Hotels near Vitrail & Co, Orleans

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!

Hotel close to the close centre, 10 minutes walk to the cathedral. Easy access from the railway station. I travel with a small baggage so for me it was a nice walk. Helpful service, you can get everything in English. The reception is open in certain hours, shorter during weekends and holidays, so you need to learn a few procedures, and if you arrive outside the reception hours, the hotel sends a very accurate instruction. It is a hotel where guests clean the Annex, download the garbage and take the garbage to the containers at -1 level.

The location is a bit off. It's a lot more convenient if you drive a car. The whole is ok, but the breakfast is very average. Maybe we eat it a little later, but it is all at nine o'clock. Even the basic eggs and ham are not supplied. There is a little regret 𪩸😡

The hotel room is divided into about two rows, there is a row close to the rails,  The train will be a bit noisy after passing by.  The hotel parking lot is very wide and the car distance is very large.  Parking is very convenient.

After a challenging drive to Saran from Paris, I appreciated the extra effort that Elena at the front desk provided when I checked in. She was quite knowledgeable about nearby tourists sights and showed an interest in my activities during my stay. She also provided information about restaurants in the area. Fluent in three languages, verbal communication with her was no problem. The room and hotel met my expectations, as the room was clean and comfortable. Kitchen facilities were also available on another floor. Parking was free and conveniently on site. My only disappointment was that I couldn't return to stay there again.

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.
