Saumur Hotels with Airport pickup service

Stayed at this small hotel while touring Loire Valley. It’s a good location for accessing various castles in the area(Saumur castle was closed day we were there). Saumur is a pleasant little town with a medieval center worth an hour of walking. The hotel was pleasant enough but not particularly luxurious. We had a 3rd floor attic room which was large. We found the bed a bit hard but that’s subjective. Bathroom was nice but beware a big step up to get into the tub might be an issue for those with mobility problems. The room was too warm even though it wasn’t hot outside. We could not locate an individual thermostat. Agree with those who recommend getting parking but beware it is in a very cramped courtyard. Breakfast was very nice. I’m not sure there are any other more upscale properties in. Saumur so would probably stay here again. It certainly was priced very reasonably

We spend 2 nights at the Chateau in August as part of a cycling holiday. It was the only 5 star hotel we stayed in that week and we were slightly disappointed by it. The town is beautiful, the chateau itself incredibly impressive but the thing we felt let it down was the attitude of the owner. We arrived before check in and whilst we understand that rooms (especially during Covid) can't necessarily be ready early, he really didn't make us feel welcome. He showed us where to put our bikes and somewhere to change, but we weren't offered a toilet or water or anything! He suggested a couple of places we could try for lunch which was helpful, but it would have been really great if he could have suggested (given there was no one around) that we came back when we were ready and could perhaps have spent time by the pool or sitting in the garden until our rooms were ready. That just didn't happen. The receptionist and the owner's wife were both incredibly helpful and friendly, and she showed us a lovely album of photos of the chateau through the years, but it really felt like he didn't want to have guests there! Our rooms were clean and decorated but I'm afraid the air conditioning units just weren't powerful enough to combat the August heat this year. I appreciate that they are high ceilinged rooms and it is an old building, but we really needed additional fans. We all found it uncomfortably hot. And I see from other reviews that this is a common theme. Perhaps just big free standing fans to offer during very hot periods in addition to the air conditioning? And perhaps putting the air conditioning on full before guests arrive to cool down the rooms, whereas our rooms were pretty boiling when we arrived. The pool area and communal areas of the hotel are again lovely and we appreciated staying in them. It felt like a really historical experience, especially having chatted to the owner's wife and understood the history of the house and the family that built it. It was fascinating! My final piece of advice is to watch out for additional drinks on your bill. We were presented with a bill for 170 euros (with no itemisation) on departure after two nights, and whilst that may well have been correct, when we queried it with the owner and said 'that seems high, is it definitely right' his response was simply 'yes' rather than saying anything like 'yes it is, would you like to see it itemised'? So we left with a slightly disappointed feeling that we might have been overcharged. As I say, this may not have been the case but he didn't offer to explain it in any way. So would I recommend the hotel. Yes I would for the building, the location, the facilities and the majority of people you will meet there (as long as it isn't too hot!). But do not expect a great welcome from the owner, and was it a 5 star welcome? No, certainly not.

Very disappointed with the room. The washed floor was still wet because the planks were lifting and water was trapped underneath and it never dried out overnight. So the room smelt musky and I had to use lots of lavender room spray. There was no cover on the extraction fan in the bathroom and the water was leaking into the cistern and made the electric pump empty the system spasmodically throughout the night. The bathroom wall tiles were old and stained and the paint on the wall was peeling and the plaster was coming off next to the bath. It was a ground floor room with only one door coming off the car park- noisy cars coming and going. Most of the hotels have a small entrance- porch on the room- two doors. I actually stayed in this hotel last year in a different block in an upstairs room and that was fine. I should have booked it with *********** as they would have charged me only £65. Since I am a member and was going to save 10% I booked directly online. 91€ was an extortionate price to pay for such poor quality accommodation. I made a complaint to Campanile and they said they were sorry and hoped we would stay with them again. How can you tell if your room is going to be fine -like it has on every other occasion during the last 30+ years? I won’t be booking with them again.

An average hotel with not much services.

Echoing the equestrian art and world of the Manege des Ecuyers, enjoy a relaxing stay at the Mercure Saumur on the banks of the Loire. Some of our bedrooms have a direct view of river. Enjoy breakfast or a glass of local wine from the panoramic terrace on the river with a view of the old town. Our hotel also ensures your relaxation thanks to its well being area including gym and sauna.

This is a business hotel on the edge of town. That said the reception were very efficient and welcoming. The room was fairly standard but with everything that you needed. The air-con was very efficient. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The bar staff were also very friendly and welcoming as were the restaurant staff. We ate in the hotel and the food. Even on the set menu was very good and well prepared and presented. Wines were modestly priced if you choose wines from the Loire area. Breakfast was a buffet but copious and delicious. I would use this hotel again were I to visit Saumur in the future.

Firstly this hotel is in a great location and only a ten minute walk to the centre. The receptionist and the woman who was in charge of breakfast were both great. The room however was in desperate need of refurbishment. Initially our air conditioning wasn't working but the receptionist (she seemed to be doubling up as maintenance) came up and replaced/cleaned the filter and it was fine after that. The bathroom was a mess. Someone has decided to paint the area around the sink with brown paint that isn't waterproof. Everything that touched it (toothbrushes, towels, shaver, etc,) came away stained. I mentioned this at checkout but the receptionist didn't seem surprised or particularly interested. I suspect she knows about it. Breakfast was fine. Private parking is very tight. If you have a larger car I wouldn't bother, I'd stick to the street outside. We have a VW Golf and it was difficult to manoeuvre in and out. Oh then there's the price. We were quoted 11 euros on arrival, then 10 euros on checkout. My wife then pointed out it says 9 euros on the tariff notice in reception and that suddenly became the price! Overall then the hotel is in a good position but in need of some investment. Its a long way past its best

Résidence piétonne au calme avec ses avantages : - les enfants peuvent librement circuler en vélo car pas de voitures ( parking à l'entrée et personne ne rentre sauf PMR) - pas de bruit mais des inconvénients : - voiture indispensable car loin de tous ( rien ne peut se faire à pied) - si votre logement est au bout de la résidence , il faudra marcher 5 minutes pour aller au parking ( pas facile pour charger et décharger les bagages surtout avec des enfants) Nous avons bien aimé : - la piscine couverte chauffée et plutôt profonde ( top ! ) - la petite aire de jeu pour enfants qui peut rendre service - la vente de bouteilles et de carte postale à l'accueil En terme de points positifs , les caves principales de Saumur sont immédiatement accessibles en voiture. Ca reste une résidence de tourisme : il faut faire le ménage avant de partir , il faut faire les lits en arrivant , et même selon la formule les louer ! Pour notre séjour , la literie n'était pas géniale : 2 lits simples côte à côte Bref , on sait que cette résidence existe , on y reviendra si besoin est mais ce ne sera pas notre choix numéro 1

The hotel is just opposite the train station, which is very convenient for people who come to me and carry a big bag very late. The room is small and it is a bed, even the table is active. Same, no slippers, no toothbrushes. But the room was clean and there were not many breakfasts, but it was okay. Saumur estimates that no one has a special trip like me, if I really have a train like this. Can be considered, because it is just opposite the station, it is too convenient. Play back and take a bag and set off for the next stop!
