Brit Hotel Essentiel Tours Nord

Unexpectedly comfortable The address on google maps didn't take me to the hotel so I got a bit worried when I couldn't find it. Eventually I found it just as a hotel listed nearby. I arrived after the reception was closed so did self check-in from the machine at the front door. It was very easy and straighforward. I wasn't sure what to expect in the hotel and was delighted with how spacious my room was and how comfortable the bed was. I would definitely recommend it as it was well situated, an excellent price and comfortable and clean with free parking.

Over night stay Was perfect for us for a 1 night stay on the way to the south of France. Room was basic but clean. We have an EV vehicle so chose hotel for that service as well. McDonald’s nearby for late night tea.

Wonderful little hotel - but my laptop ....! Everything was perfect but my laptop did not like it ! Reception : 10/10 Comfort : 10/10 Cleanliness : 10/10 Late arrival : 10/10 This was a really nice little hotel with a very pleasant breakfast room. The manager called me to explain in full detail how to self check in when he knew I was arriving late. First class. Modern bathroom, tops. Room recently painted and looking excellent. Heating was easy to operate and works. The beds were super comfortable. Plenty of on-site parking - it's not gated parking, but still right next to the hotel. The room is tight but everything is so well arranged, it works well. The breakfast croissants were wonderful - all butter - and the breakfast lounge is bright (floor to ceiling windows) and wonderfully colourful ! Bémols - Little problems -------------------------------- The TV froze while using it, so had to unplug the power to turn it off. The desktop surface is not large enough for a laptop. In 2024 this is unforgivable. I had to work with my laptop on the bed and using my mouse on my backpack. So, if you plan to work late in your bedroom with a laptop, this is not a hotel to stay at. I absolutely recommend this hotel because the whole experience was so nice, but not, if like me, you have to work on a laptop. Lastly, the wall notice telling customers not to be noisy is too condescending and off-putting - 95% of visitors to this lovely hotel will be well behaved - they should get rid of it.

Good for airport A good location for Tours Loire Valley airport. Places to eat nearby and no hassle with late check in

Inexpensive but microscopic sized room The receptionist spoke very clear and easily understood English and was super nice. The breakfast was very nice and everything in the room worked as it should. However, be it known, the room was microscopic in size. The bathroom was like a broom closet. There was very little room to move around within the room or the bathroom. For one person, it would be OK for two people as were we it was crowded.

Très bien pour le prix Juste une nuit pour cette fois mais j'ai l'habitude d'y séjourner quand je vais à Tours car l'hôtel est hyper bien situé : zone commerciale et tram à 4 minutes à pied. L'état s'est cependant un peu dégradé depuis mes premières visites il y a quelques années avec un hôtel qui a vieilli (c'est normal) mais dont la propreté n'est pas parfaite (moutons de poussière entre les portes). Personnellement ça ne me dérange pas mais je le signale pour les gens tatillons ou allergiques, asthmatiques etc. Je n'ai pas profité du petit-déjeuner donc je ne peux rien dire à ce niveau. L'arrivée à 15h le semble très très tardive. Le fait de ne pas pouvoir payer en espèces me semble très grave, je me demande même si c'est légal d'ailleurs... Bref, je recommande, j'y retorunerai mais il y a des bémols.
