Hotellerie Saint Yves

Parking difficilement accessible Accueil correct Chambre spartiate et salle de douche/toilette sur 1,5 m2…. Difficile de faire plus petit. Seul avantage ; proche de la cathédrale

This place is, I think, best described as a hostel for older folk. It seems to seek to preserve the rigours of its previous lives as a nunnery and seminary. My husband and I, after a rigorous pilgrimage à pied from Maintenon, were greeted by a cool but not rude greeting by the receptionist. We next went to our room on the third floor (there IS an ascenseur that was working!) and crept our way along an unlit corridor - eventually our key-card worked at our assigned room, and later we discovered some light switches. This feature, along with the shampoo dispensary accords this place a high eco-score! The room itself offered the austerities of one pillow each, and a window without a curtain, which would have let in plenty of light to rouse a reluctant nun or seminarian craving a bit more sleep. The shower was easy to use and had good pressure, but was slippery and spilled out over the floor. Beware all ye oldsters with fragile limbs! The neighbourhood was mainly quiet, but I was awoken by the “cloches” of the present age - ambulance sirens echoing over the valley that spreads out widely below the hôtelerie. Allof these discomforts would have been supportable if it had not been for the absence of WIFI outside of the 8am to 8pm corridor when we rigorous pelerins were not in our room. This was a rigour we, as a couple travelling without a leader, were not prepared to endure, and whichwe regarded as an ungenerous economy on the part of whoever now runs this place.

No parking, struggled to find the hotel, and it is all rather “Spartan” (basic).

Amazing location, very attentive staff. Destination in its own right. Loved our stay there.

Calme et propre. Petite chambre individuelle. Mais un peu triste ! Un peu de déco intérieure ne serait pas de trop. Bon accueil.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Great location. Nice bed, very comfortable

The hotel itself is lovely and very conveniently placed to visit the cathedral. However there are so many one way, very narrow streets, it's very difficult to find the hotel parking. You have to drive through a road bollard & get it lowered by pressing a button to ask. Nowhere is that mentioned & it definitely should be!

ottima posizione, spazi verdi e parcheggio, lenzuola non pulite e non sostituite dopo averlo richiesto, servizi minimi (non ci sono frigobar e asciugacapelli, la stanza è piccolissima, la finestra è alta e non accessibile)

ok!!

Small but comfortable room. Very convenient for cathedral, restaurants and shops.
