Hotel du Theatre

Nice little hotel in the historic center of Tours. Comfort, calm and cleanliness are at the rendezvous. Breakfast buffet very good. I go there very regularly. Very good value for money! Very nice location and boss with little care.

Full of historical character, this hotel is conveniently tucked away in the centre of Tours near the cathedral. The owner and staff are very helpful, there is secure underground parking a short walk away, and an excellent cafe bar next door. Our room was comfortable and adequate for our needs. A good breakfast was offered for a small supplement. We thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay. (nb - the rooms are accessed by old steep wooden stairs which might be challenging for guests with mobility issues....)

Historic hotel where author Balzac once lived is literally creaking with character. Its narrow stairs lead to comfortable small rooms. Like many historic hotels there is no lift, because you can’t retrofit large fits to these historic buildings. That’s the price of not staying in a cookie cutter new character free hotel. I liked that the this little hotel has a kind owner who went to a lot of effort to contact me after I left my spare prescription glasses in the room. He happily mailed them to me. I am so grateful! Lovely man. His English is excellent too. He also walked me to a nearby private garage where he locked my bike up and kept it safe. Charge was 5 euro a day. And he took me again to retrieve it when I left. That was great. Used my time to explore chateaus nearby. Loved Chenonceau. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to the train station. And lots of nice restaurants nearby. The ancient part of the city is not far. But it had lots of people. So I was happy in the neighbourhood where Hotel de theatre was located. Felt safe.
