you ask me :-0

Comfortable hotel, but the restaurant is why you go - excellent dining experience - worth a return visit!

We booked this hotel on spec because it was handy for the Chateau Chambord and it turned out to be a lovely surprise. The Hotel is kitted out in a modern style and very good value for money. It is a nice 10 minute scenic drive along the Loire from Blois.

You can park in the square opposite the hotel and staff are very helpful.

One peice of advice though is book dinner in advance. The cosy restaurant is quite small and very popular with the good people of Montlivault. There is nothing else in the village, so a drive to Blois is the only option. The receptionist noted our disquiet about not eating in the hotel and reserved us a table in a very good brasserie in Blois which had easy parking. She also gave very good directions.
