Best Western Blois Chateau

We had a quiet room, not a bad size. Great bakery/coffee shop right next door. Short-ish walk to town and chateau. Stayed for 2 nights. This is all i have to say but Tripadvisor demands 200 plus words so here they are. less

We picked the hotel as a last minute booking for our drive North through France. Staff very attentive, room was spacious for a family room and quiet with air conditioning. Easy walk into Blois Centre. Parking limited to payant on street and train station opposite. Breakfast busy and room full so had to wait, but staff very attentive and restocked, sorted tables straight away. Hotel is above shops and cafes, so a classic central hotel, kind of expected more from the pics and name. Other than that it was one of the best overnight stops we had stayed in. less

We asked for a silent room and our room was in a very silent mansard with characteristic exposed beams in the ceiling, which however are at head height and require attention. The air conditioner was powerful and silent, all was clean and well maintained. The bathroom was rather small but comfortable. The hotel is ten-minute walking distance to the castle and twenty-minute to the pedestrian zone. A minor problem was that the elevator does not reach the mansard. A strong point of this hotel is Mr. Olivier, who you can find at the reception from morning to evening; he can give you all kinds of information, both on the town and its surroundings and on France in general. If you are not in a hurry a chat at the reception is advisable. less

Location is excellent across from train station. For our one night stay the 2 managers were varied in level of professionalism - one quite good another who was not interested in assisting. Rooms are small but expected for this area, air conditioning was strong and is a plus. Accessibility: there is one small lift which worked well. Step up into shower.To visit the chateau in Blois will be an uphill walk ~10 minutes. less

The manager is not professional, service oriented or easy to work with. I do not suggest staying here. The The manager is aggressive, rude and he overbilled me. I was very uncomfortable being in the same building with him! less
