Grand Hôtel de l'Abbaye

本次入主城堡的8號房，擁有完美的窗外河景，自然的水流白噪音完全可以蓋過汽車發出聲響。夜晚房外的廊燈是漸亮式的假火炬燈，在偌大且黑暗的環境中顯得有些不足，畢竟為了省電而改成感應式，屬實就有點嚇人的氣氛。冬天入住房內的固定式供暖設備過於老舊，因此熱度永遠上不去，建議自衣櫃中取出可移動式暖爐，避免夜晚裡凍僵了！

Très beau bâtiment, à l’extérieur et dans les espaces communs. Personnel aux petits soins, très gentil serviable, souriant et sympathique. Dommage pour la propreté pas au top, la chambre pas du tout insonorisée et assez vieillotte, et pas de climatisation.

We stayed in this beautiful Abbey on the way home to NL via France from north of Spain. What a pretty town on the banks of the Loire. We had a beautiful room with a lovely ensuite. We enjoyed dinner in the hotel restaurant, fantastic local cuisine with delicious wine. Quite a romantic spot and definitely worth trying.

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.

A wonderful atmosphere & location..unique accommodation and lounges. It would be good to have access to a guest self serve coffee & tea facility in one of the lounges

After 2 weeks of covid on our holiday we arrived at this beautiful hotel for a stop on our journey home. We were stunned by the location, welcome and rooms. Breakfast was excellent and we enjoyed a stroll around this charming town, ancient church and history. Ian Fleming was right to say you should see Beaugency before you die. It was the best bit of our holiday.

My first visit to this grandiose establishment and I’d certainly return. Staff friendly and welcoming, breakfast impressive. A pity my room was dusty and a little “tired” but overall a pleasant stay.

Very charming property though it is a bit old and tired (what do you expect in an Abbaye?) Bed was comfortable and this forgives all. Was a cute place to stay.
