This is a lovely old Relais de Poste, converted into a luxurious property. Everything was great. Nice sized rooms, lobby, bar, and breakfast. A fantastic location a few minutes walk from great restaurants and the Cheap Away le Rideau. An EXCELLENT value.

The room was excellent- very comfortable bed, clean and well presented and with a fabulous wet room 👍 We have stayed at the Grand Monarch before but not for a few years. The upgrades since our last trip are of an exceptionally high quality.

Great Hotel, Wonderful A/C
We used this hotel as our base during our visit to the chateaux of the Loire Valley. It was perfect for this. We had a triple room, and it was amazing, very spacious and comfortable. The pictures online made the room look big, and I think it was even bigger in real life. We were here during the July 2019 heat wave (temperatures between 100F and 109F) and the room was always comfortable. The Air Conditioning worked really well. The hotel has elevators, not always available in Europe. The front desk staff were super nice. We were able to find free street parking every day we were there, but the hotel parking is also very reasonably priced. The hotel is a very short walk to Chateau de Azay-le-Rideau, and is in a quiet area of town. The Wi-Fi worked well. When I booked this hotel, I couldn't believe how good the reviews were, but this place definitely deserves high praise.

Comfortable, clean hotel in the centre of the town. Perfect. Staff very friendly And polite. Dinner was delicious with very attentive waitresses. Buffet breakfast I thought was a little on the expensive side. This is the 3rd time I’ve stayed here and thoroughly recommend it.

We had a lovely stay at the Grand Monarque. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming. The room on the second floor, with an elevator, was clean and bright. Centrally located in Azay-le-Rideau, close to the chateau. I would truly recommend it.

Pleasant stay in the Loire valley
Hotel is located in the center of a small French town in the Loire valley. Gated parking was provided and the hotel has a fine restaurant where we had both dinner and breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful; there are sights to see in this small town in addition to its proximity to Chenonceau chateau.

Another overnight stay
This was our third overnight stop at Monarque and we have always enjoyed our stay. The rooms are of an old style but beautifully maintained. Clean and tidy. The staff are terrific and always helpful. The secure parking nearby is a further bonus. Centrally situated this makes and exceptional stop off point when traleeing further afield.A bit pricy but worth it.

I just loved this place!
This was just a great experience! I have never met such friendly, gracious helpful staff, especially the front desk. Most of them spoke English really well. The breakfast was excellent with lots of choices of breads and pastries as well as eggs, cold meats and cheeses. They could have had a little more fruit but was amazing otherwise. The have dinner served in their lovely courtyard. It was a small menu but delicious and expertly prepared. There are several other restaurants and bars nearby so you have choices. The room was clean, the bed was comfy, the bathroom was modern and the shower was excellent. The AC had a little trouble keeping up with the extremely hot weather but it was still a lot better than not having it. Good driving distance to a lot of the chateaux and wineries. There is 1 lovely chateau within a 5 minute walk. I heartily recommend this hotel!

True gem in Azay-le-Rideau!
Beautiful, well maintained hotel with wonderfully appointed spacious rooms and a great location. Beds very comfortable.Within very close walking distance to the Chateau d'Azay-le-Rideau, shopping, and restaurants. I cannot say enough about the owner, Eric and receptionist Isabelle. They define exceptional customer service. My husband became very ill and their concern and action at this time was beyond expectations. This IS the place to stay in Azay.

Overnight stay.
We have now stayed at this hotel on 3 occasions on our way further south. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and make all of us very welcome. Nice large rooms and a beautiful old building in the centre of town. Locked parking is also a bonus. First class hotel if a bit pricey.

Charming traditional hotel next door to castle.
This was a charming hotel in an old building. The proprietor was exceedingly helpful and kind even coming outside on our arrival to help us find a car park. He gave us a kettle so I could make an early morning cup of tea. Breakfast great value with beautiful locally made jams. Highly recommended.
