Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel de l'Abeille Orléans

Pretty decent hotel for a short stay (ours was just one night). Very well located for both the old town and the railway station (both of which maybe 250-300m away). Thus ideal for a short break. The downside of our room was the 4-5 flights of steps to it in the loft, though we were warned about this a good 3 weeks prior to out stay. There are no lifts that we saw in the hotel. Not ideal if you are mobility inclined. Possibly because of it being a loft room, the TV reception was pretty poor. Another downside of the loft room was that the shower was only 2 feet from the floor. Probably not the case in the other rooms. On the pus side, our room was very large though you could not fully stand everywhere in the room because of the angles of the ceilings. The staff in reception were pretty friendly and very helpful in terms of letting us know good places to eat etc. Breakfast was okay, but probably not worth the money considering the number of cafes, where we could have got equal options at a cheaper price. The place was clean and tidy and well presented with lots of historic pictures and ornaments. I would stay gain at the price charged, on the basis that the staff were nice and it was well located.

Our room was two floors up a very steep and narrow set of stairs (there is no elevator to transport people or luggage). Parking is inconvenient and who ever heard of a requirement to turn the room key back to the staff each time one leaves the property? Just didn't feel safe.

This is the most charming boutique hotel. The location is excellent! The room was spacious enough however I do not care for automatic lights going on in the bathroom. I like to control the lights myself, and not be blinded. The big con is that there is no lift so be prepared to carry your suitcases up the classic narrow staircase. Nice breakfast. Parking is difficult.

Wonderful staff! Lovely and walkable. Enjoyed our stay!

I love everything about this hotel. It’s warm, welcoming and the staff is excellent. The view of the boulevard is spectacular and the location in general is great.

Liked everything about the place

A boutique hotel, extremely well located- walking distance to just about everthing in the old section. Lovely furnishings and decor. So much to look at from paintings and ornaments to antique furniture. Courteous and helpful staff which enhanced the experience of a great stay at a wonderful hotel!

We loved our recent stay at the Hotel de l'Abeille. Great location on pedestrian corridor with shopping, restaurants, and nearby cultural attractions. Found parking easily nearby. The front desk person was one of the nicest and most helpful we have experienced in a hotel in a long while. Room was nice and comfortable. Very nice rooftop patio. Only drawbacks were having to climb stairs with suitcases, and the room toilet was difficult for tall people. But a very nice, charming hotel, and we would certainly stay there again.

Magnifique et coquet hôtel. Terrasse formidable. Petit déjeuner buffet peu varié.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, the breakfast outstanding and the room charming (with a big beautiful bathroom). Location was very convenient for a one-night visit to Orleans.

The location was perfect: a five minute walk from the train station, and an easy stroll down a car-free street to the central square. The reception area was charming, and the check-in staff, efficient. The stairs are steep, but we were forewarned and do not carry a lot of luggage, so it was manageable. My room was perfectly quiet, which allowed me to keep the window open at night. Also, I appreciated the carpet-less room. Overall, very good value, and the decor made me feel like I was really in France.

Good location. Reception desk wasn’t very hy

Historic charm, quiet and comfortable room, excellent staff, great location...perfect!

Such a lovely little boutique hotel. Fabulously in period lovely touches with period features and decor. Stairs a bit steep with 3 dogs but otherwise cant fault it and would definitely stay again.

It was great, just make sure people know there is no lift and the stairs are narrow. My husband has a hard time walking and these stairs were hard for him. You had a nice young gal take our bags up the stairs and how she did that, I have no idea. The room was lovely and comfortable. I would suggest some kind of not slip mat for the shower/tub though.

Excellent and helpful staff. Very nice facility, very convenient. Outstanding breakfast!

Great location just a few minutes walking from the train station in the center of town. We enjoyed our stay despite the hotel not having a lift.

we have stayed here before and is a lovely small hotel in the centre of town. Good breakfast

Lovely hotel in an excellent location! Great staff, kind, professional and patient! Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!

lovely, clean, friendly
