Disappointed
Checked in they tried to get a table in the restaurant only to be told it was fully booked. Sat in the bar with a drink then an hour later by a different member of staff was told we could get a meal. Food arrived and was cold and undercooked so sent it back only for new food to arrive and yet again part of the meal was stone cold

Hotel is in a convenient location close to a great bakery, supermarket and pharmacy. The rooms and pool area could do with a refresh but overall a good stay, and great for families. Free on site parking too.

Friendly staff always a smile, and clean. The hotel was tucked away in a corner of a small housing estate and not well signposted from the road. If you do not have the sat Nav co-ordinates it is not obvious where the hotel is located.

Nice lobby, but delapidated, dirty hotel. Broken lift not mentioned by check in staff, nothing around, and scant info from staff. Booked a triple room but 3rd bed was a short bed with an old brown blanket , and no duvet. Best avoided.

Overnight stay while visiting the Chateau.
The AC in the hotel was not working. They said it was some units only but after trying 4 rooms we slept in the heat and it was a hot summer night. The breakfast was closing earlier then mentioned and was sparse and not being replenished. We didn’t have the hotel breakfast.

The manager tried to make nice at the end, but, with words only, so what is that worth? The main problem with my stay was Alexandre. A night manager who is so improperly employed in the service industry that I wonder if he is a relative. The hotel is literally empty. They put me (their one customer who booked for multiple nights) next to the washing room. Where the maids get their supplies and they wash all the linen. Much noise? Early in the am? When I asked the dim wit at the desk to move me, she looked like I asked to stop the world from spinning. She calls her overlord and he and I almost come to blows over the issue. I must have stopped him from an important Facebook chat. They finally move me. The room was ok. Bad bath and the shower curtain was too long. The beds took up all the space but the room was new. The outside of the hotel isn't though. The exteriors have years of caked on soot. Those white paint photos are either years old or touched up. when I looked into the bar and café there didn't seem to be anybody on call. They could fix things easily and cheaply and get a good review. But, Alexandre is probably in charge of that and he needs time to send D pics from the company computer.

Response from Laura A. - Front Office Manager on 16 Jun 2018
Dear Sir N.B., Thank you for your feeback about your recent stay in June among us. I already apologized in front of you about the issue you experienced with Alexandre at the reception. Be sure that this is not our step of mind and it is unusual. However, you are realy rude concerning Manon, the young lady at the front desk because she does not speak well english, she did not understood what you were asking for and that's why she asked Alexandre's help. I am also surprised by your comment about your room considering that we spoke together at your checked out and you did not mentioned that. Thank you again Sir Anonymous and all the Villa Bellagio's team wishes you a nice day. Regards,

Out of town hotel in Blois
If you are planning to stay or stop over at the Villa Bellagio I wouldn't recommend it. We arrived just before the check in time at 2pm to be told that the kitchen was now closed despite the hotel information saying 2.30 - not something you want to hear after a 5 hour journey with children! The photos show a nice hotel with a pool and various facilities for children however the reality was very dissapointing as the hotel is rather tired, not particularly clean and seemed to have few staff. Breakfast was sadly chaotic as there seemed to be one member of staff so they kept running out of things. I guess the lesson to learn is pictures don't always tell the whole story!

Adequate
For an overnight stay the hotel was acceptable with good room facilities. However breakfast was another story. Half the tables still had previous occupants crockery as had not been cleared up. The other half were occupied. I asked one of the staff to clean a table for us which he did but then gave our table to another group despite me standing there. When he did lay another table there was no cutlery so I helped myself at the staff cupboard. At this point others did the same as service was very slow. Adequate choice for breakfast however and slow to replenish fruit juice. Not a good way to end a good stay

Two nights at Villa Bellagio Blois.
Our stay was for 2 nights, visiting Blois. Check-in was smooth but when we got to our non-smoking room it smelled like it had been smoked. Went back to the reception and they immediately gave us another room which was fine. The room was nice and clean, rather large for French standard and price. Everything in the room was clean and in working condition. Breakfast was plentiful with god choice so I highly recommend. Great for kids as the hotel has a pool, a rarity in affordable French hotels. However not a recent hotel and grounds are not maintained as much as they should but the basics are right and so is the price. I would certainly return.

The two issues I had were: 1. It advertised BBC News available - When asked the clerk said it may be out and she'll call the technician the next day. 2. The dining area service was slow and the food quality was poor. I had the toughest piece of veal I have ever had, as did my wife. We brought that to the attention of the waitess, but she had no comment. Other than those issues, the hotel and staff were very good.

Wonderful Relaxing Place to Stay in Blois
I was there on business but brought my family. The Staff was very nice and helpful. The lobby was a great place to watch football or to just hang out with friends. The wifi is slow but I am sure that will soon be addressed. The place to stay if you like to be outside of the main city where you can enjoy the peace of nature. There is a trail with an easy walk down to the river Loire.

Room
Check in desk did not have us down for family room even though our reservation showed this. However, they did put us in a family room, downside was the '2 single beds' was a sofa bed & one mattress was on the floor. On the plus side, room was roomy enough, clothes hangers would have been useful as would have some tea bags or more than 2 sachets of coffee (4 people in room!). Shower was decent, powerful and warm. Check out easy.

