Hotel di charme nel centro della città con possibilità di parcheggio

Loved staying here and will certainly return. Quirky, very pleasant, good bedrooms and lovely breakfast. Oh, also clean, good staff and nice bar.
It's easy walking distance into the town, although you'll want to drive to places like Cave Monplasir (but not drive back!).
It's slightly tucked out of the way when driving too it and the only flaw is not enough parking (which costs extra).
Overall, defintely returning.
How I Mark.
I may mark differently to some other reviewers, some might see this as harsh, others may see it as fair. But here's how I look at it:
5 star - WOW. I want to go back and look forward to doing so. They delivered everything expec ted and more. The 'more' is normally about the service or attitude of the staff.
4 star - GOOD. They delivered everything I wanted and a bit more. I recommend them and would go back.
3 star - OK. They delivered what I expected, I would go back if I needed to, although don't currently plan on doing so.
2 star - Not very good. I didn't get what I expected and the service wasn't good. I don't recommend this place. I might get dragged back here, although will always try to avoid it
1 star - RUBBISH. Don't go there, I certainly won't go there again. I didn't get what I wanted, the people were unhelpful and I didn't enjoy it in any way.

Presque au centre de la jolie ville de Chinon, l’hôtel Diderot est un beau bâtiment ancien avec une belle terrasse pour les petits déjeuners. Un hôtel de charme, joliment rétro, chambre agréable un rien démodée ce qui ajoute au charme. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux, notamment les confitures de la patronne. Pour dormir à Chinon, c’est le choix parfait !

Tolles romantisches und sehr ruhiges Hotel mit urigen Flair. Das Frühstück war urfranzösich mit ganz vielen verschiedenen Marmeladen. Wir waren die "einzigen" nicht Engländer an diesem Morgen. Die große Geschichte mit dem englischen König Henry II und seinem berühmten Sohn Richard Löwenherz, der in Chinon begraben ist, zieht die englischen Touristen genau in dieses schöne Haus. Dort muss man unbedingt mal gewesen sein.

Cet hôtel est plein de charme avec des propriétaires au petit soin pour leurs clients. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour (1 nuit) dans une chambre familiale avec nos enfants. Le petit déjeuner est délicieux avec des produits locaux et frais et il est très copieux ! Nous reviendrons à cette adresse lors d’une prochaine venue sur Chinon! Nous recommandons vivement.

Rien n’est catastrophique à l’hôtel Diderot. On y reviendra peut-être ? Quelles sont d’ailleurs les alternatives à Chinon ? On a pris la chambre la moins chère et l’hôtelier n’a pas eu la bonne idée de nous upgrader sachant que l’hôtel était à moitié vide. Qu’est-ce que ça lui coûte ?
L’hôtelier aurait pu aussi nous faire cadeau du parking à 4€. On a déplacé la voiture de 20 mètres pour ne pas les payer. On s’en moquait mais c’était pour le principe. N’arrivez pas trop tard car l’hôtel ferme à 20 heures et tant pis si jamais vous arrivez plus tard. En l’occurrence la grille s’est fermée à 19h50…
Vous l’avez déjà compris. L’accueil est courtois mais froid. Il est peut-être plus chaleureux si vous dépensez plus ? Sûrement !

Hôtel de caractère, très bien situé, chambre propre, salle de bain agréable.
Parking gratuit à proximité - celui de l’hôtel est payant même en basse saison.
Accueil courtois mais froid.
Si vous attendez un sourire ou un geste d’empathie, vous serez déçus.
Si vous comptez arriver après 20h, choisissez un autre hôtel.

A lovely place to stay whilst in Chinon. Excellent pristine room and bathroom. Access to an outside patio obviously loved and well cared for. Breakfast was great too. Locally produced products of the best quality served well and with care. Wine they stock was fabulous as well. Fair price for fine quality. Staff were courteous and friendly. A calm and gentle place to stay.

I highly recommend staying here, this charming little hotel was a highlight on my trip. We paid for the car to stay on the property and walked all around town. The breakfast is a must, everything was delicious but the bread and marmalades have a special place in my heart. I didn't want to leave. The town is a calm and wonderful place to relax and enjoy the views. It's a walkable distance from the Forteresse Royale de Chinon.

