Demeures de campagne Orleans Chemin de Sologne – Novotel

Novotel usually stands for consistent quality although without any fantasy. This one is an exception for the worse. Our "superior" room was dated, painted dark green and depressive without sufficient lighting and a view on a deteriorated parking lot. Rain shower was broken, no coffee in the room (only tea). Absolutely the worst value for money in my past 10 years of hotel experience. I assume the only reason why they have 4 stars is because of the swimming pool and the restaurant which probably has a good chef but poor staff (food was good quality but not served warm). There was a smell of waste bins in the garden and from the two EV charging points, one was completely broken down and unusable (the other being occupied continously). Staff was very helpful but absolutely junior both at the reception and in the restaurant.

We stayed as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) with half board €39. Its not clear when you book that this doesnt include the children. You have to pay extra for them which is surely a nonsense, why would the booking system assume we wouldnt feed the children. There are good fscilities for the kids, tennis, ping pong etc. Breakfast was shambolic with lots of things running out and the area being too small to cope with the number of families. Overall it was a nice stay.

It's a perfectly good family vacation place, not for business or serious travelers.

We staying on the way down and decided to stay on the way back as well. Really recommend for a family looking for a short stay.

So many fun options for kids: playground, games room, pool... it made for a great visit. Breakfast had lots of great options, but was often crowded and disorganized. We also had dinner in the restaurant, it was okay, but not great.

Very nice place for a stopover with the family, decent rooms and great public spaces, outdoor pool and grounds. Breakfast quality was excellent!

Newly refurbished, clean comfy rooms ideal for families. Nice pool area. Good breakfast.
