This was our 1st trip through the Loire Valley. Since we toured around with our own vehicle, we were free to choose amongst the many hotels and B&B's in the region. A few factors led us to stay at Le Grand Monarque: location en route driving west to east; the great reviews; cost; pet-friendly. We travelled as a married couple... More

The Staff is extremely pleasant, on arrival of a group of 25 or so, they remained patient, friendly and very helpful. The rooms are beautifully decorated to a high standing. The food is presented with style and the wine (I could never have enough) was delicious. The hotel is in a quiet area, a few minutes from the chateau and... More

On arrival at the hotel we were very warmly greeted. A large group of walkers had just arrived but were despatched to their rooms very quickly and efficiently. We were offered a normal room but decided to upgrade to one of the exclusive rooms. The man on the reception spoke very good English and immediately carried our two large suitcases... More

My wife and I, along with our daughter and grandson, stayed at this hotel for three nights. It is nicely located in the middle of a small town and less than 200 feet from the Chateau. The rooms were spacious and clean and the service was warm and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and the dinners at the restaurant were... More

13 of us stayed September 2011. Rooms, owner, staff, food fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly recommend this hotel for individuals and groups. Will definitely stay again when in the region. The chateau in the town is one of the best. Town festival also on during our visit - good. Many thanks to all at the hotel.

Our room (Chartreuse) was spacious with a queen size bed. The bathroom was also huge but let down by a cheap but large vanitory unit. There was nowhere to fix the shower over the bath but other than those two minor issues it was a very good hotel and the service was exemplary. Off street parking was available as was... More

Our first stop on our 3 week holiday in France and it'll be hard to beat! The staff were very welcoming and friendly, the room was stunning - vey clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was delicious and more than adequate, and very reasonably priced. The hotel is centrally located in the town and easily accessible with a free car... More

On our Loire cycling tour, we tried to find the most fun and unique places to stay. This wasn't one of them. It was a standard hotel. It was clean, well staffed, comfortable, and reasonably well renovated. As hotels go, you could do a lot worse. But it was easily the least interesting place we stayed during our time in... More

This hotel is in a charming town with lovely restaurants and buildings. Le Grand Monarque sits in the middle of the town. We are a family of five and we stayed in the family room with a queen sized bedroom attached to a three bed (twins) room. It was very comfortable and spacious. We loved that the family could be...
