Reviews for Sohotel
Review 1：Comfortable small hotel convenient location and easy to park. Staff very helpful and good breakfast, but don't expect the facilities of a large city centre hotel.
Review 2：Even though the hotel was half empty we were given a tiny room with a view over the backstreets. Nothing like the photos online. It was a great disappointment
Review 3：Good location
Review 4：Asked for extra pillows on first night...never materialised. Removed soap one day without replacing it, no mount for shower so difficult to wash hair..8 euros extra per person for traditional french breakfast...coffee croissants jam etc a bit unexpected which may be our fault but certainly reduced value rating. Spiral staircase....42 steps to 2nd floor
Review 5：Very clean, one member of evening staff spoke english, towels removed every day. Comfortable bed (but could have done with the extra pillows over the stay) Quiet with good views over river
Review 6：No elevator! But it isn't really that big of a deal and seems to bepretty common for hotels in the French countryside.
Review 7：Cool swanky looking rooms. Nice bathrooms, comfortable beds.
Review 8：The hotel could do with a really good clean and some aspects definitely below par, especially the bathroom e.g. paper on the bath panel was peeling. The breakfast was poor and 8 euro's per person bought us a croissant and cold coffee.
Review 9：Location was excellent and staff helpful and friendly. Shower was good and lots of hot water.
Review 10：A little noisy inside ..could hear other guests on creaky stairs/ floorboards. Reception unmanned from around 9pm. ..noisy english party awoke us at 1.30 am ...not the hotels fault but who would we have contacted if a rowdy situation had continued? Stairs steep for oldies. Asked to pay before check out
Review 11：Clean room in a great location in city centre .Several restaurants within 5 mins walk. Car parking easy in Free public riverside location 50 yds away.Hotel is what you would expect from a mid range older building that been economically updated.Breakfast was good. Receptionist was helpful booking in.Would use again for Saumur due to location and parking
Review 12：We had a little difficulty with the reception/booking.They didn't seem to know we were booked tor two nights.
Review 13：Loved the funky refit, lovely and light with great colours to make you feel at home.
Review 14：The young lady could not get her credit card machine to work so I had to pay cashr
Review 15：This is a lovely place with a good view of the Loire. It is clean and comfortable
Review 16：Very tiny room with pretty cheap furniture. It ok for a night but definitely not with the price of around 70€/night. Even though you have the view of the Loire from the rooms stating "Blick auf die Loire" (sight on the Loire) they cannot be recommended as they are along a main street and pretty noisy. If you are a cyclist (likely at a location nearby the Loire), you will not get far with the breakfast :(
Review 17：friendly staff; could park my bike safely in a separate room
Review 18：Quite dated rooms Only 1 power point, none in bathroom Floor creaks Movement Quite noisy between rooms
Review 19：Location in proximity to town centre Friendly and helpful staff
Review 20：Breakfast quite expensive for this class of hotel. Stairs to rooms quite steep.
Review 21：Room was clean with an excellent view over the Loire - good to see a tea tray in France!
Review 22：Location near centre of town. Free parking nearby (not private to hotel). WIFI included in price. Breakfast optional. Kettle in room (I booked superior with Loire view so not sure if standard or because I requested it). Quiet part of town but has the river road running along the front so some traffic noise.
Review 23：Breakfast for 8 Euros was pitiful.
Review 24：Spacious triple room with two windows overlooking the Loire - old hotel but updated - new WC/ shower. Short walk to brasseries, bars and restaurants. The Saturday market in Saumur was terrific.
Review 25：Small room, short bed (if you are 1m90), no real wardrobe. No lift. Simple breakfast. We think that we did not get enough value for the price we paid.
Review 26：View on the Loire
Review 27：Good value for money clean staff friendly and breakfast adequate. Good location and excellent parking available opposite by river. Area has masses to offer.
Review 28：Not very soundproof rooms No tea/coffee facilities No air conditioning Expensive and limited breakfast
Review 29：Purple room! Excellent English of the receptionist I was unwell in the morning of checkout however (as we had ordered it) they kept breakfast open for my husband until we were ready to leave. Fantastic location
Review 30：No air conditioning, no elevator, old and a bit disgusting bathroom, awful price-quality relation. This is not a hotel but a glorified hostel. A nice shade of coverage of a former housing block turned into as many rooms as possible.
Review 31：The location is great, and the decoration is nice. Clean and functional rooms.
Review 32：Walls a bit thin, noisy at night when people came back... Top room was hot, needed a fan or air con

Review 92：Showers and towels were good
Review 93：We are both in our 70s and our room was on the third floor. There was no attempt to help us with out luggage and there was no lift. We only needed a room for 2 but ended up in a room for 3 and we were not offered a room for two on the lower floors.

Review 100：This small well appointed hotel is in the middle of Saumur overlooking the River Loire. The welcome was enthusiastic and the room was a delight in every respect. A beautiful fresh breakfast capped the stay. Saumur is a small city and was a great spot for an overnight stay after a long drive from near the Spanish border
Review 101：Loved the SoHotel in Saumur. Fabulous spot right in the heart of thecity next to the River Loire. We had the front room with a littlebalcony on the first floor, so lovely views. The rooms are small, butperfectly formed and have everything that you would need - includingvery good free WiFi.
Review 102：No soap dispenser in the shower and no shower gel provided (had to hop out to use dispenser by wash basin).
Review 103：Good location. Clean. Comfortable bed. Quiet room. Reasonable parking for motorcycles. Friendly staff. Able to make a decent cup of tea at breakfast.
Review 104：Unfortunately not staffed 24/7 and access is by code which you don't receive until checking in, also no aircon. in rooms so suggest a visit when temp. is below 25 deg.C
Review 105：Excellent staff very clean and tidy with nice rooms and facilities
Review 106：Unobscured top window in the bathroom let in the light early in the morning. Extending the blinds upwards would prevent this.

Review 108：The internet did not work in the room, just down the hall.
