Hotels in Blois with Swimming Pools

Blois is a good place to be to see the chateaux of the Loire, central, and with good roads to get around. That's where it ends with the First Hotel. Don't be fooled by the sumptuous looking sofa on the picture of the lobby - it is painted onto the wall. If you book a twin room, make sure you are on good terms with the person you are sharing with. The very narrow single beds in a twin room are very close together and the shower in our room (”private bathroom”) had one panel of the door screen missing. The other two panels were also see-through although not intended and it was not until we had been there for a couple of days that we realised one panel had been removed or at least not replaced. The blue decor was only matched by the tasteless floor covering, a linoleum intended to look like a carpet. The toilet had no lock on the door and we had to stuff toilet paper into the vent in the bedroom window as a howling gale was blowing through it and there was no way to close it. The room did have the option for a third bed - a pull out at the foot of the two singles. Had we been three and not two this would have taken up all the floor space in the sleeping area. However, the icing on the cake was the full length mirror which was behind the ”wardrobe” meaning that once clothes were hanging on it the mirror was hidden. Above this were two tiny shelves, wide enough for socks and pants folded in half.

When we arrived the place looked like we were in the wrong part of town. There is a private parking garage which is accessible from the back of the hotel on foot but on a bike the entrance is a bit steep if you need to press the button to call the reception for access. The room was rather small and the bar was in the reception area. Staff were friendly and breakfast was OK but not as good as we have had in other Ibis. Bit of a walk into town, about 10/15 minutes before you get anywhere on the outskirts. It was our first night on a trip and we felt disappointed.l

The hotel is very well located. This is very friendly and helpful staff. Room very clean and equipped with several current takes. It is perfect when you have several telephones to load. We have had a very good stay and we will return to this hotel.

I chosed this hotel based on positive ratings by Tripadvisor travellers. The room was bigger than expected, with a huge bathroom. I could open the window to feel the outside air. Everything very clean, well smelling, very comfortable bed. The front desk attendants are lovely and always helpful. They have no parking, but it is easy and cheap to use public parking few meters away. We prefer local bakeries, therefore I can't comment on the breakfast. Wifi seemed to be a bit unstable late at night. Next time I intend to stay in the same hotel, it is just a 7 minute walk from restaurants, bars and shops, I really recommend it.

Very friendly staff at reception and breakfast. Accomodation of the bicycles war very convenient and good. Check-in was somehow complicated as all guests where asked about their preferences for the breakfast (croissant wanted or not, with chocolade or not? Normally you would expect the hotel does its planning by themselves based on experience). Hotel apparently was packed and full. We got a very very small room with no air condition with windows to the road and railway direct below us. Due to the enormous heat and noise it was almost impossible to have a good sleep. The bath room with the shower was ok. But the bed was put into a corner with only one ”entrance” so you had to step over your partner to reach your bed.
