Normally we are budget travellers but took the chance on this hotel. It is well looked after in a lovely building. Service is slick but friendly, and it doesn't suffer from the feeling of just being a chain hotel. Well named because it is in a quiet street yet very close to the old town, the most interesting and vibrant part of Tours. The room was comfortably furnished, and the bathroom luxurious.

We had a great stay at the Best Western Central hotel during our Val de Loire trip. The hotel is located in the centre of Tours, with nice restaurants in the near vicinity. Nice staff too.

This was our second visit, the first was 8 years ago. The hotel didn't appear to have changed but it had obviously been looked after as there were no signs of wear and tear.
Our room, on the first floor, was compact and well appointed with a view out over the centre garden. The bathroom was very modern.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
We stayed for 3 nights. A large tour party on our first morning made breakfast (completely self-service buffet style) somewhat chaotic - would have been frustrating if we'd been on a timetable.
Otherwise we found this to be well located and quiet and would definitely return on another trip to the city.

my husband & I stayed here in early Nov. 2004....and we thought it was lovely...we had a room on the top floor & could see out over the rooftops of the city....comfortable, modern room...spacious bathroom....still a european feel even though a chain....good location for walking to old town....we found (thanks to the man at the front desk) one of the best restaurants on our whole trip in a nearby square....Brasserie La Bure...typical old fashioned brasserie....excellent wine & food....reasonable prices
