Hotel Noctuel - Blois

Stayed here for a long weekend to visit Cheverny and Blois Chateau's. The hotel looks a little dated but the owner and family were very hospitable and friendly, their professionalism and helpfulness were brilliant. The rooms were small, but the bed and shower were incredible - the comfortable bed was excellent, and the hot, powerful shower was better than several at high price new hotels. Also, there was very little noise, and an excellent wi-fi signal. (need to sign in everyday though). My partner was able to borrow a new hairdryer from reception and we used the microwave in the reception area on a few occasions - there is a retail park with a supermarket close by (and also several restaurants). We stayed for breakfast on our last morning and it was good value with several items to select from. This is definitely one hotel not to judge by its appearance - we would be happy to stay again.

Nice motel with odd but clean rooms that worked for our family. Friendly, helpful staff. There's nothing great in immediate area though it's a short drive to Blois and Amboise.
