Search Best Hotels in Meung-sur-Loire

Dieses Schreiben wurde an die Zentral von Best Western gesendet: Wir waren mit Mitarbeitern unserer Kanzlei zu einem Betriebsausflug an der Loire und waren in einem Ihrer Häuser für 4 Übernachtungen. Mit dem Erreichen Ihres Hauses in: La Porte de Chateau begann unsere Misere. Am ersten Tag hat man die Zimmerreinigung ausgelassen. Die konnte man nachmittags um 16:00 Uhr noch nachholen. Aber man kann sich noch steigern: Zum Frühstück am Werktag um 8:00 Uhr gab es keine Croissants nein es gab auch kein Baguette und Joghurt war auch an 2 von 4 Tagen alle. Warum kann nicht jemand Lebensmittel, die aus sind, einfach einkaufen. Zuviel initiative?????? Es geht noch weiter: In den beiden Frühstücksräumen steht jeweils eine Kaffeemaschine. Warum ist eine davon ständig außer Betrieb???? Das Hotel war zeitweise voll und man hatte lange Wartezeiten. Es gibt keine gekochten warmen Eier, die gibt es nur eiskalt!!!! Es gibt auch keine Spiegeleier und die Rühreier sind matschig breiig einfach ungenießbar. In Ihrem angeschlossenen Restaurant kann man verbrannte Burger essen. Verbrannt (schwarz) sind nicht nur die Pattys sondern auch die Brötchen. Doch das Beste kommt noch: Am Abreisetag offerierte man mir, als ich die Rechnung begleichen wollte, dass die Vereinbarung zum Zimmerpreis nicht mehr gelte. Die Preise hätten sich erhöht und man wollte ca. 40 % mehr für alle Übernachtungen berechnen. Dies obwohl die „Damen“ an der Rezeption die Ausdrucke unserer Buchungbestätigung vorliegen hatten. Ich war kurz davor die Polizei zu rufen. Nachdem ich Ihnen diese Missstände geschildert habe, bin ich gespannt welche Antwort ich bekomme.

The hotel was easy to find, being just at the end of the main bridge on the bank of the Loire. We also got parked up in the courtyard of what is an 11th - 12th century old abbey and is a very grand looking building. The interior of the building has lots of high ceilinged rooms with antique furniture and objects d’art all over the place. I’d booked a superior room and the beamed ceiling must be about 15 feet high. The room is very smart and has a desk by the window that looks out onto the bridge and the river. After a splendid sleep we had breakfast in an attractive dining room that also offers seats outside or in an enclosed terrace with views of the river. Breakfast here is 17 Euros and they offer a fine range of fruits, local cold meats, cheeses and preserves. They even offer an array of loose tea blends from which to make your own tea bag. In my view it’s all a bit of style over practicality however, and although we saw the occasional member of staff loiter now and again, there was no “service” per se. We weren’t greeted on arrival or shown where everything was in the buffet. The serve yourself breakfast buffet may have some advantages, but in a quality hotel I don’t want to have to do everything myself. Breakfast should be a relaxing occasion, and not one where you have to queue up to use a fresh orange squeezing machine. I don’t want to have to search for a teaspoon (in vain!) or wonder if there might be a tea pot (no there wasn’t). And whereas it is nice to be able to have a boiled egg, I’d rather have someone else cook it for me and, to be blunt, for 17 Euros I’d expect a waiter to ask me if I would like to have some scrambled eggs or an omelette instead. We had breakfast on both mornings and second time round it continued to disappoint rather than please. This time there was no yogurt to go with the fresh fruit salad and no spoons to eat the fruit salad with; there was also no butter and because there was nobody visible in either the dining room or kitchen I had to ask the bloke on reception to go and get me some. This is a very good hotel and it is clear that they want it to be of a high standard, and whereas we enjoyed staying here I have to say that the service at breakfast was poor - simply because there was no service at all. The bottom line is that apart from the lack of service in the breakfast room (and I accept that there may be staffing issues) we found this to be a really good hotel and would stay again.

The Ecu de Bretagne ticks all the relevant boxes for a comfortable, well located hotel in a small attractive Loire Valley town. The rooms are large, well appointed and recently decorated, the aircon worked extremely well in this canicule and the pool is a real bonus. Easy on site parking. Generous breakfast, a bistro for dining with a limited menu, but there are lots of restaurants and bars to choose from in the town. The welcome is always warm and the staff are genuinely friendly. We have stayed here many times over the last 10 years, winter and summer, and have never been disappointed. Recommended.

The good things first, Beaugency the town is lovely , the hotel is in a good situation especially if you have a dog, lovely walking right by the hotel, Madame is lovely and very hard working, nothing too much trouble, now the problem is the food which is home cooking by her husband, now the budget is very low so he hasn’t a lot to work with but I think they need to aim higher, maybe a 2 tier price so he can afford a little more quality, don’t let me put you off as this place is terrific value
