Find the Cheap Saint-Martin-de-la-Place Hotels

An important criterion in selecting hotels for my vacation itineraries is the hotel's having an excellent restaurant. Castellane, the ”Gastronomic French Restaurant” at Chateau Le Prieure, certainly satisfied that criterion. This allows me to enjoy an evening without having to worry about driving again. After verifying on the website that the restaurant would be open (such ”gourmet” restaurants are often closed two nights a week to give the staff a break), I booked a nonrefundable stay and requested dinner. The hotel confirmed my room reservation but told me that the restaurant was not available. I decided that I would take advantage of room service and would not request a cancellation. It turned out that Castellane was not even open. Upon leaving the hotel, I heard another guest complain to the front desk that the restaurant had been closed the evening before and was not going to be open that evening as well - a most justified complaint. And room service? The poorly staffed hotel could provide us only with a charcuterie plate or a fromage plate because the kitchen was closed. So, we sallied forth into Saumur, where I have to say that we had a surprisingly excellent dinner at L'Instinct. The hotel is understaffed. The hotel is desperately in need of some tender loving care such as repair of a window with a hole in it and remediation of the sinking floor with cracked wood that you would not want to step on with bare feet. However, WiFi access is good. The staff is friendly and hospitable. The rooms are capacious and clean (although the shower had pink mildew). The bedding is most comfortable. The lounge area with its view of the Loire is spectacular as was the morning view of the river from our room.

Our stay here was as expected, very nice staff with fair check in, out and breakfast times. Helpful staff, really welcomed us and made our trip as easy as possible. Thank You!

The hotel is just opposite the train station, which is very convenient for people who come to me and carry a big bag very late. The room is small and it is a bed, even the table is active. Same, no slippers, no toothbrushes. But the room was clean and there were not many breakfasts, but it was okay. Saumur estimates that no one has a special trip like me, if I really have a train like this. Can be considered, because it is just opposite the station, it is too convenient. Play back and take a bag and set off for the next stop!

This is a business hotel on the edge of town. That said the reception were very efficient and welcoming. The room was fairly standard but with everything that you needed. The air-con was very efficient. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The bar staff were also very friendly and welcoming as were the restaurant staff. We ate in the hotel and the food. Even on the set menu was very good and well prepared and presented. Wines were modestly priced if you choose wines from the Loire area. Breakfast was a buffet but copious and delicious. I would use this hotel again were I to visit Saumur in the future.

Firstly this hotel is in a great location and only a ten minute walk to the centre. The receptionist and the woman who was in charge of breakfast were both great. The room however was in desperate need of refurbishment. Initially our air conditioning wasn't working but the receptionist (she seemed to be doubling up as maintenance) came up and replaced/cleaned the filter and it was fine after that. The bathroom was a mess. Someone has decided to paint the area around the sink with brown paint that isn't waterproof. Everything that touched it (toothbrushes, towels, shaver, etc,) came away stained. I mentioned this at checkout but the receptionist didn't seem surprised or particularly interested. I suspect she knows about it. Breakfast was fine. Private parking is very tight. If you have a larger car I wouldn't bother, I'd stick to the street outside. We have a VW Golf and it was difficult to manoeuvre in and out. Oh then there's the price. We were quoted 11 euros on arrival, then 10 euros on checkout. My wife then pointed out it says 9 euros on the tariff notice in reception and that suddenly became the price! Overall then the hotel is in a good position but in need of some investment. Its a long way past its best

Having booked a superior room with a queen-sized bed we were given a poky room in the attic with a roof window and a large beam running between the bed and bathroom. When I questioned this with reception, showing the illustrations of what i thought I was booking and said that the bed was not queen-sized ... I was told they only advertised the best rooms and they only had 3 as shown on the pictures and that all the beds were the same. I pointed out that these were not queen-sized and that we didn't even have a proper window. I was asked how long we had been in the room and told if I could make it look like I hadn't been in it we could move. We were given an alternative room with a window but this was also small and was at the rear of the hotel looking over a building site. The room was unclean, flies on the window sill and the toilet was stained. Hotel was tired and furnishings old and fabric frayed. Location was okay but our stay was disappointing mainly owing to false advertising and not getting what we expected.
