Logis Hotel Restaurant Cristal

This is an excellent choice for seeing Saumur. It is in an old building with a lot of character. My room was large, with wooden beamed ceiling, tall windows that opened, and a limestone fireplace I wish I had in my home. Ensuite had shower and had plenty of space. Bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly and quite helpful. The hotel is part of a very large restaurant with good food and good service. It is in the main shopping and dining area, and within a short walk to the Chateau, which is the major attraction of Saumur. I would like to stay there again.

The location of the hotel is great, in Saumur centre and just a short walk up to the Château. You have to pay for parking immediately outside the hotel, it was 1.80 Eur for 2 hours, which is the maximum stay in the morning (9-12) and the afternoon (2-6.30). There is free parking further up the road if you need to park longer during those times. The room was small, and the bathroom was tiny (you could barely turn around in it), but we had a view of the River Loire, which was nice. There was no air conditioning, only a small fan. The breakfast was 10 Eur, and it was not worth the money. There were many patisseries nearby where you would get a lot more for your money. Overall, we would stay here again simply because of the good location.

Friendly, helpful staff, great location. Good breakfast.

Sweet hotel with a good restaurant menu. Friendly obliging staff on the whole comfortable room and good shower in a small bathroom. Nice views across the river and convenient for shops bars and restaurants. Be warned no lift and there are 4 floors with a very narrow staircase!
