Hotel de Rosny

I stayed in this hotel for about 3 nights and I really don't have any complaints with this hotel at all. It's really close to the main train station of Tours and is surrounded by lots of cafes and resnts and all, but surprisingly is actually very quiet. The rooms are small, but very clean. As in, spotless. For the whole "mum and pop" mgmt look this hotel portrays, it sure is run very professionally.

The room is fairly compact but spacious enough, every room has a flat TV screen hanging on the wall, the bathroom has hot water and the amenities filled up on a regular basis.

My few complaints with this hotel is the cost of breakfast - for 7€, you really get nothing other than a hard piece of bread, a croissant and terribly cheap cereal. Next, the owner, whilst cheerful doesn't speak a word of English. I had no problem as I speak French. But for those that don't, it really does become very difficult.

The final thing was the owner himself - the man's a moody cow. Most hotels in the area offer b'fast, rather, are supposed to at 7am. I just casually asked him the previous night what time b'fast will be ready and he said 7am. I had to leave the next day at 715am and didn't have time for b'fast. But he was under the idea that because I asked him what time b'fast was being served the previous night, that he thought, or rather, it was implied that I'd be forking 7€ for that shit! And then I said I was in a hurry, and so for that he put on a pouty face and generally scoffed off in anger. Seriously, the man's a spacecase. LOL!

But overall, I'd recommend this hotel. Really, hotels are expensive to begin with in Europe, and everyone generally complains about the noise levels and all... this hotel is quiet and peaceful in the middle of a noisy area. Oh, and very safe as well!
