High marks.
A lovely stay, and the staff could not possibly be nicer or more helpful. This is a historic property that forms its own compound in the heart of the pleasant village of Azay-le-Rideau. The hotel is a short walk from one of the most splendid of the Loire chateaux, and is aso centrally located for daytrips throughout the region. Our room was large and comfortable, if a bit sparsely furnished. The bathroom was quite new, modern, and well-fitted out. We'd happily have stayed longer.

The room was excellent- very comfortable bed, clean and well presented and with a fabulous wet room 👍 We have stayed at the Grand Monarch before but not for a few years. The upgrades since our last trip are of an exceptionally high quality.

Great Hotel, Wonderful A/C
We used this hotel as our base during our visit to the chateaux of the Loire Valley. It was perfect for this. We had a triple room, and it was amazing, very spacious and comfortable. The pictures online made the room look big, and I think it was even bigger in real life. We were here during the July 2019 heat wave (temperatures between 100F and 109F) and the room was always comfortable. The Air Conditioning worked really well. The hotel has elevators, not always available in Europe. The front desk staff were super nice. We were able to find free street parking every day we were there, but the hotel parking is also very reasonably priced. The hotel is a very short walk to Chateau de Azay-le-Rideau, and is in a quiet area of town. The Wi-Fi worked well. When I booked this hotel, I couldn't believe how good the reviews were, but this place definitely deserves high praise.
