Overall Ratings & Reviews Novotel Blois Centre Val de Loire

It was very central to everything. They gave us secure parking for our motorbikes. Staff were very friendly and helpfull. Rooms were spotless and shower was perfect. Very central for touring the loire valley area. Highly recommend a stay here. 10 out of 10

That hotel was pretty good comparing to our experience in Paris. Location was good. Public parking is recommended. Don't pay 13 Euros to the hotel. Public parking next to it is just 8.50 per day and only for hours when you use it. Thus, it will be much cheaper. If you leave at 9AM and park at 6PM or between 12PMand 2PM - it is free. Staff was OK but not very friendly. We had a fridge and a kettle. Tea and coffee available. Overall, it is a good hotel in the heart of Blois.

We would never stay there again

The advertising for this place is the definition of false advertising. The room was the tiniest room I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in Japan. You could barely fit two people in there without running into each other between the counter and the bed and I had myself, my husband and two kids. I booked this property because of the pictures online that are ridiculously unrealistic but I wouldn’t know that until we arrived unfortunately. The pool is freezing and tiny. There were 12 people at the pool and you couldn’t go anywhere without running into someone…like barely fit five people in the pool comfortably. My daughter could not even jump in and swim without splashing other people. I legit thought I was booking a castle because that is in your pictures. I’m not from here so I did not know it is a local castle that you advertise as your hotel. What a joke. I paid so much money for a concrete jungle. Honestly I want my money back. My family travelled from Canada to stay in castles and have an experience that we can’t get at home. This was extremely disappointing. I’m staying now at the Fourvière Lyon for the same price. It feels and looks like a literal castle, as advertised. We have a two room, two bath little suite. The fact that these two rooms are technically considered equal is wild to me. Fix your false advertising please and I’d like to see you remedy this situation. Unbelievable.

Room was pleasant and clean, staff were friendly. Was slightly further out of town than expected (walk of approx 20 mins) so one evening went to a restaurant just around the corner instead (there looked to be a couple of decent options.) Pool was reasonable.

It was average, not really 4 stars

The location of the hotel was fine. It’s fairly close to the city center. The staff were friendly but this hotel should not have a 4 star rating. While the rooms and hotel were clean the condition of the hotel interior are tired. The outside of the hotel is badly in need of a refresh. In addition, the pictures of the hotel do not accurately represent the exterior. At breakfast when items ran out during the service hours the items were not refilled.

The manager (check in) was very helpful and pleasant.

Rooms are larger than usual for a European hotel

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly

Il 20 agosto avevo prenotato e pagato una camera familiare per me e la mia famiglia composta da mio marito e due bimbi presso un'altra struttura che è risultata chiusa. Gli operatori di Expedia mi hanno trovato una soluzione alternativa presso questo hotel.Ringrazio gli operatori e il personale dell'hotel che si sono dimostrati molto disponibili e cordiali

Hotel was modern and had all the amenities that we needed (e.g. free WiFi, charging ports, safe, shower soaps, nice shower with overhead and hand-held, etc.). The restaurant was closed when we arrived, but the chef makes really nice items available for purchase at the bar behind the reception. I can’t remember the name of the person who helped us, but he warmed up our two items, got us some bread and made me a perfect margarita too. Since it was pouring down rain, we opted to dine in and were glad we did when we saw so many coming back to the hotel completely soaked. Thanks!

Hotel was very nice. Short walk into Blois (I thought it was more central). Pool quite small though and v crowded when we stayed.

We enjoyed our stay

The staff tried to convince me to pay 8 Euro to use their parking. When I asked how much the public parking was he told me it was the same. Incorrect! Public parking was 4.8 Euro, almost half the cost and it was much more convenient. They also immediately added up the breakfast fees, which was $16 euro . I had to ask them to take off the charges. I felt like they were price gouging. Location is not the greatest. You need to walk 15 minutes to get to town

Avoid at all costs. Price started off ok and used my reward night so was only about €50 including breakfast. In my haste to get the booking done I booked for that night in error. To get it changed cost another €60 and when we Got to the hotel suddenly breakfast was not included, they were almost empty , parking was not included and they charged us €30 to have the dogs in the room.

Stayed there during very hot days and unfortunately the air conditioning was not working properly it was hard to sleep. Swimming pool was handy to refresh but rather small. Parking available in the neighborhood, good location close to Château of Blois and city center. Overall a good and clean hotel but somehow it didn’t feel like a great value for money.

Good stay and location; breakfast crowded but ok. Blois is well located to visit the castles of Loure Valley. Popular for families. A normal Novotel hotel, rather standard, not ”french charm” type.

Parking présent dans l'annonce n'est pas gratuit. Taxe animale de 8€, n'est pas annoncée dans le prix

Good central location but otherwise quite disappointing. Understaffed- took ages to check in and no bar staff to look after customers. 1 complimentary bottle of water instead of one per head as in other Novotel hotels. Same for tea bags- only one in room. Air-conditioning in one room didn’t work and breakfast again not as extensive as in other Novotel hotels. Disappointing!
