Overall clean, tidy. Strange that we make our own beds using clean sheets provided on arrival. Not pleasant when dining outside to have neighbours below or alongside smoking. Perhaps the property could consider a non-smoking block of rooms. Despite these concerns, really enjoyed a relaxing stay here.

Great place to stay. Loches is an incredible town and the lodging has a perfect view of the castle and is right across the street from the entrance. Great place for families.

Wonderful place, we really enjoyed our stay. Our only negative point was that there is no air conditioning which makes sleeping uncomfortable. The only other issue we had was the restaurant that was recommended by reception the le Latin bistro I have never met such a nasty person as the female owner. She refused to take our booking for eight and on the second night when we asked for two tables of four it was met with sourness and rudeness. Avoid if you can.,there are other nicer places in the vicinity with lovely people who welcome you and interact.

The apartments are extremely well equipped with every thing you could need. I stayed on the second floor of building 2. That building has an extremely good view of the castle and tower, which are lit at night. Depending on the time of year there is bright sunshine on your deck and into the living space.

First the good bits. The location is wonderful: the view from the balcony is of a 500 year old royal castle, the apartment is comfortable, the pool warm, the staff both friendly and helpful. The not so good bits. The bedroom of a 1 bedroom apartment is an 8x6 box, it has room (just) for 2 single beds. The beds are not suited to anyone over 5'6". There is no air-con, so in hot weather you can either close the window and cook, or open it and wake up nice and early when the staff come past. The kitchen was designed for someone 6'6" tall. My wife (5'4") could not actually reach the cookware and, if using microwave, had to guess at the state of the food. Finally the town of Loches appears to shut d own at 8.30 in September. If you want a meal after that, buy a takeaway pizza, if you want a drink, make sure you have something in the apartment. I realize that last has nothing to to with Moulin les Cordeliers, simply a warning for Future guests.

This place is lovely, it is right in the centre of a gorgeous village steeped in history. It’s walking distance (literally just over the road) to everything the village has to offer eg restaurants, shops and market day. The chateau is also in this village and there is a brilliant view of it from the apartment window. So top points for location. The apartment itself is also actually very good for the price paid. Clean and tidy, comfy beds and living space and small but efficient kitchen. There were just a couple of negatives. No air conditioning at all or even fans that can be borrowed from reception. We visited this place with an 8 month old baby and the weather that week was 30 plus degrees so this made our stay very uncomfortable. We bought a cheap fan from the local supermarket in the end. The bedroom is also very very small, literally just enough room for the two single beds. Generally this is a great place so I would recommend it but as long as you don’t go in the height of summer and expect there to be air conditioning.

We had a great stay. The kitchenette was very useful and so were the laundry facilities. The location cannot be beat. The bedroom was very small but we knew that. The main downside was the pillows on the beds. They were awful. I had to use my travel pillow. We stayed during a holiday weekend and the pool was loud with all the kids using it but that did not bother us. If you don't want to hear a lot of noise I would ask to be in the B or C building if you are renting an apartment with a balcony (which I recommend)

My wife and I used this as our base camp for exploring the Loire in August 2017. The hotel was very nice, our room overlooked the river and had a great view of the the castle. The rooms were spacious too. We loved the proximity of the hotel to medieval city because we could spend the evenings drinking and eating just across the river in the city. We were very happy with the small town and lack of tourists but it is not ideal for seeing a lot of the more popular castles in the Loire because of the longer driving times. We were able to get to Amboise and Château de Chaumont, but that was as far as we went because they were 30-45 minutes drive.

Excellent location in Loches. Will definitely stay again.

The bedroom was like a cell. It was ugly and depressing.

The staff was very friendly. The hotel is built on an old mill site right next to the ancient gateway to the city. Very picturesque. Balconies have a glass enclosure that can open which is great for adapting to weather. They do not have regular housekeeping and pool closes at 7:45 pm.

close to restaurants, market, cité royale. Very comfortable and spacious. We come here every year.

Awesome location in a extraordinary, historically interesting town. It is a block from the Main Street and the Saturday market. Unlike what is found in the U.S., this is a "vacation-style" lodging, with separate bedroom, a kitchen "wall", table, sofa bed, and outside patio with table. Like a cabin rental in the States! You need to make your own bed and you are in charge of your housekeeping. At the end of your stay, you stack your linens and towels, do your dishes, and sweep a bit. Everything is furnished including cleaning supplies. The complex is lovely and it features a large common area and inside/outside pool. We are now making a point of staying in other places in which this hotel chain has units.

The apartment was very well appointed but some aspects very disappointing. As Australians travelling and using self catering apartments we have come to expect that dish washing liquid, tea towels, etc would be supplied. The same of at least one packet of dishwasher powder for the dishwasher. The floors of the apartment were in need of vacuuming and cleaning. There was a vacuum cleaner in the apartment, but no mop. Almost all of the cutlery and plates needed washing before use. The apartment had a wonderful view across the road to the old city and our apartment had a large balcony with table and chairs, which we were unable to use as our neighbour was a heavy smoker and chose to smoke on the balcony, not in their apartment. Hence all the smoke wafted through the slats to our balcony and into our apartment if the sliding doors were open. Another thing that we were unaccustomed to was that all the linen was packaged in plastic bags and we had to make up our own beds. Not a huge problem, but unusual for us. Apart from that we had a wonderful stay in Loches. It is a lovely place, everyone was very friendly. Also very close to a lot of the chateaus.

My wife and I stayed a week in Loches. We found Loire Valley fascinating, with all of its castles, which we visited several of them. We also visited Zoo Beauval (over 4600 animals) located nearby Saint-Aignan. We had a car so we had the freedom to explore at our leasure.

clean, quiet even if in the city centre. staff very friendly and helpful. Definitely an address to remember
