My only regret was that we didn't have more time to spend at this lovely hotel in this beautiful and historic city. The suite had two main rooms, with a tiny additional room with a desk. We appreciate your loyalty to our brand. We booked close to the fantastic Cathedral and the hotel was nice, well organised, great large clean room and to our surprise, a bar full of people having fun ! The reception staff was very accommodating and helpful. We hope that you liked it ! We ate both evenings in the Brasserie and dined we'll from a shortish menu.

Since the price for a Confort one (available for use of BW points) and the Family room is not the same, indeed, the additional fees concerning the category of room had been added to your bill. Chartres Cathedral is minutes away. Next time I am in France with the wife, i will definitely bring her to Chartres and the Grand Monarque. I did mention this to the waitress when she collected our dishes, she just shrugged. Thank you very much for sharing your experience toward the TripAdvisor community.

The room was rather warm and airless so light sleepers might want to ask for the duvet to be switched to a sheet and blanket. Service and quality of the food was good but not the best in France. Highly recommend. Everywhere spotless. We wish you a very pleasant day, Best regards La réception, Dear Roger, Thank you so much for this very kind comment about your last stay in Le Grand Monarque. grand_monarque28, La réception at Best Western Grand Monarque, responded to this review Dear Sir, Thank you for sharing your stay in Chartres with us.

This is a very handsome hotel at the edge of the medieval town. If so, we really apologize and remind you that we are at your entire disposal 24 hours a day. The hotel is also very central to all the sights of Chartres but is still quiet for a good night's sleep. I must mention that sadly I have forgotten the name of the young lady who checked us in (and earlier than expected). I got back to the hotel at 2.30pm and went to my room number 201 which was a 20m deluxe room. Our room overlooked a quiet side street and was very clean and cosy. We are very satisfied that you enjoyed the differents services that the establishment propose and that you spent a wonderfull stay in Le Grand Monarque.

Indeed, the Brasserie La Cour has a amoving roof that is really appreciated especially during spring and summer season. We are very satisfied that you fully enjoyed your time and your confort here.

We advise you to taste it next time :) We wish you a nice evening Best regards La réception, Dear Madam, All the Grand Monarque team thank you for choosing Le Grand Monarque for your stay in Chartres. The bed was absolutely supper, including the pillow quality which is often lacking in hotels. We dined at the brasserie twice and also had two breakfasts there. To cap it off, the very friendly and excellent front desk girls advised we see the light show and we walked back to the cathedral. We only had one complaint, but it was annoying enough, that I probably wouldn't stay there again, it had to do with the parking. We usually advise clients to book it in advance in order to be sure to get a place in our private parking (because of a limited number of places). Book the Best Western Premier Grand Monarque Hotel & Spa - Stay at this 4-star spa hotel in Chartres. We had a very comfortable night here. Excellent .

La Cour is a delicious restaurant located within the facilities. Really good with excellent fresh choice. Thank you very much for sharing your experience toward the TripAdvisor community. You should have requested it before being arrived and it would have been a pleasure to give you exactly the room as you wanted at your arrival. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Our room was decorated in pale blue and silver, and was large and lovely with a hardwood floor. We were too tired from traveling to complain and didn't want to sound like "ugly americans" so we just went to sleep as best we could. Decent aircon. Standard type of breakfast. Valet parking needs to be booked (a tip for planning). Your satisfaction is also ours, and we are very satisfied that you spent a lovely stay in Chartres and a relaxing time in our establishment. Breakfast was great and they even had gluten free bread for me. Neither corporate or eclectic, a happy compromise of individuality and high specifications. The hotel's elegant service, nice restaurant, private garage and location in the heart of c Lovely hotel to stay , very convenient as near the city centre and the cathedral . The room was decent enough if a little old. We are looking forward to receiving your next dates :) Best regards La réception. We were given a beautiful and large accessible room. Rooms small but comfortable with OK bathroom with, in our case, a shower over the bath - - although the shower was poor at temperature control.... Quiet. The bed was super-comfortable. Larry & Kelly, Georgetown,TX. The room was excellent and the bed huge and very comfortable. The staff were cheerful, always a smile, very helpful, answering any tourist questions, queries and suggesting the evenings luminere. It is in one of the central squares and you can walk easily to see all the sights. We went to Chartres to see the Cathedral which is really lovely. The reception arranged parking and the drop off was the most tricky part of the visit, with the hotel situated centrally to the large pedestrianised route around the square. There was no attempt to direct us to bar food or even room service, just a dismissive attitude. Its always been welcoming, clean, and efficient and now has two good restaurants. We hope to welcome you again Have a very nice day Best regards La réception. It was the most scrumptious bed we have had in a long while, reminding us of New York luxury. hotel had no available parking for us. Best regards. Close to the cathedral. Our son's room was on the front of the hotel, very large accommodating a king size double bed plus a large double bed settee.

