A great place to stay in the Loire
We really liked this very pretty and comfortablel hotel, we had a lovely time there, the pool was a welcome sight as it was hot while were there. The room was comfortable and very clean with a good shower etc. The restaurant was also really good. A special thank you to the ladies on reception for being so welcoming and helpful. We hope to return again soon. A small thing that would be nice in the room would be tea/coffee making facilities. We highly recommended this hotel.

Beautiful Lodging, Excellent Service
The reception staff were super helpful before and during our stay, advising us how to get to the hotel from the nearest train station (and recommending a cab company since they needed to be ordered in advance). We were warmly welcomed and super pleased with our rooms, which were beautiful, modern, well thought-out and very comfortable. The lounge areas were cozy and reflected the historic building that houses the hotel. Our dinner in the peaceful courtyard linking the hotel with its adjoining restaurant was delicious, and the service friendly. The breakfast buffet next morning was extensive and included cook-your-own soft-boiled eggs and the best croissants, plus (house-made?) lox salmon. The only downside was that the hot weather required us to sleep with our windows open. Unfortunately, this subjected us to the noise from the restaurant kitchen as the staff finished tidying up after closing. If we'd been able to keep our windows closed, it wouldn't have been an issue. Other than that, I can't say enough good things about this delightful hotel.

Escape in the Loire Valley
Great location for visiting vineyards in the Loire Valley. The room was comfortable and had character. There was a small pool on-site with lovely gardens / flowers. The restaurant served very high quality food and English was spoken throughout.

Excellent hotel and restaurant
Amazing couple of nights at Hostellerie La Croix Blanche. Beautiful location on a lovely little typically French square with outdoor tables. Perfectly placed for day trips to near by chateaux and towns. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant both nights and the food was absolutely exquisite and astonishingly good value for money. Would highly recommend staying here for the food alone. 10/10 visit.

Stayed for 1 night with my husband & two frends. Overnight stop to break the journey home to England from the Dordogne. Our room was no 19 & ok apart from the toilet not flushing properly but our friends had to change their room as their shower did not work at all. The rooms are a bit dated & could do with a facelift ! On the other hand, we ate in the hotel restaurant that night & the food was exceptionally good. €29 for 3 fantastic courses . So I would definitly eat there again.

Lovely hotel, friendly, quiet and well situated.
Friendly staff who all spoke English well. Well situated next to the abbey which is well worth a visit. Room was clean and quiet, but had no tea making facilities. Car parking was behind hotel and initially difficult to find. Restaurant served excellent food. Would return without hesitation.

The machine that would check you in rejected three Credit Cards; all of which were good. This required me to call the owner that had us wait ten more minutes. He was good and took care of the problem, but none of this would have e been required if his machine had worked.

Only average!
Rooms were VERY dull! The first one we were shown was a very dull dark brown and had very little natural light. It was also stiflingly hot. To get more natural light we had to upgrade, which, as it was a fairly pricey hotel anyway, was not what we were looking to do. Our 'upgraded' room turned out to be above a store room which staff used, quite noisily, as late as 23.00 and as early as 6.30am, a bit of a pain. The breakfast was ok, but they had to go out and buy extra croissant every morning, which seemed a bit daft. Evening meal was very good on both times we went there.

Good hotel in lovely setting.
Stayed here for two days . Ideal location for cycling the Loire. Set in a picturesque courtyard. Not sure when we approached hotel car park as you drive through a housing estate, but when you walk out of front of hotel we were pleasantly surprised. Didn't eat in hotel cycled down to Montersareau which was ideal for us. Breakfast good though. Also had a pool which we needed as it was really hot when we stayed so ideal to use at end of day.
