Städtereisen Kanton Le Grand-Lucé

The hotel is located in the countryside about 1/2 hour by car from the center of Angers. Everything is very nice as one would expect from a hotel with this rating. There are two observations, that lead to the subtraction of 1 star in the overall rating. 1st: We were there to attend a large wedding party, that lasted into the morning hours. It would have been a nice gesture on part of the hotel, if the usual breakfast time of 8 to 10 had been extended by 1 or 2 hours on the morning after the party. This would have given the many guests that stayed overnight a chance to get a good night's sleep. 2nd: The refrigerator in our room was stocked with 2 bottles of Evian water only. I would have expected a choice of beers or wine together with a choice of waters and a welcome gesture such as a chocolate or a fruit basket.

The conciege who welcomed us at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful in explaining what we needed to know and he gave us a good tip where to have dinner, namely the Brasserie de la Gare just across from the hotel. While our room had a slightly aged appearance due to the fact that the hotel is 100 years old, everything needed was there. The refrigerator was well stocked and working well, the queen-sized bed was comfortable. The bathroom was completely renovated with new tiles and a modern glass enclosed showerstall, quite nice. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would book it again, except for the breakfast. Breakfast consists of a self service buffet that at first look seems rather nice, which you would expect for the price 20 Euros per person. However we have had better baguettes, the smoked salmon was salty, the cold cuts were of the cheaper kinds of wurst, no scrambled eggs or fried sausages, and the coffee was not very good. 20 Euros for this kind of a buffet is too much, 10 Euros would be adequate. There are better breakfast deals in the restos in the trainstation just across from the hotel

Alles in allem zu empfehlen!

nettes Stadthotel mitten auf der Insel in der Loire.
