Hotellerie Saint Yves

First be aware the rooms are very small. That’s was fine for me; but very small. Bed was comfortable. Also I was there during the recent heat wave, no air conditioning. Room stayed hot all night. If you are going to drive to the hotel, make sure you have GPS; otherwise very frustrating. Also be aware, hotel front desk closes between 12 noon - 2pm so no one is available to let you into the hotel parking lot. . Same situation after 8pm. However; once you check in, you’re giving a card that drops the security barrier to let you into the hotel parking lot. The great news is it is extremely close to the Cathedral. The breakfast cost 10 euros and was fabulous and worth the cost!! Bottom line; if you can check in after 3pm and before 8pm, if the weather isn’t very hot and are ok with a very clean but small room, I highly recommend it! If I go back to Chartres, I’m staying there! Another note, the area surrounding the Cathedral has very good restaurants and USA comfortable also. Note, if you are going to walk the Cathedral labyrinth; as of present, it is only available to walk on Fridays between 10am-5pm. I meet a few people on Saturday who missed the walking the labyrinth experience. Finally; there is an unsecure place to hold your luggage before & after checking in & out.

Location is amazing, half block away from the cathedral. Hotel is a former monestary, so rooms are bare but clean & functional. Perfect for a short stay. Staff is very friendly and helpful, breakfast buffet was satisfactory, walking distance from many restaurants. We were really glad we found this hotel. It was a much different experience from the usual.

Bring your own soap, no airconditioning in room and the heat was very good for a very cold May, the additional cost for the breakfast: hard boiled egg, limited cold cuts, bread, coffee was not worth it find a restaurant that serves crepes. The elevator was slower than taking the stairs. Beds were good and the view from this top of hill location was the best. Parking (bring skinny cars exit from one door only) is limited to about 25 cars (there are 50 rooms so more walk than drive), there were a few open spaces early in all 3 mornings,

Before coming to this hotel please prepare your way. We were wondering around the hotel for 1 hour after Waze and Google maps failed to lead us. When we arrived we found out that the check in time is until 8PM and no one available in the hotel and no one is answering the telephone. We had to look for other hotel

Excellent location. Spartan but comfortable. Exceptionally clean. Excellent front desk person.

The location is amazing, the rooms are comfortable, and the staff very friendly and helpful. Plus, you get to drive in the otherwise off-limits downtown and have free parking! The breakfast wasn’t worth the extra money, though, and the internet access was limited to the lobby area.

Location is ideal for visitors to Chartres Cathedral - 1 minute walk. This is a very bare bones Church run facility. My single bed, with bath, room was plain, almost like a monk's cell, but immaculately clean and up to date. Wifi in my room was iffy due to thick stone walls and a weak router signal. Alternative wifi locations were available outside my room. The included continental breakfast was good. Highly recommended for the price and location.

Interesting hostel included an art display. It provides accommodation for groups of people attending conferences. The amazing cathedral is about a hundred yards round the corner.

Great location. Former monastery, thus spare in furnishings. However, well-done. Bathroom smallest I’ve seen, but everything’s included and it was new.

Very near the cathedral and the walking tours. Do not miss Malcolm Miller at noon for his tour.
