Hotel De France - LOGIS DE FRANCE - La Chartre-sur-le-Loir

This was a nice hotel, right at the train station, which gave us access to CDG by TGV for our trip home. It was also easy to get into downtown Tours to see the sights of this nice city.

Even though the rooms are small compared to hotels in the USA, this hotel is a great location in Tours. A 10 minute walk to old town Tours and a 20 minute walk to the train station. Staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful - especially since I don't speak French very well. Very accomodating to all requests. In addition, the restaurant dinner menu is unbelievable - high quality gourmet. I would definitely stay here again.

Rooms are compact and appeared to be redecorated compared to previous internet photos. Baths were updated with new fixtures. Location was quiet. Close to good dining and Rail Station. Short walk to old town. Front desk was helpful making taxi reservations and storing luggage after checkout. Elevator. Breakfast was a cold buffet: cereal, hard boiled eggs, meats, fruit, bread, and yogart.

Best bed, cleanliness and reception desk even though they forgot to give us our wake up call. Right at train station. Personal amenities weren't replenished daily. Also, it is half hour walk to Old Town, but a tram is being installed. There are no convenience stores near by to buy beverages or snacks. They are about 10 minute walk. Breakfast was good, however expensive if not included in room price and even though we were there an hour before it closed the eggs were not replenished so we had to only eat rolls.

Good value for our 3-day stay. The room was small with no drawer space and no refrigerator. Had we been staying there longer, not having these things would've been more of an issue. The bathroom was the best feature of the room: plenty of counter space, decent shower. The hotel didn't have any washclothes but that was not a big deal. Good bedding and we slept well. There was a grocery store right across the street. Staff was friendly and helpful when we had questions.