Don’t. Just don’t book here if you want a comfortable stay. Nice couple owns this …but it’s outdated and not a comfortable sleep. Pillow are crappy u comfortable,bed okay and the room smells. Was trying to decide if the smell was pot smoked in room - a pesticide sprayed or just moldy mildew smell in there.||||I was on a Rick Steve’s tour there so did not pick it his hotel - but would not go there on my own, and will critique it in my your review. There had to be a nicer place in town. They need to up there game - people on vacation want a comfortable smell free room

This hotel in a historic old building was located well in the city center but was nice and quiet. The breakfast was one of the best we had in France. Croissants, bread, jams, cheese and the patio seating was great. The rooms were beautifully decorated and the building itself was a treat to wonder around in. The staff were polite and attentive.

We had a lovely two-night stay at Hotel Diderot. The building, garden and terrace are stunning. Inside is a little creaky as others have said but so full of character. Our room had beautiful old furniture and a view across the courtyard. Comfortable bed though, and we were glad of the fan - nicer than aircon and more than enough to keep us cool. We also had a spotless modern bathroom. We had bikes with us so were very happy about the secure parking - we parked the car in a nearby street and chained the bikes up in the courtyard. The location is excellent - on a quiet street just a short walk from the town centre. The staff are lovely - they speak great English and have good advice about the surrounding area. Overall, a lovely hotel we would highly recommend.

Bel établissement de charme. Accueil charmant. Calme et reposant une coupure hors du temps. |2 petits bémols (mais qui ne concernent nos goûts et nos habitudes) : pas de bouteilles d’eau de courtoisie dans la chambre et le petit déjeuner avec peu de choix

Très bien placé, personnel chaleureux, chambre correct et équipée de sèche cheveux et ventilateur. Je recommande le petit déjeuner à 13€ qui vaut largement le coup, avec d'excellents produits locaux et généreusement servi.

Charming comfortable hotel in OLD building in Chinon. Much character. Rooms were pleasantly decorated, bathrooms recently redone and modern. Lovely outdoor area. Had a lovely chat with our host after the morning breakfast hubbub had abated — about the building and Chinon mostly. She gave us a wonderful recommendation for a local wine producer’s cave down the street.
Highly recommended for a visit to Chinon — great quiet location, can walk to everything. Warm welcome.

Lovely hotel for our 3 night stopover in Chinon.
The room on the second floor was spacious - very clean and good sized bathroom.
Breakfast consisted of fresh fruit, pastries and cheese.
Ideal location for exploring Chinon, as you can see it all on foot from the hotel.
Parking at the hotel is charged as an extra, alternatively there is a large carousel just 50 metres away that is free.

Located walking distance from the train station, this is a lovely B&B. The room was spacious for the 3 of us. It was nice to have a strong fan to help cool us off during the steamy days there. Breakfast in the morning was fresh breads and croissants, and a great pot of cafe and pitcher of steaming milk, Juice, preserves, cheese and yogurt. The family that runs the hotel was very helpful in getting us a taxi the day we checked out, to get to our next destination. Highly recommend a stay here.

The hotel was quaint and the breakfast was good, but our room was completely unacceptable for what was advertised. Our room in no way reflected the reviews or photos on the website.
The room was tiny (I’m not complaining about the size, just pointing out that the cozy rooms are small - as is often common in Europe) but the furniture was old and tired, the room decor was lacking and uninspiring, and the bathroom was certainly not remodelled, as others have said. The tap was rusty, as was the water line to the toilet, the bathroom ceiling was moldy, and the radiator and door jambs needed paint.
The door to the hallway was paper thin with a large gap and you could hear every step and conversation of folks coming and going.
There is a nice patio area at the hotel, however there are signs posted that you cannot eat your own food there nor have a picnic. If you want to do that, you must leave the grounds. We have never had that experience in any other hotel we have stayed at anywhere. If they don’t want guests eating at their tables, they should at least set aside an area with some tables or green space where picnicking is allowed. I would think that would be preferable to guests eating in their beds.
You can’t be sure of what you are getting at this hotel. I suggest you book elsewhere.
