Perfect stay at Hotel Rive Sud
Our stay at the hotel was perfect from start to finish. The owners are super friendly and offered plenty of advice about the surrounding area, and tips on recommended places to visit. The attention to detail on the decor of the whole property gives a truly comforting & relaxed feel. The hotel is in a great location within a short 5-10 minute walk in to Chinon centre. I would highly recommend this property.

We loved our stay, located a lovely 5 minute walk across the picturesque bridge from Chinon and it’s castle, this family owned and operated B&B was just what our family (2 adults, 2 children) needed. Clean room, excellent breakfast and very helpful hosts. Parking is quite easy even if it seems unlikely at first.

A lovely hotel in a lovely town
We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay at St Jacques in Chinon, France. The lady who runs the hotel was very friendly and helpful and she spoke English. We had a very good breakfast each morning. The hotel was in a good location in the town - just a 5 minute walk to a good choice of restaurants. Chinon is lovely and a good place to stay.

Good value hotel close to town
Arrived after a long journey from Le Puy en Velay. We have stayed in Chinon several times before so had no trouble finding the hotel. Booked in straight away (late afternoon) and, after settling in, had a drink at the bar opposite the chateau, one of our favourite views in France.

Close Walk to Chinon, Friendly owners
Free parking and free WiFi might seem to be the best thing about this, but it had to be the friendly "mom & pop" running the hotel. The hotel room was average size, the larger bathroom was newly updated though with a comfortable shower stall. No A/C, but the window opened and the room came with a fan. Very close walk across the bridge to Chinon for dinner. Breakfast was awesome, included cereal as well. The wifi is a little weak above the ground floor, but they do have a lounge to hang around downstairs if you need stronger signal. No complaints, with enough towels and comfortable beds. Parking could be bad if the hotel were full with cars, but we had no problems when we stayed. The close grassy park on the river is an awesome place for photos of the chateau.

Disliked: Staff & service
good location,nasty staff
We would not choose this hotel again.Booked originally through Expedia (which we also will not use again) for 3 nights we changed to 2 nights several weeks ahead by contacting Expedia as required.When we arrived the owners claimed to have not received the change (which is possible I guess having talked with Expedia) so they refused to accept the change and charged us for the full 3 nights. They were much more concerned about being charged a booking fee from Expedia for the third night if they didn't charge us than in guest satisfaction. We spent a lot of money on expensive phone cell calls to Expedia trying to resolve the issue while so they would not be charged nor would we but in the end the hotel owners said too bad and charged our card without my signature and threatened to call the police if we didn't get out!! Never again with either Expedia or this hotel.

A Great Place - Very Quaint
We loved this hotel. We were travelling as a family and had two rooms. Both rooms are small, but cozy. Everything was super-clean, to the point you could eat off the bathroom floors. The bathrooms have been recently modernized, so everything is bright clean, and cheerful. The owners who run the hotel are lovely people, and very conscientious of their guests. The breakfasts available fare delicious and plenty to eat. A great value for only 7 euros. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

Hotel find of the holiday
The hotel is five minutes stroll across the river into the old part of Chinon. The owners are friendly and provide a clean, crisp, well decorated hotel with private free parking at the side of the hotel. Breakfast has plenty of choice in a bright room and the bedromm was well appointed, comfortable clean and quiet. It was the find of the holiday and we shall return if in the area.
