Orléans, Centre-Loire Valley hotel rooms at the Balladins

"Super hotel only two minutes walk from the station. Staff were friendly and spoke English, the rooms comfortable and full of character, plentiful breakfast with good fresh food and the Hotel's own unique tea blend. And there is a lovely terrace garden on the roof."

"Le personnel accueillant et souriant La litterie très bonne. Bon petit déjeuner. Juste dommage que le matériel de la salle de sport soit partiellement hors d'usage, sinon tout est ok."

"Tout était parfait. Mention spéciale au staff qui est aux petits soins avec un grand sourire ! Merci !"

"Good location, but the hotel is showing its age. Rooms felt tired and could do with a proper clean. Facilities are thin on the ground. Fine if you just need somewhere to sleep, but don't expect much beyond that."

"L'enregistrement s'est très bien passé. Le personnel était très serviable. Les chambres étaient propres. Cependant, il n'y avait pas de radiateurs dans le salon ni dans la cuisine. Il n'y en avait qu'un seul dans la chambre. Après en avoir fait part à la réception, on nous a fourni un radiateur d'appoint. Mais cela n'a pas suffi."

"Room was tiny and noisy. Vibrated when people closed the door."

"Beautiful area . Great staff. Comfortable beds"

"I've stayed at a few Aparthotels run by this chain & know what to expect - in terms of apartment condition this was fine and walkable to the city centre. What made my stay difficult was the car parking. I emailed the property twice before arriving (on a Saturday) saying that I needed to park my car but nothing was done. I even phoned the number provided but they never replied. I ended up street parking which was not ideal. "

"The room is a little smaller like in Paris. There’s no elevator. Fortunately we were only one floor up. It was fairly quiet until you heard people walking up and down the staircase early in the morning. Regular shower not hand held like some hotels we stayed at. There was paid parking across the street. It was a short approximately 10 minute walk to the centre of town. It’s a very clean city with lots of trees and flowers. The sidewalks are beautiful with very nice tile bricks. "
