The location. The secure parking. The direct access from room to parked car, via lift and closeness between room and parking. The helpful staff. The proximity to famous Chateau and shops and restaurants. The range of interior and exterior seating areas. The advice and assistance to ensure a succesful Monday (when most places are closed) Dinner with a seriously good bottle of Bourgueil wine.

Nothing in regards to the Hotel, but a word of warning that at least one of the nearby restaurants serve very inadequate Loire wine, which, without are subsequent experience the following evening (see above) would have seriously distorted our opinion of what the area had to offer.

Perfect location in Azay le Rideau. Excellent private car parking. Exceptional welcome from Vincent on arrival in fact all the staff were exceptional in ensuring the stay went as we hoped. Perfect breakfast facilities. Location was ideal for touring the Loire Valley and visiting chateaus, in fact there is one just a short walk from the Hotel. Surrounded by some excellent restaurants all needs catered for.

The location is a delight for those looking for a quiet, relaxed experience in the Loire! The breakfast is amazing, and the staff are exceptional. In fact, our shower was having difficulty draining, and it was fixed right away. We really appreciate that level of care! It’s a 2-minute walk to Château d'Azay-le-Rideau and around the corner, there’s a surprising gem of a restaurant we happened to walk into for lunch, l’Aigle d’Or. We arrived at the tail-end of a whirlwind trip around London and France, and it was just the atmosphere we needed to unwind.

Great location, in the heart of the village, a few minutes walk from one of the most beautiful chateau in France. Very clean, thoughtfully designed room for disabled travellers (my husband is blind), very comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, easy access via lift. Didn't have time to explore the rest of the hotel - we had breakfast in the village - but beautiful old building cleverly modernised.

There were some very noisy guests but that wasn't the hotel's fault though perhaps more thought to soundproofing ?(I did wear earplugs!)

all was perfect. lovely village with great brasseries. Room was spacious and clean and still very castle authentic. The staff was very helpful. breakfast was simple but good.

getting your suitcases to the room is easy once in the hotel but a bit difficult from the car into the hotel as you have to bridge a courtyard with pebbles

Very nicely refurbished hotel with excellent secure car parking. Good breakfast and nice garden to sit and enjoy a glass of wine. In the centre of Azay. Very calm, discreet and friendly staff.

Nothing really: to get to the car parking you need a pass so it is good to call as you are arriving. Or park nearby (tricky) to call in for it. As a solo traveller this is a little frustrating but I don’t think there is another way to do it.

Our room, at the lower end of the price range, was spacious and well equipped, featuring some older furniture as well as modern. It was very quiet, despite the town being very busy with a night street fair... Parking was in a secure location very close to the hotel, and we were met there by the receptionist, before being able to access it with our room card. The hotel has been very carefully restored, with older features sitting comfortably alongside very modern facilities (check out the glorious stairs - beautifully designed and made!). The hotel has lots of space, including a large courtyard area where you can sit, with breakfast served in a spacious dining room. We are often disappointed by breakfast options in France, but here they were very good. There are some light dining options but there are great restaurants a very short stroll away: we ate in the marvellous L'Epine which is just across the square.

Honestly, nothing.

I arrived on a motorcycle during the recent very hot period. The staff could not do enough for me to get securely parked up and out of the heat. The air-con in the room was very welcome considering the extreme heat.

I only got to stay one night and would like to return with my wife next time

We are a family with two children (12 and 10 yrs old). We stayed for 5 nights at two double rooms. Rooms are very comfortable (beds were extremely comfortable) and very clean with pleasant design. we had a nice breakfast. we used the property parking offered in a very descent price. And not less important, the staff and especially Eric were very kind and helpful - providing us with lots of info about restaurants (and booking for us) and the surrounding points of interest. Azay-le-Rideau is a nice small town/village with some good restaurants near the hotel. I would say there are many attractions with a reasonable drive around (up to 1 hour) Thank you for enjoying vacation.

The hotel staff was lovely at the Grand Monaque, which is smaller boutique type hotel right in the center of Azay-Le-Rideau. The accommodations were exactly as we anticipated, and the hotel was particularly helpful securing us private parking just behind the hotel. Highly recommend!
