The meal choice was very limited but in December with only one other couple staying at the hotel this was hardly surprising. Communal areas and the bedroom need decorating and updating but the room was warm, the bed was comfortable and there was plenty of hot water.
At the end of the day you get what you pay for and in that respect it was "value for money"

Give this one a miss.
Posted 22 Oct 2018 on HotelsIf we hadn’t have been so tired after a long drive, we would probably just have walked out. Very, very old fashioned, I don’t think it had been decorated in 20 years or more. Not dirty as such, it just felt and looked it. The bed sheets were clean, but un-ironed and very creased, so gave the impression that they had been slept in. All doors on the corridor needed a spray of WD40, they made so much noise on opening. Do not bother with breakfast, just not worth it whatever they charge. No plates, lukewarm coffee from a flask, a boiled egg and a tiny roll or croissant. Go to a local cafe instead. On a more positive note, the staff were helpful and friendly. Overall, a big disappointment.

Budget
Posted 1 Sep 2018Get what you pay for. We ended up not staying as had thought there was a hotel car park but was just street parking. As we had camper full of bikes and fishing gear did not feel comfortable leaving on the street.

Hotel Saint Louis

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Whole hotel needs refurbishment to modern standards.
Location: Centrally located. Shops and bars close by. Chateau in easy walking distance.
A fairly old and rundown hotel but close to the centre. Cheap.Too hot, no a/c.Needed to sleep with windows open on a noisy road.In future I would pay just a little more and stay in one of the newer budget hotels.

Lovely architecture and nice staff
Posted 23 Dec 2017I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I felt very welcome and the room was nice and clean. Quiet location but also in the middle of the main city still.

You get what you pay for? No, you get less!!

Pros: Short walk away from the town centre and it was clean.
Cons: Just about everything!
Location: Central. Short walk to town centre with cafes, restaurants and shops and close to nice views.
Person who booked us in was disinterested and did not give information regarding wifi password or hotel re-entry code. No information in room, either.
We were in Room 1, which was small and basic, but clean. The bathroom had a small tub and shower, which were fine, but the toilet had a completely broken wooden seat- had to wrap toilet paper around the broken bits or risk 'pinch-injury'. Floor tiles were breaking up and lifting off.
When we went to bed at 10:30pm, all was quiet and the bed was comfy. Great, at least we would get a good sleep - oh, how wrong can you be! The bar/club in the hotel revved up to a very loud volume at around 11pm and the techno 'thump-thump' accompanied us through the night until at least 3:30am, when I finally fell asleep. One of the worst nights of my life!
Breakfast was a waste of money - not much more than some dried up rolls served on a plastic tray - no plates. Suggest you take a short walk to nearby café for a cheaper and better start to the day.

Quaint hotel in a quaint little town
Posted 11 Jan 2016
Pros: I liked how quiet it was. It was also in great location in town. Everything was very walkable.
Cons: I think the breakfast spread could have been bigger, but it was good nonetheless.
Location: There is a castle in the town proper and many chateaus throughout the countryside. It is also an hour drive from Orleans.
The St. Louis is a reflection of the town of Chateaudun itself: It is quiet, cozy and comfortable. I stayed there with my girlfriend for three nights in mid December - we spoke little French, so our biggest struggle was communicating with the hotel staff, who were also the owners. They were wonderful hosts and our experience there was fantastic. The accommodations were much more like an apartment or bed and breakfast than a typical hotel - Large room and large bathroom. The restaurant attached to the hotel was terrific and also is the only place open in the town on Monday nights. I would recommend this hotel and would stay there again.