Boil your own eggs, lovely fresh and dried fruit, cereals, meats and cheese, croissant and pastries all washed down by copious fruit juice and freshly made coffee.

Best Western Premier Grand Monarque22 Place des Épars28000 Chartres, Votre inscription a bien été prise en compte. There was a lively buzz in the lobby bar which we enjoyed, the hotel staff were very friendly and helpful providing excellent service when you wanted it.

We hope that you will have a the opportunity to come back again, it will be a pleasure for our team to welcome you one more time in our sweet home Have a very nice Sunday Best regards La réception.

The light show in this area is a must-see at this period of the year, we're happy for you that you had the chance to enjoyed it ! Of course, we remember you. Sincerely, Front desk team, Christine G, Greater London, United Kingdom, Dear Guest, Thank you for completing the survey regarding your recent stay at our property. We were so impressed with our rooms, which were newly remodeled, and finished with very nice fabrics and details. I was very disappointed with the swimming pool which was so tiny you couldn't actually swim in it. We hope that you do understand the situation. The best part of the visit, aside from visiting the Chartres sites, was the front desk staff, especially a young man named Alexander, who couldn't do enough. Indeed, the hotel is located very close to the Cathedral (10 minutes walking) and to the pedestrian center of the city of Chartres. My brother and I stayed here over the weekend 19/22 May 2017 as we were going to the Moto GP in Le Mans. grand_monarque28, Réceptionniste at Best Western Grand Monarque, responded to this review Dear Sir, We are glad that you appreciated your room and had a lovely stay here. However, that was no problem, as there is an excellent, large, well-lit and secure underground carpark a few metres away. We really enjoyed the visit; wished it could have been longer. We hope you will come back and see us again soon. The bar is quaint, comfortable and charming. La disponibilité en dernière minute ne peut être garantie. After a long rainy day, we were too lazy and cold to go out to eat for dinner so we decided to just go downstairs, but after checking online realized it was probably the best restaurant in Charters. A lovely stay. This 4-star hotel has 58 guestrooms and offers conveniences like 2 restaurants, a full-service spa, and a 24-hour fitness center. We had a fabulous stay at the Grand Monarque and enjoyed a superb dinner at Le George. Noise between the rooms could be a problem. grand_monarque28, Réceptionniste at Best Western Grand Monarque, responded to this review Dear Madam, Be sure that your satisfaction is our priority and we are very satisfied of your feedback. It has an excellent restaurant too. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon! The room was large with a king sized bed - unusual to find in Europe in this price range. :) Regarding your room, next time, do not hesitate to contact the reception if the room doesn't fit you, our team remains at your disposal to make your stay the best possible. Michelin 1-star restaurant. Lounge and restaurant are very nice. It was €148 a night so for the price I would expect that really. Your booking was made through Best Western website. Our team is of course also at your disposal for any advise or any help such as porterage service if your need. In previous reviews, some people have said that anything you need for your stay must be taken from the car before it is parked as there is no access until it is returned. The toiletries were poor quality. One of the reasons for choosing the Grand Monarque was the secure parking for the car which was a short walk down the side road. All in all, the hotel did all that we could have expected and was reasonable value for money, but it's probably more descended from the Best Western side of the family than its Grand Monarque roots! grand_monarque28, Réceptionniste at Best Western Grand Monarque, responded to this review Dear Madam, Dear Sir, We are very glad that you've been sensitive to the charm and elegance of our sweet home. My problem was that we booked through an internet site and got it at a good price,we thought the staff were very snobby about this. Further to your request (at the check-out) we've accepted to use your BW points for the payment of your room. It was staggering. The fact that the problems have not been fixed tells us all that we need to know - the owner/manager simplt does not care. We would be glad to welcome you back. Before entering the main street again, there is a parking place for taxies on your right and you can park your car there to rush into the hotel (30m) and make your check-in. We are so happy we did not just take a day trip out of Paris. 22 Place Des Epars, Chartres, FR-28005, France. Hoping to see you back, best regards.

The spaces are also very large and we were very impressed by it. We hope that you will come back very soon with pleasure and we invite you indeed, to taste our gourmet restaurant Le Georges that we're sure, will seduce you :) Have a wonderfull 2019 year !

However I would recommend this hotel, the staff alone are a delight. Halfway between Chartres and Versailles, the Best Western Amarys is nestled in a quiet setting that will make it a perfect base for all your leisure activities. Generally the hotel is comfortable but these two rooms were not!

Excellent location near the Cathedral and shops. All in all, the Grand Monarque is an excellent hotel which I would strongly recommend. We look forward to welcoming you back. The Cathedral is beautiful & well worth a quick visit. We are glad that the room you were in had totally seduced you as well as the kindness of our front desk team.
