After the bustle and congestion of Paris, The Hotel Diderot was a wonderful place to decompress and discover an actual piece of the French heartland. The family owned Hotel dates back to the 16th Century and is located in the charming town of Chinon in the beautiful Loire Valley. Our room was quant, comfortable, and the beds were great. The historic downtown, great locally restaurants (one of the best meals we had was in Chinon) and midievel fortress were all in walking distance as was a beautiful river walk area. The house breakfast was fantastic. If you want a real French experience, The Hotel Diderot is a great place to do it!

Stayed here as part of a cycle trip along Loire. The hosts were very helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Room decorated in beautiful French style and very clean. No air-conditioning but excellent fan! Breakfast very fresh and tasty and they started serving at 7:15, which suited us perfectly. It was the best room / stay we had during our entire trip - just a shame it was only one night.

This was my 2nd visit to the hotel (April 2023 being the first). This is one of my favorite hotels in France. Location is perfect - with great restaurants within walking distance and its situation in the Loire is perfect for car daytrips to Chateaux. It got cold my week there, and the room was toasty warm and the heated towel rack was a great bonus after a shower! The breakfast of homemade jams, fresh breads and local cheese is just right. After staying in many historic hotels in France, I can say without a doubt that the Hotel Diderot is the cleanest and most comfortable I have experienced.

What a beautiful, characterful hotel. Full of history and quirky little details. Our room overlooked the hotel terrace and garden and was immaculately clean. The king sized bed was comfortable and additional pillows and blankets were available. The bathroom and toilet were separate but both modern and spotlessly clean with plenty of towels. Excellent shower! Breakfast was lovely with a fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, fresh apple juice, fresh bread and croissants and a range of delicious jams and marmalade. Service was exceptional- personal and attentive. The location is spot on with a 10 minute walk into town and car parking on site for 4 euros per night. Perfect stay.

Gorgeous hôtel in the historic center of Chinon within walking distance to everything! Breakfast includes a wide selection of Jamie’s house-made jams to dollop atop your picks from the basket of fresh breads, hot pots of coffee, and local newspapers all to be enjoyed in front of a cracking fire. Comfortable beds and roomy bathrooms! This was our third stay and we will continue returning again and again! Thank you for another lovely stay Jamie & Jean-Pierre

I had an older room on the top floor, street side. Bed with French bolster pillow was not comfortable. Noise from window, especially from motorcycles, made it difficult to sleep. Not particularly friendly staff: Example: Would not change a 20 euro note for me and didn't seem to care. No computer for guests. Homemade jams for breakfast were very good. After reading the reviews here, I was disappointed.

Though we booked a room overlooking the parking lot as it was the last remaining room in the main hotel, it never came near the eating others have provided. It smelled of mildew and smoke - they need to air that room out. The interior left much to be desired. We advised that we could not stay there, the staff took us to the annex to show us two other rooms. As we entered through the door, a stronger mildew and mold odor hit us. We said no thank you and left.

Lovely 17th century inn with good facilities, 10nin walk to a lively town centre. They have nice wines and short menu if one wants to eat in and excellent breakfast. The Castle itself has an elevator from town centre and a view of the town and river. Not so exciting compared to others in the Loire.
