Best Western Plus Hotel Colbert — Hotel in Châteauroux

We stayed at Hotel Le Colbert in November. Had no idea what to expect. Chateuroux was much larger than we expected, but the hotel was super easy to find and the car park was entirely secure ... electronic gate with coded entry and planty of spaces. Pedestrian entrance directly opposite reception door. There is also plenty of street parking right outside. The building history is very interesting but I won't spoil discovery for you here. Greeting was very friendly. The hotel is again, unexpectedly upmarket, it's been created with great care. The huge windows you can see to the first floor and above ... they are room windows, and the ceilings are very high. The whole room experience is excellent, comfortable bed, plenty of space. If there is anything not in keeping with the tremendous design of the hotel rooms, gym and public spaces ... it's the bathroom. Everything about the bedroom exuded space ... the bathroom didn't. But it's a small point. With a little more thought the designer could have easily offered a double-sink arrangement. The restaurant offering for dinner is really very good. The service is friendly, efficient and not overly attentive. Staff are very keen to explain or translate for those of us not able to speak their language. WiFi is a strong connection throughout the property ... for free! All in all, it's a great hotel, value for money and we'll be using it again when visitng the factory we went...

Excellent hotel that ticks all the boxes: room with a window that can be opened onto a quiet courtyard extra door between bedroom and corridor for super quiet and privacy with bathroom (« comfort » room, don’t know if all rooms have this) comfortable bed with bedside lights lots of plugs and usb ports walk in shower secure open air parking to park a tall Land Rover really excellent breakfast including own freshly squeezed orange juice and eggs and 3 types of muesli and 4 types of milk alternatives and fresh fruit and quality tea excellent restaurant for dinner a bar that serves Brooklyn Brewery IPA on tap and last but not least, super staff starting with the lady receptionist on duty Saturday night 10 Feb and right through to the breakfast attendant who walked us through the layout of the breakfast buffet so we found everything we needed right away.

The only very small issue was that the extractor fab of the bathroom in our room was not working. I reported it and I am sure it will be fixed...

This was a carefully chosen overnight stop en-route to and from Spain based on other guests reports.||Everything about our stay was excellent and breakfast was the best we have ever experienced in France.||Parking is in a secure car park directly across the small side road at a small cost.||The building is a converted (2006) old tobacco factory and regional government offices adjacent to the hotel.||We had a good value local steak (€22) on the way down and veal medallions (€18) in whiskey on the return. ||A good choice of reasonably priced wines on offer but beer at €7,90 for a half litre was overpriced!||On the Saturday morning the owner was present at breakfast and showed a real interest in his guests.||This will definitely be a regular venue on...
