A lovely place to stay whilst in Chinon. Excellent pristine room and bathroom. Access to an outside patio obviously loved and well cared for. Breakfast was great too. Locally produced products of the best quality served well and with care. Wine they stock was fabulous as well. Fair price for fine quality. Staff were courteous and friendly. A calm and gentle place to stay.

Don’t. Just don’t book here if you want a comfortable stay. Nice couple owns this …but it’s outdated and not a comfortable sleep. Pillow are crappy u comfortable,bed okay and the room smells. Was trying to decide if the smell was pot smoked in room - a pesticide sprayed or just moldy mildew smell in there. I was on a Rick Steve’s tour there so did not pick it his hotel - but would not go there on my own, and will critique it in my your review. There had to be a nicer place in town. They need to up there game - people on vacation want a comfortable smell free room

This hotel in a historic old building was located well in the city center but was nice and quiet. The breakfast was one of the best we had in France. Croissants, bread, jams, cheese and the patio seating was great. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the building itself was a treat to wonder around in. The staff were polite and attentive.

We had a lovely two-night stay at Hotel Diderot. The building, garden and terrace are stunning. Inside is a little creaky as others have said but so full of character. Our room had beautiful old furniture and a view across the courtyard. Comfortable bed though, and we were glad of the fan - nicer than aircon and more than enough to keep us cool. We also had a spotless modern bathroom. We had bikes with us so were very happy about the secure parking - we parked the car in a nearby street and chained the bikes up in the courtyard. The location is excellent - on a quiet street just a short walk from the town centre. The staff are lovely - they speak great English and have good advice about the surrounding area. Overall, a lovely hotel we would highly recommend.

Pros -- lovely breakfast breads, nice courtyard area for drinks, good location for exploring Chinon, fan in room. Cons -- the annex rooms were disappointing, musty smell in main house rooms, lots of rules, could be more welcoming, no eggs and very little protein at breakfast.

Lovely hotel in a 15th century building, so there are a lot of creaks, but that adds to the experience. It was easy to get to and we chanced upon a high school band competition at the church across the street which was so much fun. The staff was friendly, the majority of them spoke English. The breakfast was ample, with plenty of bread, pastries, yogurt, cheese, meats and their specialty of homemade jams.

We were shown to our room up the creaky stairs with the padded walls. The bedroom floor was equally creaky and the furniture looked like something from the Antiques Roadshow. The bed was like a concrete slab. No fire doors. There was no kettle or tea/coffee making facilities and no room service so I had to go down from the second floor to get it from reception myself. Bizarrely, the bathroom appears to be modern and bright. Equally bizarre was the USP of 50 jams and marmalades available for breakfast which was just about ok. Front gates are locked at 9pm, entry gained through back door up a side alley, and there is an outside telephone number to call if you need anything.

The setting is attractive and the room, relatively well equipped, is fine. The bathroom is unexpectedly luxe. They do have an odd and annoying policy. They have onsite parking but lock the gate at 9:00pm. If you walked to dinner, you must walk to the back of the hotel and let yourself in. If you drove, You are locked out…what then. It reminds me of a school dormatory.
