"Beautiful old chateau. Very comfy beds.
No one around when we arrived. Had to wander the grounds looking for someone to check us in. We were offered a soft drink when the lady finally arrived. Never met the owners during our two days stay. We presumed they must be on holiday. Previous reviews were not the same as our experience. "

"We were welcomed and they noted the reason for our visit. The restaurant is an amazing place decorated in the art deco style. The food was delicious. The rooms had nice ceilings and very 1920s feel. Loved the hotel. Close to everything. Very nice place to stay with the essence of what I had always pictured staying in France would be."

"J'ai fait une réservation de derniere minutes via le site internet expedia mais malheureusement lors de notre arriver le gérant étais géné car la chambre que j'avais réservé n'était pas disponible. Heureusement il a trouvait une solution et nous a mis dans une autre chambre dans un autre bâtiment. Sa n'avais rien avoir avec la chambre réservé mais au moin ne me suis pas retrouvé a la rue avec mes 2 garçons. Merci a lui d'avoir trouvé une solution. Certes nous étions un peu déçu de ne pas avoir...

"A pleasant small hotel in a sleepy small town which has a massive Hogwartsesque abbey by the river. A very pleasant place for a short visit. The rooms were comfortable and clean and we had an excellent dinner in the restaurant."

The hotel was really lovely. Decor had been lovingly thought about and the owners are very much hands on. They have spent a lot of time getting the hotel to perfection. Room was extremely comfortable and quiet too. Large room and large bathroom. They had run out of croissants and pastries at 9am (breakfast finishes at 9.30). I didn’t ask so perhaps there were more available.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and found everything so beautifully done. There is a good choice of bedrooms; we enjoyed a drink in the lovely garden and were looking after so well. Dinner was excellent.
We will certainly return here.

We have used this stop over a number of times over a decade. Excellent facilities, secure parking, comfy beds, powerful shower. Great breakfast. A short walk into the town. Great hosts. Will definitely book again.

Great hotel in wonderful surroundings. Staff very friendly and helpful.
We were at a wedding and the reception was there as well so it was perfect for us.
For people wanting more facilties or to be near other restaurants it is out of the way so you need a car to get to anywhere.

relocated to this hotel during our stay in Angers during the very hot weather. This hotel is incredibly modern, well maintained and exceptionally clean. Our room was spacious, modern, loved the rituals toiletries and lovely roomy walk in shower. Room had air con, good view, really convenient for the train station. Very welcoming on the front desk and a superb breakfast. Would recommend and would very much stay here again if ever in the area.

The hotel was very well located in the city centre and not too far away from the railway station. The staff were all very helpful and polite, including the cleaners. It was very clean and the bedroom facilities were very good.
The breakfast was good, with a lot of choices and the staff there were always on hand to look after you.

Staff very helpful in ordering Pizza for us as restaurant not open Sundays. The only drawback was having to wait an hour for reception to open at 6.30pm

Modern, very comfortable accommodation. Pleasant reception staff. Really handy location very close to railway station and city centre. Very nice breakfast room with a good choice of continental breakfast items, beautifully laid out. Only downside was very limited choice of cooked food - only sausages and (poorish) scrambled eggs.

The hotel is typically French chic and in my opinion a beautiful old hotel in a perfect position within walking distance of all the delights of Angers.

Great room and had A/C given the heat was amazing. Given a bottle on arrival that can be used for the machine in the hallway offering Britt filtered water cold or warm as well as sparkling water. Wide selection of drinks offered as well as food had no need to leave to go elsewhere. Staff were friendly and informative.

Valerie and Laurent are wonderful hosts, and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. The Chateau is as perfect as a French House should be.
