Unbelievable Novotel Blois Deal: Loire Valley Luxury Awaits!
Unbelievable Novotel Blois Deal: Loire Valley Luxury Awaits! – A Review (With a Side of Chaos)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into this "Unbelievable Novotel Blois Deal!" They promise Loire Valley luxury, and frankly, after a week of trying to decipher French train schedules, I was READY for some serious pampering. So, did it deliver? Let's break it down, shall we? And by "break it down," I mean, let's embrace the glorious, messy truth of travel.
Accessibility & Getting There (The Pre-Hotel Frenzy):
Okay, first things first. Accessibility. They say it's accessible, but how accessible? This is crucial. I need to know, because dragging a suitcase (or, in my case, a SMALL ARMY of them) across cobblestone streets is NOT my definition of a good time. The Novotel promises Facilities for disabled guests, and an Elevator. Excellent. That's a HUGE win. It also has Car park [on-site, free of charge], another huge plus. The Loire Valley is car country, so that’s perfect. Airport transfer is listed too, but frankly, I’d probably have walked the remaining 200 meters with joy if I could've avoided having to find a taxi. Getting to Blois itself was a bit of a saga, involving a train delayed longer than my last relationship. This is where the Airport transfer would have been a godsend, I could have arranged beforehand.
I was pleasantly surprised to find CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property. I'm not saying I'm paranoid, but seeing those cameras always makes me feel a tad safer, especially at night when I'm wandering around in search of late-night cheese and wine.
Entering the Realm of Relaxation (Things to Do & Ways to Relax):
Alright, time to unwind. Let’s talk Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, and Massage. This is more like it! After a week of chasing castles and dodging tour groups, I needed to be kneaded. I'm not normally a "spa person" (too uptight, too busy worrying about spilled tea), but after all that walking, even a tiny bit of pampering felt like a divine calling. And the Swimming pool [outdoor] looked absolutely divine, even though my attempt to swim laps ended as a quick dip before running for cover from a sudden downpour.
I also took advantage of the Gym/fitness center, though I'm pretty sure the only thing I "exercised" was my ability to make a fool of myself on the elliptical.
The Rooms: My Personal Sanctuary (and the Occasional Bathroom Mishap):
My room? Oh, it was an oasis. Air conditioning? Check. Blackout curtains? DOUBLE check (hallelujah for escaping the sun and getting a good rest!). And talk about the comfort of the bed, it was an Extra long bed! Non-smoking was an absolute given. It even had all these extras – Bathrobes, Slippers, you know, the kind of things that make you feel like you’re living in a five-star lifestyle. Free Wi-Fi was a necessity, and thankfully they deliver on that promise with Wi-Fi [free] in the rooms and Internet access – wireless. I have to admit, I was pretty ecstatic about the Coffee/tea maker because I can not wake up without a good cup of coffee.
Then there was the bathroom. The Separate shower/bathtub was an absolute luxury. I swear, I spent an hour just thinking about taking a bath, that's how good it was! Oh, and the Toiletries? High-quality stuff, not the cheap, stingy little bottles you find in some places.
The only tiny hiccup? The hot water felt a little fickle one morning. A very minor thing, but still, worth mentioning.
Dining, Drinking & Snacking (The Art of the Croissant):
The food situation was… complex. The Breakfast [buffet] was pretty good, but nothing mind-blowing. You know – the usual suspects: croissants, eggs, some fruit, and a weird, rubbery sausage that I cautiously avoided. But there was Coffee/tea in restaurant to make the situation a bit better. There was a Restaurant on site, and I went there one night. The A la carte in restaurant was the main feature of the menu. I had the Salad in restaurant - nothing outstanding, but it was edible.
The Poolside bar was perfect for getting a drink while watching the sunset. The Happy hour was a total winner! I wish I could have tried some of the Asian cuisine in restaurant, but my tummy was not up to something new that day.
Cleanliness & Safety (The Germaphobe's Delight):
Alright, this is where the Novotel REALLY shines. They're taking this whole post-Covid thing seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products were everywhere. They use Professional-grade sanitizing services, do Daily disinfection in common areas, and they have Hand sanitizer everywhere. They also have Staff trained in safety protocol. They even offer Room sanitization opt-out available. Seriously, if you're a germaphobe like me, you can breathe easy (and maybe even let your guard down a little).
I appreciated the Safe dining setup, the Sanitized kitchen and tableware items.
Services & Conveniences (The Little Things That Matter):
This is where the Novotel really impressed me with how convenient and thoughtful everything. You had Daily housekeeping, meaning a fresh room every single day. Even the Laundry service was spot-on. They have a Concierge, which is always a lifesaver when dealing with tricky train tickets. Plus, the Cash withdrawal made it easy to pay for all the souvenirs I couldn't resist.
For the Kids (Because Family Matters): I didn't have kids with me, but it was obvious that the place was super Family/child friendly. They have Babysitting service and some dedicated Kids facilities.
My Verdict: Is This Deal “Unbelievable”?
Okay, let's get real. This isn't a flawless experience. There were some minor hiccups. The food could be better. But for the price? For the location? For the general level of comfort and cleanliness? This is a fantastic deal.
My “Quirky Observation”: I’m pretty sure I spent more time at the pool than I did exploring the actual Loire Valley. Oops.
