Reviews and Ratings
The hotel’s rooms were a bit poor and too small, more suitable for a one-night business trip than leisure. Despite the lack of air conditioning and the small size, the room is well-located for a quick stay near the castle. However, the room lacked natural light and the view was not the best.
The hotel's location is outstanding, right next to the Chateau with breathtaking views, and it's perfect for exploring the surrounding area. The rooms, although clean and modern, were quite small, lacking space for luggage. The service provided was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff. The dining experience offered plenty of tasty local food but was on the expensive side.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the location within Chambord Chateau grounds was exceptional, the rooms were surprisingly small and dark, lacking any view. The service was excellent with helpful and friendly staff, but the dining options were not impressive.
I stayed at this hotel overlooking the magnificent Chambord chateau, offering private access to the park after hours. The rooms were well designed with beautiful furnishings and thoughtful details related to the chateau ambiance. While the size was a bit cramped for baggage, the overall experience was charming and elegant. The service, however, lacked organization and friendliness at times. The location, although enchanting with its proximity to the castle, didn't fully justify the luxurious price tag. The dining experience was excellent with attentive staff, but the options were a bit too simple. Despite some shortcomings, the facilities were top-notch and added to the pleasant stay.
The hotel room was small and lacked light, with two long narrow windows overlooking the car pull-up area outside reception. My bed faced a blank wall, and being situated over the laundry room, noise made it difficult to sleep. However, the room was well-equipped and clean, although lacking coffee/tea making facilities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The location is excellent, right next to the castle, offering outstanding views, but the room I had was a bit dark with a view of the parking area. The service at Le Grand Saint Michel was lovely and helpful, although the dining experience was excessive. The facilities were satisfactory but nothing exceptional.
The hotel is more suitable for a one-night business trip due to the small and dark rooms with a view of the parking lot. However, the rooms are nice despite being small and challenging for tall guests. The service was fantastic with very friendly and accommodating staff, even though there was no bar food available as an evening dining option. The location is exceptional, right next to the castle with outstanding views, perfect for exploring the nearby attractions. The dining experience offers plenty of tasty local food, although it was terrible in the morning. The hotel's facilities are well-maintained.
Despite some drawbacks like dark rooms without air conditioning, the hotel offers pleasant rooms with a beautiful view of the castle. The service is exceptional with a great location near Chambord castle. The dining experience varies from terrible to excellent, and the location is unbeatable right next to the castle. The facilities are adequate for a comfortable stay.
The hotel rooms were quite small and lacking in natural light, overlooking the parking area, which might be more suitable for a short business trip rather than a leisure stay. On the bright side, the location inside Chambord Chateau is superb, offering outstanding views of the castle.
The hotel's rooms were small but well-designed with beautiful furnishings and details relating to the chateau, although they were not big enough for baggage. The service was fantastic as the staff were friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived. The location was amazing, directly in front of the Chateau de Chambord, offering stunning views of the chateau and private access to the park after hours. The dining options were a mix of both excellent and terrible, with sandwiches being highlighted. Overall, the hotel offers a unique experience within the chateau grounds.
