What guests think

At Best Western Plus l'Artist Hotel, travellers consistently highlight the convenient location near Tours' main station, friendly and helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, and a well regarded breakfast, creating an easy, low stress stay for business and leisure visitors.

Several reviews mention spacious rooms and tasteful, modern decor. A recurring drawback is the very tight underground parking entrance and limited clearance for larger vehicles. There are occasional reports of noise, climate control quirks, or mattress comfort, and a few note brusque service or slow response late at night. Overall, expect a straightforward stay with solid value.

Good hotel which I've used many times in the past. Centrally located near the train station with the centre of Tours being walkable in 20 minutes or so. Room was clean, as was bathroom. A/C worked and the wifi was sufficiently fast. I didn't take breakfast as I needed to leave early. Underground car park was cheap at 11/eur per night. However, its a bit tight if you have a big car.

駅からも近くて、レンタカー会社も近くて大変便利だった。肩肘はらず家庭的でフレンドリーな雰囲気がある。このランクのホテルとしては、部屋のデザインや備品その他細かい所に気遣いが感じられ、清潔で居心地がよく、またバスタブもあり、リラックスできた。団体ツアーバスも利用しているようだったが、団体客の利用が気になることはなかった。ただ、残念なのはエレベーターの故障、事前に断りのメールが来ていたが、重いスーツケースがある旅行客には非常に不便である。スタッフは助けると言ってくれたが、女性スタッフだとやはり断ってしまう。短期間に修理できないのが残念だ。でも、総合的に好印象のホテルだと思う。

Very welcoming and helpful on check in. Our French is not very good but between us and the receptionist we managed to understand each other's Franglais. Nice breakfast spread with plenty to chose from. Car parking was €10 in the underground car park opposite the hotel, so convenient enough. Unfortunately one of the radiators in our room cannot be turned off so I had to open the window to cool the room down a bit before sleeping and again in the morning. The bed was also rather uncomfortable - a bit lumpy - so not the best night's sleep.

We had a very comfortable stay at the Artiste hotel. The cleaners were incredibly thorough and cleaned the room every day as if spring cleaned. Disappointed there was no dining or even lunch option, but the bar is always serviced by desk personnel and breakfast buffet was extensive. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful and language was never an issue.

The location is convenient for coming in by train as it's very close to the train station. It's also very walkable to nearby restaurants and shops. The staff were friendly and professional. There was a confusion at check out where they asked me to pay taxes that I was already asked to pay at check-in but when I showed him the charge on my credit card account he allowed me to not pay it even though his system did not show it was paid. They also informed me directly after check-out that I had left some jewelry there and offered to ship it to me. I was then immediately contacted by a contracted company they use for shipping to set it up and only had to pay around $40 for 2 day shipping. Overall, the room was spacious for European standards and very well designed. We enjoyed our 2 night stay here.

Ett fint, välordnat och trevligt hotell. Stora prisvärda rum, väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam personal och god frukost. Vi hade fina dagar i Tours och det utmärkta hotellet bidrog till det.

We had a very comfortable stay at the Artiste hotel. The cleaners were incredibly thorough and cleaned the room every day as if spring cleaned. Disappointed there was no dining or even lunch option, but the bar is always serviced by desk personnel and breakfast buffet was extensive. Everyone was so pleasant and helpful and language was never an issue.

Well located, very easy to walk around. The hotel felt a little bit old, but the rooms were fine. The breakfast was good. The staff were friendly as well.

Three day trip to Tours, France. Hotel is very close to the main train station and easily walkable to all of the main attractions and shopping. Breakfast was good with plenty of options and self-service everything. Check in guy was a little brusque but everyone else was friendly and helpful.
