The Originals Boutique, Hotel le George , Loches

This is a very attractive place to stay. The building and the surroundings are beautiful; the rooms are very pleasant; the staff are helpful; breakfast was good and prices are reasonable.

This was our third and we have both agreed final trip to the Hotel George Sand. A hotel which we had always found to be a good stay over between the north coast and our house in the Midi. What previously had been enjoyable quirks with this hotel became a real pain on this trip. There was a feeling that something had changed since our last visit in late April and the heart of the hotel and the team who ran it and the attached restaurant was missing. The whole stay was a catalogue of minor and Major mishaps, including being told the lift was not working and carrying bags up a narrow spiral stone staircase two flights, when it was, a shower cubicle which like many in older French hotels, requires you to be a contortionist to enter. Others though do not collapse upon you when you are in them and then jam open for the next occupant. The evening restaurant service was rushed and they were clearly training a new member of staff who was then left alone to attend to us, lack of team work. This then led to a mix up on our order, However the thing which really riled us both was the breakfast or should I say the lack of it, we were asked at what time we wanted breakfast and this was agreed at 8:00, we had also said that we would move our dinner booking not to clash with a large group. So at 8;00 we arrived to the breakfast room, tables unlaid, no coffee or tea, limited buffet of dried fruit and yoghurt and nothing else. Except for every single member of the large group. .

The hotel is a few minutes walk from the old town so excellent location. Parking is behind and free but first in basis (we didn’t have an issue but it’s off season). All the staff we met were very helpful and friendly, noting some don’t speak English ( but that’s half the fun!). Downstairs is the dining area for breakfast which is a typical French buffet. The restaurant also serves lunch and dinner. We had dinner once night and it was lovely. Our room had a comfortable bed, small table and chairs, coffee and water. A small cupboard for clothes and a good size en-suite. This is an old building so don’t expect mod cons. The stairs are very narrow, there is a lift but it’s really more for luggage, and floorboards squeak, things are old. That’s part of the charm.

Very well restored, only thing I’m missing was there is no airconditioning, it gets hot in your bedroom.

WE arrived after a 7 hr drive north through France , to a good welcome . We were in room 103 , which is the special disabled room which we would recommend if possible as it is was huge . The bathroom alone was bigger than the room we stayed in last time. The bed was extremely comfortable and the hotel is quiet with an excellent restaurant. We are already going to book for our next return to the UK in October

Despite we spent only one night, we would've loved to stay more. The hosts were very welcoming and the place next to the river was so nice. The breakfast was excellent and we really recommand this hotel

The hotel is well located below the city walls. A nice walk up the hill and you're in the centre of things. Our room though compact did what was needed and had a nice view of the river below and park beyond. Sadly as it was a Sunday the restaurant was closed, a pity as it looked nice. Parking close by. Overall, does the job well at a good price.

Fantastic hotel in beautiful location. Situated within medieval streets with a small stream running at the back of the hotel.

Lovely gem of a hotel with a good restaurant attached a perfect stop over on our way through France from the south to the Normandy channel ports. Situated n the pretty town of Loches which is good for a wander around the fantastic streets.
