Pierre Colin majuscule à Pâtisserie Chocolaterie Chinon sur Chinon

Excellent place to stay! A warm welcome, superb cuisine, a very comfortable room, and a breakfast that's well worth the trip...

This was one of the few places we found that did a breakfast. We sat outside in the sun. Not the best view although great on market day. We didn't stay or dine but the interior looked clean and comfortable

Please note, the hotel has been completely renovated and the staff has changed. Our two nights were perfect; the hotel is very well located, with a large free parking lot in front and shops and pedestrian streets nearby. The welcome was very friendly, and the rooms were very clean and modern. Air conditioning is not yet available. We dined in the restaurant; the waiter was very kind and attentive, and the dishes were generous and well-prepared. We have no complaints and are very satisfied with our stay. We will gladly return, especially since this hotel remains one of the best value options in Chinon. Congratulations on the reopening and the dynamism of this new team.

Excellent location, very clean and well-equipped room, a little small though, and welcoming staff. Highly recommended.

One night in this hotel. The room was recently renovated, very clean, with a comfortable bed and a spacious, modern bathroom. The room overlooked a courtyard. The common areas are old, as are the room doors, resulting in poor soundproofing in the hallway. However, it's not the hotel's fault if guests don't respect the quiet hours. Breakfast is not worth €12. The bread and pastries were frozen, there was very little fresh fruit (one orange and three apples), and the scrambled eggs, which were probably powdered, were inedible. The hotel lacks charm. I had to double-check to make sure I was in the right place because the photos didn't reflect reality, nor did the hotel's name. There's parking right across from the hotel, and the reception staff were very pleasant.

A pleasant, air-conditioned room in a well-located hotel. The only downside is the poor soundproofing between rooms.

Superb cuisine, very good, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for the warm welcome; the servers were very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant and hotel.

This is a great little stop over hotel and great value for the price. Right in the centre of town with easy free parking over the road in a large town square. Our welcome was very friendly with a lady who spoke good English to help with our broken French The rooms are small but clean and the beds were comfy. There wasn't air con but a fan was provided.

I made a reservation at the Lion d’Or in Chinon for one night. I’ll start with the positives. Access is very easy, and the reception staff were perfect: warm, professional, and very pleasant. The hotel is quiet and tastefully decorated, with even a touch of luxury. We had also booked a table at the restaurant for dinner. Again, no problems at all: the service was quick and professional, and the food was delicious. Now for the negative point. Like many people, we booked a room based on the photos on the website. When I saw the pictures of the double rooms, I thought, “Wow, it’s magnificent!” They looked warm and cozy, with that touch of luxury, especially the fireplace and stone walls, which really helped me imagine myself there. When we went to pick up the keys, we were told that the room was on the 3rd floor (a little workout, no explanation needed!). Upon opening the door, I was met with a cold shower: a very small room, somewhat poorly laid out, and above all, one that bore no resemblance whatsoever to the ambiance showcased in the website photos. Naturally, I was disappointed. However, I don't like to be unfair. The room was extremely clean, as was the bathroom. The bedding was also impeccable. My only complaint concerns the discrepancy between the website photos and reality, which gives the impression of misleading advertising. Despite this disappointment with the room, I still wholeheartedly recommend this hotel, particularly for the quality of service, the peaceful atmosphere, and the excellent restaurant.

The major drawback was the noise; the rooms were poorly soundproofed and the bed was small (140cm). Combined with the lack of respect from some guests, this resulted in a very bad night's sleep during our stay.
