Best Beaugency Hotels

The hotel is in an impressive building which could lend itself to an really inspiring experience. This was not the case. When we booked the hotel we noted that there was no lift and that the restaurant menu seemed quite limited. We arrived at about 1pm on a very hot day to find the hotel closed for lunch. This had to be ascertained by asking a lady leaving for her lunch break as there were no signs to indicate lunchtime closing. The hotel opened again at bout 2.30pm. The hotel has no lift but failed to mention the steep stairs from the car park to reception. It describes the car park as disabled accessible. I am not sure what this means? Certainly the spaces are so narrow as to make it very difficult to access the car. When the hotel opened, I stood at reception for 15 minutes before an employee appeared. There was no apology just the statement that he had been helping another guest with her wi-fi. I was informed that the restaurant was closed and only breakfast was available. The room was very good but has no air conditioning. It should be noted that the hotel is situated on a very busy junction with traffic movements, especially motorcycles, operating until the early hours. During our stay there was also a music concert on the banks of the river. This was very audible in our room. We did not stay for the, expensive, breakfast. Yes it is a spectacular building but is not welcoming and not for those expecting 3 star service or peace and quiet.

The Ecu de Bretagne ticks all the relevant boxes for a comfortable, well located hotel in a small attractive Loire Valley town. The rooms are large, well appointed and recently decorated, the aircon worked extremely well in this canicule and the pool is a real bonus. Easy on site parking. Generous breakfast, a bistro for dining with a limited menu, but there are lots of restaurants and bars to choose from in the town. The welcome is always warm and the staff are genuinely friendly. We have stayed here many times over the last 10 years, winter and summer, and have never been disappointed. Recommended.

Stopped here on our return to Blighty after a 7 hour journey from the deepest south, planned timing having gone a little awry due to personal ineptitude but in the end not a problem really. They have secure parking which is a must for me, coming from the crime riddled UK and working on the basis that everywhere must be at least as bad (not at all true). We’d noted on other reviews that the hotel is not necessarily going to attract passing trade by its looks which, now having seen it, is a fair comment, but really does belie the reality of what lies below the surface. This is a place that we will very definitely revisit both for the hotel, their food and the town. We arrived during rush hour it seemed and so had to recce the area before making a final approach when my co-pilot was launched to advise of our arrival. As a result, the large gates located to the right of the hotel were opened by the proprietor who assisted by halting the traffic whilst the rather narrow and unforgiving entrance was negotiated by my bus. The car park itself is located in a walled area and is indeed as advertised and as about as secure as it gets. There was a very pleasant welcome and we were guided to our ground floor, garden facing room which was modern, clean and well appointed (no tea and coffee facilities though which was a shame). There are possibly 10 or so rooms all facing the garden which is a large walled affair with a terrace/courtyard where meals can be enjoyed. Very pleasant, peaceful and relaxing particularly after a long journey. We’d booked for dinner which is only on offer to residents and was extremely good with a good choice of freshly prepared fare all for around E25 plus wine and coffee, each - bargain! Beaugency itself is a very pleasant, Loire side town and although we went for a wander after dinner, it deserves more exploration since there is bags of history in the town. We will definitely revisit after summer but this time plan it a little better. As regards the Le Beaugency hotel itself I would very definitely recommend a visit including the partaking of their dining facilities, all in all, extremely good value and a very enjoyable stay. The whole lot was just under E174 which included, comfy bed, lovely breakfast and superb evening meal which I’d regard as excellent value.

Etape pratique pour visiter des châteaux ou en voyage. Confort des chambres et de la literie Bon petit déjeuner L'hôtel est facile à trouver. L'accueil est sympathique. La chambre est très propre et silencieuse, les chambres ont un balcon avec 2 chaises et une table, ce qui permet d'agrandir la chambre, dont la taille est déjà correcte. L'hôtel possède quelques espaces verts, ce qui est agréable. Les parkings sont clos le soir, ce qui est rassurant.