My emotional reaction: As I came to the realization I had to check out, I was already looking for the next deal!
The Bottom Line: This Novotel Blois deal offers a solid, comfortable, and convenient base for exploring the Loire Valley. It's clean, safe, and offers a good balance of relaxation and convenience. Yes, the "luxury" isn't all over the top, but for the price point, it's a definite win. I'd book it again in a heartbeat.

Okay, buckle up Buttercup, because we're not just writing a schedule here, we're building a memory. We're talking a chaotic, glorious train wreck of a French adventure, centered (loosely) around the Novotel Blois Centre Val De Loire. Emphasis on loosely.
The "Blois, Blois, Baby!" Itinerary (aka, Pray for Me)
Day 1: Arrival & Initial Mayhem (aka, Where did my scarf go?)
- Morning (ish) - The Airport Embrace (and eventual betrayal): Arrive in Paris. Sigh. I hate airports. Why do they always feel like waiting rooms to purgatory? The good news? I managed to keep my sanity (and passport) in one piece! Jump on the train to Blois, already feeling the French magic of the countryside… or maybe that's just the stale croissant crumbs clinging to my sweater.
- Anecdote: I swear, the first time I took the TGV, I panicked. I thought I was going to get stuck in a tunnel under the channel (yes, I'm dramatic). Turns out, it's pretty smooth sailing, as long as you don't hyperventilate.
- Afternoon - Novotel Rendezvous & Room Roulette: Check into the Novotel Blois (hopefully it's not too far from the station – my feet are killing me already). Pray for a decent view. Seriously, is there anything more depressing than staring at a brick wall after a long journey? Unpack (or, more accurately, attempt to unpack. Half my suitcase looks like a bomb went off. Where is my favourite scarf? I swear I will find it.)
- Quirky Observation: The French seem to have mastered the art of the "chic sneeze". Seriously, they manage to be graceful even when expelling bodily fluids. I, on the other hand, sound like a dying walrus.
- Evening - Dinner Delirium & First Impressions: Stumble (literally) into the city center. Find a charming little bistro (or whatever's open and not totally tourist-trap-y). The pressure is on to order something that doesn't involve a "special sauce" – I'm convinced those are always secretly mayonnaise based. Emotional Reaction: The first sip of the local wine. Pure bliss. This is why I travel. This is why I put up with airports.
- Messier Structure: The first restaurant – ooh la la! I was sure this was the ideal place. The bread? Delicious. The service? Slow. The over-enthusiastic waiter who kept pronouncing my name as "Shuh-RELL" was a tad irritating, but the food was nice.
Day 2: Castles, Cathedrals and the Curse of the Croissant (aka, My Blood Sugar's a Rollercoaster)
- Morning - Chateau Crazy & Cognitive Overload: Breakfast at the Novotel (grab all the croissants! You know I can't resist those flaky devils). Then, it's castle time! We're talking the Chateau de Blois, because, you know, we're here. I love the architecture but I'm not sure which century I'm in. So many chambers! So many history lessons! My brain feels like it will explode.
- Anecdote: I attempted to pretend I understood French to impress the ticket seller. I think I asked her where the bathroom was, in relation to the secret passageway of the castle. She just looked at me blankly. My attempt at sophistication totally failed.
- Afternoon - Cathedral Contemplation & Tourist Traumas: Visit the majestic Blois Cathedral. I'm not religious, but standing under those soaring arches always gives me a spiritual jolt. Then, a brisk walk through the town square (dodging selfie sticks like they're plague carriers). Emotional Reaction: The street performers are so talented. That accordion player almost made me cry. My wallet, on the other hand, is feeling a little empty.
- Opinionated Language: The shops here…they. are. overwhelming. So many cute little trinkets – I WANT THEM ALL! But I also want to keep my bank balance above zero.
- Evening - Dinner, Delays and Despair: After my afternoon stroll through the city, I get back to the Novotel. The internet here is as slow as molasses. After a few hours, I decide to catch dinner. I get to the restaurant with about thirty minutes to spare, and I am seated at the table. The food is awful. I am tired.
- Messier Structure & Occasional Rambles: I'm getting homesick. I miss my cat! This whole trip is a bit stressful, to be honest. I just want a quiet evening. But. Then I remember why I came here. This is good.
Day 3: Gardens, Goodbyes and the Great Scarf Hunt (aka, This is the End of My Trip)
- Morning - Garden Glories & Final Thoughts: Visit the beautiful gardens in Blois, a very beautiful experience. I try to absorb as much of the beauty as possible before I leave.
- Stronger emotional reactions: The gardens are amazing, so much different from anything I have seen before. I could stay here forever.
- Afternoon - Travel Preparation, and Tears: Time to pack! Again. This time, I plan to organize my things, but that's a fool's errand. Get to the station, and back to the airport. I am so sad to leave the city.
- Opinionated Language: I leave with so many memories. I also feel a slight sadness, because it's coming to an end.
- Evening - The Airport Shuffle & Back to Reality: The travel is long and I am exhausted. I am so happy to see my cat.
- Doubling Down on a Single Experience: I spent the whole trip looking for my scarf. Which I ultimately find after I had returned.
- The End