Not bad, good location.
The Villa Bellagio Blois was formally a Novotel (Google maps/street view still shows it as this). It is situated in a good location within easy cycling distance (3 km) of Blois town centre or short drive. Chateau Chambord is also very close about 20mins drive. Which is great if you want to get there early to miss the queues and crowds (recommended). Rooms are modern and sizable (at least family rooms are) with a double bed and a sofa bed that converts to two single beds. Minor points stop this from being a really good hotel. For instance parts of the hotel feel a little tired decor wise. Our room's air conditioning was not particularly effective (opening the window wide despite the heat was much more effective) and the free WiFi was available, but connecting also too erratic. The room change laundery bags were often too much in evidence in the corridors. There is a pool, and the restaurant serves a buffett evening meal (at least the night we were there although we went into Blois to eat). Breakfast provides a good selection trying to cover most peoples preference, cereals, pastries, breads, yogurts, cold meats, cheeses, jams, spreads, hot bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, juices, tea, coffee, etc.

Keep away from this one mate.
Blois is a great place to stay but this hotel is not good. It's an old run down Novotel that has been bought but it has problems. The main issues are with room air conditioning which did not work (it was 35 degrees most days). We complained but nothing could be done. The breakfast is OK and the room was serviced well. On our last night that held a loud karaoke contest until 1am which meant our children couldn't sleep (we complained but again nothing). the hotel is run down. Staff were OK but we stayed here four nights and it was the worst of our hotels. I think you can do better.

Nice clean hotel
This hotel was very difficult to find and numerous local people could not pinpoint it. After driving around for more than an hour we discovered it at the end of a no through road. It offered a lovely room, bathroom and a good breakfast. There was plenty of parking space.

Good hotel - un-workable wifi
Hotel is good and the breakfast buffet also. What downgrades this hotel is that the claimed free wifi isn't stable and kicks you out every 5min if you ever have luck to connect to it in the first place. Also the dinner in the evening was poor. Food was barely warm and they burned black the vegetables and served them - un-edible.

Lovely hotel in quiet area
Stayed here for 2 nights in order to see Chambord Chateau and Leonardo Da Vinci's home (Le Chateau du Clos Luce) in nearby Amboise. The hotel itself is nice. It's in a quiet residential area with a few nearby shops and restaurants. The family room we had booked was a tad smaller than I expected but otherwise very pleasant. Initially we thought we were supposed to have a larger room :) Bathroom was well spaced. There is an outdoor pool but as it was December and 1C outside we didn't try it. Xbox 360 and pool table inside if you get board. Staff were helpful and friendly. WiFi access worked well. For those travelling by car there were plenty of free parking spaces. Breakfast was included with our room and had the usual contiental breakfast selection. There was also a small hot breakfast selection of eggs, sausages and bacon. Tea lovers should note that they stock Kusmi tea (if that is your thing!). Overall we had a lovely stay and would go back there if we decide to come back to the area.

Great overnight stay
It was a little difficult to find, the last important sign post was missing! Really nice welcoming staff. Room really spacious and light and clean. Fridge in the room. Good meal in the evening only spoilt by the fact that they bought my appetiser and my husbands main course at the same time, really odd!

Economical stopover for a family of 4
The Villa Bellagio was slightly dated, but clean. Beds were comfortable. The dinner and breakfast buffets were very good, with lots of choice (convenient with small children!). Cheaper than the Ibis; good for a stopover while driving down through France. 2 or 3 miles into the centre of Blois - not so handy for sightseeing.

Overrated Hotel providing motel style experience
Although the staff was very friendly and useful, and the kids appreciated the games area in the lobby, the condition and comfort of the rooms don't justify the ratings of this hotel. The carpet in our room should have been replaced about 5 years earlier and the beds weren't very comfortable.

Perfect stopover hotel from South of France
Great value family hotel - almost exactly half way between Dordogne region and Calais. Great facilities and room absolutely appropriate for amount paid. Pool very nice plus and well maintained. Breakfast was free for kids and as such was good quality and great value for our family of four. Ignore any bad reviews - this isn't the most luxurious hotel in the world, but isn't like it either. It is absolutely perfect as a stopover for any families who want to break the long drive home into two.

Functional hotel for an overnight stay
We spent a night here en route from the south of France with our two children. The room for 4 people was comfortable and clean, if a little small - the only problem we had was with the shower, which was difficult to work. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the pool and ping pong tables were an added bonus.

Not as good as it sounded
We got a "family" room that sleeps four but barely has any room left over. There was supposed to be wifi in the room but it only worked if you sat on the floor near the door. We hoped to do some laundry but the cost was 6 euros for a shirt and 3 for underwear or socks. Instead we went into town and used the laundromat for about 12 euros for a whole load. Because the room was so small we inquired about getting a second room. Although the posted rate is 130 euros we were told we would have to pay 150. We ate at the restaurant for dinner one night and the food was acceptable but nothing special The cost of breakfast was ridiculous so we went instead to a nearby boulangerie/ patisserie each morning and we mthoroughku enjoyed that
