Hotels Near Maison des Sciences de l'Homme in Tours

The hotel is less than 5 minutes from the Tour Train Station. When I made a reservation, I thought it was a hotel similar to IBIS. After entering the room, I found a surprise. The room was warmly decorated. Although the decorations were not high-end, they were carefully designed to make people feel comfortable. This hotel is a great choice for Tours and is worth recommending.

There is much to like about this lovely relaxing hotel. The pity was we had only one night here on our route from Marbella to Calais and it was much to our regret that we could not stay here longer. It's right in the centre of Tours, but down a quiet residential street. We hit town right at evening rush hour and traffic was tricky, but Tours is manageable size-wise. it has off-street parking for maybe eight cars, we found a spot, luckily. I'm not sure how they manage other guests. The welcome was friendly and efficient and we loved our room. it was big, spacious, comfortable and spotless. Everything you want to see in Tours is within walking distance too, or most at least and this neighbourhood is residential with lots of small businesses including restaurants. The Loire is 5 minutes away and a strret awash with restaurants is the same diatance. the Cathedral is maybe ten minutes or even less and the main thoroughfare is very near. Tours was bombed badly in the war so many of the streets and buildings in the centre were rebuilt post-war. I like Best Western-branded hotels. You know what you're going to get and they live up to their promise and exceed it on many visits I make. And that's more than fair. This hotel, an old Abbey - you wouldn't know apart from the odd hint - exceeded it.

Very good location, right in front of the Gare TGV and rental car companies. Very convenient as a base to explore the Valley of Loire. Not very far from a shopping mall. Good breakfast and the restaurant also serves good food at lunch and dinner for reasonable prices. Parking is avaliable for an extra fee. The staff is kind, room and shower are good. I recommend and would stay there again.

Stayed one night. Chosen for distance from ferry and cost. Stayed in this chain previously. Basic room. Comfortable bed. Good bathroom with decent shower. Wifi worked well. Great for an overnight stop. Restaurant very close (recommended by receptionist) was good - see separate review

I put 3/5 because I couldn't enjoy the benefit. Negotiation with the hotel is impossible to delay the reservation of a night (even paying a surcharge) because I took the unchanged price option. Sorry, since the hotel is far from being filled at that date.

We spent 3 nights in this hotel. It is outside the city and is a great place to explore some places from there. The hotel makes a very new design. Breakfast is great. There is a swimming pool (outside) with a few chairs. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had the right to park our bikes in the washroom. There is a large parking space with many load points for electric cars. Wi-Fi is fantastic throughout the hotel.

First of all we couldn’t get into our room, there was a problem with the room card, we ended up having to use a key. Not a huge problem. The design of the rooms in terms of privacy and consideration for anyone else sharing with you is pretty poor. The toilet door does not “seal” so to speak, so all noises are amplified… the toilet light is on a sensor so there is no option to have this on or not, which in the middle of the night, with the gaps around the door, means the room is lit up… Breakfast is incredibly basic too, but then for €7.50 I guess you get what you pay for. In terms of positives, the staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful. The hotel was bright and clean, with the outdoor, reception and dining areas funky and modern. One really good thing was the burger van outside, this was a great idea, as there is nothing really in the vicinity. Ample parking and the security aspect of the gate being locked after 10pm is a good idea. Overall, cheap and cheerful but in my opinion best for lone travellers

The accommodation is located in a quiet manor with its own vegetable shed and a swimming pool. It is very pleasant to walk in the manor. Like the photo, the hotel is a castle with a sense of age. The common living room and dining room are decorated in European retro style, as if back to that era. Compared with the room facilities, the room is more general. First of all, there is no air conditioning in the room. There is an electric fan. The high temperature warning in France was very hot in those days. Secondly, there is no trash can in the room, and there is a small toilet. No paper is provided. The shower can be sprayed with a top spray, and the hand shower cannot be fixed.

We based in this hotel our visit to the Castle of Villandry (very nice both, the garden and the building), being at less than 500 m of distance and being in the right position to split the trip returning from Mont St. Michel ot our town in north of Italy. It is also close to Tours. The hotel is special, being in a small old building; our room was under roof with a special shape of the bathroom (making a little bit complex the use of the shower ...). Room and bathroom perfectly serviced (e.g. with hair dryer) and enough spacious. We didn't use the braekfast. Free parking immediately in front of the hotel.
