Hôtel du Manoir
Last minute booking based on other reviews. The two guys are great, the hotel is so pretty (and convenient) the room was comfortable and breakfast and farewell spot on. I loved it.

Hôtel du Cygne (Tours)
Great position. Great vibe. You’re metres from an amazing eat street and 15 minutes walk from the old city. Breakfast was fine, no hot options. The downstairs room smelled weird, a strange cementy, catch in the back of your throat sort of thing. We asked for deodoriser, nothing came.
