Hotel Les Trois Lys Azay-le-Rideau, Azay-le-Rideau

Staying at this hotel was like being in the heart of a captivating town. The room had a unique charm, resembling a former shop with minimal furniture and a window that lacked curtains or shutters. It was ideal for families with young children who prefer staying together. The service was friendly and welcoming, offering great assistance with housekeeping and tours. The location, although a bit challenging with luggage due to being in an annex at the back on the 2nd floor with no lift, was perfect for exploring the famous chateau nearby and enjoying local dining options. The dining experience was a highlight, offering delicious meals, especially the breakfast spread. Overall, a memorable stay filled with character and warmth.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. On one hand, the room felt rather unconventional, like a former shop turned into a hotel room, with minimal furniture and a lacking window treatment, making it challenging for families with young children. However, the service provided by the friendly and helpful staff did make up for some of the shortcomings of the room. The location was convenient for exploring the area but had its own set of challenges, like being quite a hike with luggage to some parts of the hotel. The dining experience was a hit or miss, with some dishes being excellent while others were not particularly exciting. Despite these varying aspects, the overall value for money was decent, providing a reasonable experience for the price paid.

The hotel's location is fantastic, particularly if you plan to visit the local castle or explore the village center. The room had minimal furniture and lacked basic amenities like curtains, which was disappointing. The service, although friendly, couldn't make up for the hotel's shortcomings. The dining options were average, and the facilities were decent but nothing exceptional. The opportunity to visit various Chateaux in the area was a highlight here, but the lack of an elevator and distant annex location were significant drawbacks.

The hotel is conveniently located near the famous Azay Le Rideau Chateau and local restaurants, making it a great choice for exploring the area. The dining experience, while not exciting for some, offers fresh seasonal fruits. Overall, a decent value for the price paid.
