we were delighted to find this little gem on our way down to the Dordogne last week. I do loe to find something other than the usual soulesss chains. This place has real charm. I would definitely recomment it to anyone who likes a personal touch and charm from a hotel even if it is only an overnight. The dining... more

if you are looking for a central place to stay with a personal touch this is a very good choice. The staff is friendly and helpful, the hotel is an old building but our room was very clean.

We stayed here in April for one night as we toured the Loire valley in April 2009. We found the location to be convenient, less than five minutes walk from the Orleans train station. We arrived early, but the hostess allowed us to check-in. She was gracious and spoke English. Our room was a charming room on the second floor... more

The location was great - very near the train station so we didn't have to carry our bags very far. It was right on a pedestrian shopping street and only a few minutes' walk... more

One of those older European hotels that remind you that there are more interesting and homey places to stay than Holiday Inns (or Ibises). Reasonable rates, good downtown location, a smallish room with nice furnishings, a small bathroom. Set on a pedestrian street within a short walk of the cathedral, museums, and restaurants. The only drawback was some street noise... more
