The choice of this hotel, five minutes' walk from Tours central railway station, was a last minute decision. Formerly called Hotel Harmonie, all the street signs marked "Hotel Harmonie" point to its location one small block away from the gare SNCF in the centre of town. I say "gare SNCF" (French Railways) because most high-speed TGV trains only stop at... More

This hotel is walking distance to the station and restaurants. I stayed here 2 years ago and was delighted with the recent refurbishments. The décor is very modern and the bedding very comfortable. The heated towel rack in the bathroom was a welcome addition as it was unusually cold when we visited in April. Pleasant and helpful staff and a... More

This is very close to Tours station and an easy walk to the old part of town and the main restaurant street. My room was very comfortable and I slept well although a bit jet lagged. Breakfast was very good with good French patisseries...my favorite! No views or anything to speak of but a nice place to stay.

I chose this hotel because it was exceptionally close to the train station (1 block) and had a really good off-season special price of 45 Euros per night. The first night was uncomfortable because the temperature dropped to 5 degrees (C) - the first cold snap of the season - and my heater did not work. Two people at the... More

Very nice staff, large and nicely decorated room. The location is very good, in a quiet street right in the centre of Tours. Underground parking for hotel guests (not for big cars!).

A small but very accommodating hotel quite near the Tours Railway Station. Just a stroll to the old part of the city and good restaurants nearby. Staff very friendly and helpful and breakfasts very good. Single beds in our room was a little disappointing, but we managed. Rooms quite spacious and very clean.

Convenient location on a quiet street that is little more than 100 yards from the train station and tourist office and a 15 minute walk from the town centre and main tourist attractions. Our room was a double on the third floor, which was a good size with a comfortable bed and a sizeable bathroom with tub and shower. It... More

10 mins from the old town and the best restaurants, the location allows quick entrance and exit to and from the town. Garage and street parling availible. Well kept rooms all with names rather than numbers. Reasonable self service breakfast. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable of the area. A treat is if a party of Far Eastern tourists arrive ,with...

Room was amazingly dingy. No air conditioner. No ventilation. We we forced to keep window open at night on first floor, raising security concerns. Bed was unacceptably uncomfortable. No mini-bar, but worst or all we didn't have a shower or bath in our room, pretentiously called Lute. Instead we had hose in the middle of asphalt floor bathroom which we... More

Seriously, after the tiny, battered boxes that pass for budget hotel rooms in Paris, this place was paradise. For a little over 80 euros a night, we got a large twin room with private bath and central air conditioning. The bathroom was spacious, sleek, clean, and actually had a bathtub! I never heard noise from the neighbors or the adjacent... More
