Perfect choice for a two-night stay in Tours to visit chateaux of the Loire Valley by train. I chose the hotel for its location: quiet but a 5-minute walk from the Tours station. It was extremely convenient; I took trains easily to and from Onzain/Chaumont and Chenonceaux the two mornings of my stay. When I checked out, I left my luggage at the hotel and was able to retrieve it quickly before my train back to Paris.
The hotel was also well situated for visiting Tours: within 10 minutes, you can walk to the cathedral and the river. On the way (5 minutes from the hotel), I recommend stopping into the garden of the Musée des Beaux Arts, which is very peaceful! From the cathedral, you can walk 10 minutes to the center of the old town for a plethora of restaurants and the lively outdoor night life of this university town.
Though close to the station, the hotel is in a peaceful side street and very calm. There was no noise either from other rooms or from the street - I slept very well! The room (double for single use, on the top floor) and bathroom were spacious by European hotel standards and looked better than the photo on the website. To my pleasant surprise, there was an elevator. Only caveat: I'm a woman of average height (167 cm/5'6) and hit my head badly on the low sloping ceiling when I made the mistake of trying to sit in a chair in the corner. If you're tall, watch out for the beams and irregular ceiling angles on the top floor!
