Kyriad Hotel Tours Centre - Tours, France     

I stayed here by myself for 3 nights on a recent trip to Europe. I was keen to see the Loire Valley and decided Tours was a good base for sightseeing. The hotel was an easy 5-minute walk from the station and also the tourist information centre where you can book chateau tours, with quite a few bakeries and restaurants nearby as well as a supermarket across the road, so that was convenient. The area is quite quiet, and the hotel is in the opposite direction from the sights of Tours itself, like the historical quarter and cathedral etc. but if you don't mind a walk, it's easy enough to get to. The room was very spacious and felt quite luxurious compared to the others i stayed in on my holiday, with a big double bed all to myself! Staff were friendly and the breakfast (included in the room rate) was tasty. I was allowed early check-in too, which was really nice after the train trip from Paris. A great experience!

the kyriad is a chain hotel, it's a standard hotel, it's clean, with nice good sized rooms and bathrooms, but nothing exceptionnal. The staff is friendly, and there is a good breakfeast in the morning, with nice croissants, and you can squeeze your own fresh orange juice. A big plus is the garage.
