Hotels near Château de la Source, Orleans

This is a wonderful hotel with exceptional staff. We were greeted most warmly and with the news that a festival was taking place (Indeed it was very busy and parking a little tricky.) Our rooms were comfortable and well equipped. We were lucky enough to be overlooking the river. My only reason for not giving top marks is that the bathroom is virtually in the room with a wall stopping short of the ceiling. We had our evening meal here which was part of the 'street food' vibe of the evening and although the service was slow our waiter was charming and attentive. The bed was very comfortable with nice bed linen. The breakfast, although pricey at €24, was delicious with a real variety of choice. Also be aware that the parking is €17 a night. Would I stay here again, most definitely!

Awful, expensive, overpriced and small rooms. Parking 15 euros which came as a surprise as not noted on website. Double room tiny and bed felt like a small double as for 140.00 a room a night it's ridiculously overpriced, room so tiny couldn't move. Bed hard and uncomfortable, like sleeping on a slab of concrete. View was of a roof and outside air con unit. Tiny window, dark room. No milk in room for coffee and I booked three rooms and no milk or supplies in other rooms neither. No cups in rooms just a couple of paper ones in the bathroom. No tea bags, they supply tea leaves but no strainer. All just pointless, poor customer care and disappointing. I complained to reception about room size, no milk, cups, teabags and was basically told tough. I asked if I could be moved FOC but told no, even though there were rooms available. Deposit of 50 euros taken per room for damages. Just avoid, looks all nice and well furnished in the pictures but this hotel is really not worth the money, time nor experience.

My husband booked this hotel as a treat for my birthday. Unfortunately, our ‘superior’ room was on the third floor-definitely not a treat when the stairs are extremely vertiginous, there is no lift, and the birthday you are hoping to celebrate in one piece is your 70th! The room was pleasant, with a pretty decor, beautiful fabric lined walls, and interesting vintage furniture, yet rather cramped. It wasn’t possible to fully open the bathroom door as the bed was in the way. This made the room slightly oppressive; a great pity when so much thought had clearly gone into other design features. Nonetheless, the bathroom was more spacious, as well as being modern, spotless and neat. Although it’s in a good location, I would recommend establishing which floor your room will be on before you book this hotel. Walking downstairs is a truly terrifying experience and I have no doubt there are much nicer rooms than the one we stayed in!

The hotel is directly opposite the Orleans Central Railway Station and the second floor of the train. The hotel is directly connected to the hotel via the second floor platform. The waiter was warm and the room was clean and tidy. The only problem was that the room was small and the luggage table in the room was small. I could only put the box on the ground, and then I had to cross the box to cross...

The hotel price is really nothing to say, clean and tidy, there is a microwave oven, basic kitchenware, you can cook for yourself. The only thing that is not so good is that there is some noise around. I don't know if it is a special situation or something. I have been clearing the trash can to collect the trash can in the early morning. It is really noisy and noisy. There is also a loud noise in the hotel refrigerator, but the overall is good.

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.
