Lovely Stay

A charming old house with a lovely garden patio right outside my door. It’s a short work to the Vienne river. The room is nice. Bath only, no shower.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We have stayed at the Diderot a number of times over the years. Mainly as a stop over enroute. It is very well located in the middle of Chinon and there is limited parking next to the hotel. The breakfast is just right with fresh bread and their home made jams. It was all as good as ever and a very pleasant stay.
David, 1-night trip

Paul, Manchester

Quirky hotel, very friendly staff, lovely shaded courtyard, but smallish room. Good, but not exceptional breakfast. On site parking

Correct sans plus

Hôtel calme mais un peu vieillot. Parking privé fermé à 20 h c’est un peu dommage de ne pas avoir d’accès. Petit déjeuner correct mais un peu cher par rapport à ce qui est proposé.

10/10 Exceptional

Une fois que l’on sait qu’il n’y a ni Clim, ni restaurant ni ascenseur il, on donne à cet hôtel la note maximale — disons 9,9 p, parce que 10/10 est du domaine de la métaphysique . Charmé, bar très sympa avec quelques snacks appréciés, un personnel d’exception, un parking protégé, au RdC un jardin fleuri charmant et des chambres incroyablement accueillantes. On rêve de revenir un jour! Merci!

Bon séjour, seul le lit n'est pas très très confortable.
Rebecca, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Charmant, 2 points d'amélioration...

Hotel Charmant avec de belles plantes et une belle batisse. Une bouteille d'eau à l'arrivée dans la chambre serait appréciée. Selon les hôtels, j'ai même la joie de découvrir des boissons chaudes (thé, café) et quelques friandises. ;-) Le lieu est très calme et bien entretenu. Le tarif du parking est un peu elevé je trouve (8€).

seul point faible : l'isolation sonore des chambres, j'ai cru à 7h du matin que mon voisin prenait une douche dans ma salle de bain !
