The accommodation was very tired, a little shabby but it was acceptable. The restaurant as part of the hotel was very nice and enjoyable

Second time staying here and I really enjoy the quaint atmosphere of the hotel. It feels old-school with lovely wooden staircases, shutters and exposed beams. Free parking and a short walk into Chinon. Lovely

Chinon is easily walkable from the river up to the castle/fortress ruins on small streets that are still used in the daily lives of its’ residents. Although old, it is lively and offers many restaurants and shops for any needs you may have. Rather a charming, old city.

The Royal Palace was excellent, with a lot of history.
The Royal Palace was excellent, with a lot of history. The old town was very picturesque with some excellent restaurants. A lot of climbing although there is a lift from the lower town to the fortress. A good range of shops, cafes and bars.

Chinon has the feel of a village.
Chinon has the feel of a village. It is not that small, but there is a sense of security and ample access to food, wine, and services all reached on foot. There is no need to use a car in town. The weekly market is vey large and we easily reached it on foot even though is was near the opposite end of the town from our apartment. The climb (many steps) to the fortress is well worth the effort but there is also a free elevator provided by the town. If you want to comprehend how nice it is, visit busy Saumur which is full of traffic, stop lights, priorité a droit, steep roads, and noise.

Chinon is a charming town.
Chinon is a charming town. Good size, not too small and full of exceptional restaurants. Close to many wineries and Chateaus.b we ate at Les Annes 30 and Table de La Jeanne. Both of them were really good.
Comfortable room. Enjoyable and satisfying breakfast (very pleasant garden terrace for taking breakfast) and well located for visiting Chinon (a short walk across the bridge over the Vienne river) and the surrounding areas.
Rudy and Mathieu were excellent hosts, very friendly and welcoming. They were accommodating for the little extras or changes we requested. We couldn't have asked for more. Will happily return to Hôtel Rive Sud for another stay.
Beautiful garden and outside spaces. Easy parking outside the gate. Quirky decorating touches. Close to the Château, the excellent boulangerie and wine tasting. Handy for Chinon ( there's a lift down to the old town), Well stocked, small kitchen. Smelt lovely! Plenty to do for 3 days. We really liked it so the few comments 'didn't like' are only small things.
Lovely huge room with bed, dining and seating area in an old manor house in the centre of Chinon. Beautifully decorated with a little outdoor seating area. Some road noise, but not intrusive. Useable separate kitchen and bathroom. Small but perfectly formed. The hosts could not have been nicer or more helpful. Would definitely stay again over a hotel.
The owner Maurice was fantastic. He was very helpful, friendly and humorous. He has a great eye for detail and esthetics so his establishment is luxurious and tastefully furnished. The breakfast was the best I’ve had in France. Staying with Maurice is an experience not just a place to sleep.
Breakfast was the best we'd had in our four weeks of travel. There was everything anyone would want. Spacious and well kept including the grounds and swimming pool. If there is a higher ranking than "super" host, we would say that was Ronin. We would give this our highest recommendation.
Our recent stay at the hotel was excellent, the Room we were allocated was excellent, the lady manager was very helpful, the location was perfect for our needs with parking right outside of the hotel, and an easy evening stroll into the centre of Chinon. Just a great place!
It was a perfect match for visiting the Loire Valley coming from Paris, A perfect house, with very friendly people to receive us, it was more than perfect. I Strongly recommend to come to Chinon, very beautifull and peacifull city and stay in this house.
Extremely nice host welcomed us to a very beautiful property. Very complete equipment, comfortable bedding, well equipped kitchen, nice pool, onsite parking...The house is located in a quiet village just outside Chinon.
The host was very friendly, the facilities were clean and generous. Breakfast was excellent with a wide ranging buffet. The hotel was ideally placed to explore Chinon on foot. Excellent restaurant close by.
The room was beautiful, the terrace was peaceful, and the stairwell was charming. The hostess and her hospitality was exceptional.
Breakfast was the far exceeded the other 4 hotels we enjoyed in France
It was well positioned in the center of the town. Easy to walk round and near the river. excellent hotel restaurante and bar three doors away which also offer a very good breakfast for 12.50 euros.
The property was basically built into the wall of the Château it had a lovely garden to enjoy the evening sun
It very much felt like someone’s home but you were given full privacy and access
The apartment is in a fantastic location, it was charming, clean and thoughtfully decorated. We loved it and we would definitely stay there again if we were in Chinon!
