Accommodation in Orleans – recommended hotels and vacation apartments

This is the hotel in Orleans. It sits right on the banks of the Loire River, so you can drink coffee in front of the view in the morning. There is an excellent spa here (sauna, hammam) which is a lifesaver for your feet after a day of classes between castles.

For those who want to escape the city without going too far. The hotel sits within a huge green park (Floral Park), offering a true rural experience with 4-star comfort.

The Mercure chain is always a safe bet. The location is strategic on the river, there is a pool (a hit in the summer), and very importantly – private parking (for a fee), a rare commodity in the city center.

Excellent all-suite hotel located a little north of town (Saran). The rooms are very spacious and have kitchenettes, and there is also a gym. Ideal for business travelers or families with a car who want easy access to the highway.

A 4-star hotel in a prime location that receives high marks from everyone who visits it (a score of over 8.5, says Darshani). If you are looking to combine easy access to the city center, good restaurants, and the familiar comfort of the Novotel chain – this is absolutely the place for you.

A real gem. A family hotel that has been around since 1903 with a lot of soul. The design is charmingly vintage (and not outdated), and there is a cute roof garden. One of the most beloved places in the city, and rightly so.

If you're tired of "heavy" hotels, this is the place. Young design, full of greenery, functional rooms and super-friendly staff. The location is central and the atmosphere is light and modern.

A hotel that didn't appear on the previous lists but is worth mentioning. Located in a relatively quiet area but close to the center. The rooms are renovated and modern, and it offers a higher standard than regular 3-star hotels (after all, "Plus").

A practical and efficient hotel in a great location. The rooms are renovated and modern, the air conditioning works great (important in the summer!), and they have private parking (a bit crowded, but available).

One of the most affordable 3-star hotels in the city (with a score that easily exceeds 8.5). It sits right on the banks of the Loire, and a short walk from the city center and restaurants.

On Rue du Cloître Saint-Pierre Empont, five hundred meters from the House of Joan of Arc. The concept is the same as that of Frenchdoor in Tours: you enter alone with your phone, no reception in the conventional sense, and customer service is available around the clock.

Fantastic location in the heart of the old town. Small and modest hotel, but the staff are great and the price is very fair for such a location. No elevator (so pack light), but the atmosphere makes up for it.

An old, simple hotel located about a 10-minute walk from the center. Its big advantage is the quietness and the friendly price. Clean rooms, nice breakfast and kind owners.

A great budget solution. These are basically small studio apartments with a kitchenette, at the price of a cheap hotel. Everything is new and relatively clean. Great for those who want to save on restaurants and prepare something small in the room.

Genius concept: a combination of a hotel and an apartment. Independent entrance with a code, stunning modern design, and a fully equipped kitchenette. Everything is new, clean, and in a great location. One of the trendiest options in the city.

An apartment that has been awarded an official 3-star rating. Located in the historic heart of the city, in an ancient building with lots of character (wooden beams, exposed stone) but with all the modern comforts.

Spacious 2-bedroom apartment, ideal for families. Located right in the historic center, 300 meters from the House of Joan of Arc. It has everything – from a washing machine to a full kitchen.

An apartment that has received a phenomenal score of over 8.5, and rightly so. It is located on the charming Rue Sainte-Anne, a stone's throw from the main squares and everything that is good in Orléans.
