Hotel terbaik di Saint-Jean-le-Blanc

Empreinte was a stylish, well appointed hotel with a wonderful location and beautiful views right on the Loire River. Parking was in a town garage, very close to the hotel and extensive shopping and dining were all with 5-15 minutes walk. It was a perfect location for touring and learning about the city's history, and the locals were incredibly friendly and inviting. The downstairs bar was an unexpected treat, with a wide selection of drinks, a smaller selection of snacks (although a full European breakfast) and attentive and warm bartenders. We arrived on the day of the release of the 2023 Beaujolais Nouveau and the hotel had a welcome happy hour with complementary glasses of the Beaujolais and heavy hors d'oeuvres--a fantastic welcome on our first night in the City.

Hotel médiocre, très bruyant. Petit-déjeuner spartiate (mais aimablement servi). J'ai vécu une expérience désagréable puisque mon arrivée a eu lieu après la fermeture de l'accueil (à 19h00 !)... Immeuble fermé ; la porte ne s'ouvre qu'avec la clé de chambre que par définition je n'avais pas. Pour récupérer sa clé, il faut appeler un numéro de téléphone... qui ne répond pas (malgré plusieurs tentatives)... J'ai été sauvé par un client qui m'a ouvert la porte et qui se souvenait miraculeusement du code du coffre à clés où ma clé de chambre m'attendait sagement... S'il n'était pas arrivé, j'aurais dû me trouver, au pied levé, un autre hotel...

C’est un petit hôtel le long d’un grand axe et bien situé pour visiter le centre ville. Les doubles vitrages sont très efficaces. Le style est minimaliste mais il y a tout ce qu’il faut. Le petit-déjeuner est un peu limité mais bon. Un bon point à l’accueil du réceptionniste qui a fait tout ce qu’il pouvait pour nous aider. Il a même monté nos sacoches de vélo dans les chambres. Chapeau, nous n’avons pas souvent ce type d’attention y compris dans des hôtels bien plus classés.

For a three star hotel, it is more or less what I expected. Rooms looked fairly recently renovated, the decor and design are modern and stylish. Don't expect large spaces in the rooms or the bathroom, I guess this is a characteristic of these central blocks of flats. Unfortunately the cleanliness of the bathroom left a lot of room for improvement with uqestionable pieces of hair around the sink, on the towels and in the shower, and layers of calc on the shower door. Some of the room doors can only be shut from the outside by slamming them, that's very unpleasant in the middle of the night, not to mention hearing everything your neighbors do and say. The bed and pillows were pretty uncomfortable for me, too hard for my taste, but some people might find them to be perfect. Reception is closed from 10 PM, and we had the chance to test out the hotel's emergency number (our cards were only programmed for one night, so we weren't able to get into the hotel or our rooms at a little after 10 PM), which was a delight, the night manager responded quickly, was very apologetic and kind, and resolved our issue promptly. Breakfast is quite limited, no vegetables whatsoever, some cold-cuts, jams, eggs, a few types of cheese, bread, pain au chocolat, etc., however the breakfast room looks great. Staff was quite friendly, we opted for the nearby parking lot with a discount from the hotel. Our ticket was validated at the hotel, and we paid for it there, but we did have to pay an additional 2 EUR at the parking lot upon leaving. The location of the hotel is amazing, everything we wanted to see was pretty much at a walking distance.

Dated looking concrete hotel overlooking the Loire and easy to find if you don’t miss the turning. Excellent and cheap open air parking behind the hotel. A lot of building work going on (pool closed, temporary reception etc.), but we stayed at a weekend so no noise. Large, light room, a bit dated, with huge window and balcony overlooking the Loire, but also overlooking noisy main road and bridge. Luckily double glazing and aircon effective. Good bed, good lighting, including bedside lights but no sockets by the bed. Storage fine. Decent TV with BBC and CNN. Good WiFi. Bathroom good with modern walk in shower. Smart, rather cramped restaurant/breakfast room, with windows screened to hide building work on the pool. Good breakfast selection but very limited dinner menu (4 mains). Food distinctly average but excellent waiters and very professional service. Quite a walk to the old centre, with the cathedral, vast art museum and restaurants. All staff friendly and helpful.
