Hôtel du Manoir

A quiet little hotel tucked away in a side street only a few minutes walk from the stunning cathedral and a few minutes further from the Rue Colbert which is full of bars and restaurants. Parking is available in the tiny courtyard by pre-booking. I received a friendly welcome and was directed to a room on the third floor at the top of the building which was small but completely adequate for a solo traveller. Without air conditioning the room was hot and stuffy but keeping the electric fan on all night made it quite acceptable. Decent continental breakfast.

Tours is notorious for poor hotel parking so we telephoned this hotel prior to booking to confirm that parking was available, which they confirmed, so we booked a non refundable room rate at the hotel only to receive an email with the confirmation of booking that there was no parking available! We telephoned to query this and was treated to a very angry women who was not prepared to discuss the fact that we had previously telephoned to confirm the parking availability insisting there would be no parking for us upon arrival. Booking .com kindly managed to arrange a full credit for the hotel's failure to honour the contract. Beware as the hotel was still advertising parking availability for accommodation on the same day we had booked.

This is a truly charming little hotel on a tranquil street in Tours. Meticulously clean and well maintained, it is in an old manor house, on a lovely street. The hotel has a little courtyard and sits behind a traditional European wall and gate, into which a few cars, bicycles, and such can be kept by visitors. Guests can enjoy the little table outside for reading and the courtyard is charming with hydrangeas and other flowers. The room itself was small, but I was just by myself, so it was definitely sufficient. Everything is very clean and nice. The only drawback is a lack of air conditioning, so if this is important to the traveler, than one would need to think about that on hot summer days. I was fine with it, as there was a fan and an open window, even on a very unusually hot summer day, on the top floor. Breakfast is provided for a reasonable fee and consists of wonderful, fresh croissants, yogurt, and such. The hotel is in a wonderful area of old manor houses from the 1700 and 1800's. It is just wonderful to walk through the neighborhood and the hotel is very near the cathedral, which is just down the street. Wonderful, quaint place and a true European experience!

J ai aimé le cadre Le personnel Le patron Et le service Je recommande fortement Tres proche du centre-ville a deux pas de la gare Établissement tres propre Salle des petits déjeuner tres agréable Et avec beaucoup de choix Parking pour garer la voiture les vélos et motos

Petit hôtel du centre-ville, très intimiste et calme avec une grande proximité à toutes les activités du centre-ville, le «patron» est parfait ; le petit déjeuner est servit dans le sous-sol qui est en pierre et voûté / parking à moins de 50 mètres ; literie et Sdb exemplaires de propreté ; j’y reviendrai c’est clur !
