L'HÔTEL de CHARTRES

Location, the quite sleeping in a lovely bed and our warm welcoming hosts. We were provided off road parking for a very reasonable €10 a night, but there is limited space and booking as an option only shows on the Logis Hotel chain website, maybe a request before arriving. Slightly difficult to find as it's behind but fronted by the Hotel l'Ecume, one block up on the right driving up Fauberg, through an entrance immediately past the l'Ecume.

Friendly receptionist; loved the wooden flooring; everything was very clean and the location is great as it's just 10min on foot to the center as well as the train station.

Melting in a 100-degree heat wave, we were pleased to realize we could still cancel our reservation for another hotel (without A/C ) about an hour before we were to have arrived and book this one instead, for not too much more expense. The lady who checked us in was so very kind and helpful, willing to use what she called her "little" (actually quite good) English to help us and even found a place to squeeze our car into their tiny lot (for only 7 euros, much better than the public lot). The triple room for the kids was quite nice with a sitting area and bathtub. Our double was not quite as big, but perfectly adequate.

Excellent central location. Good breakfast with enough choice to please everyone. Very pleasant and friendly owner in reception.

Everything was pleasant about this hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The receptionist recommended the light tour at night and it was magnificent. I highly recommend this establishment.
