This is the typical joint that has been quickly and badly upgraded in order to -I guess- get better overall ratings.    But wall are still paper thin, pool still closes at 19, restaurant is closed moot of the time etc

overpriced slum

Chateau-Chinon is the nearest thing that the Morvan area has to a large town, and in its small centre is this good-quality Logis. The welcome and attitude of all staff was always friendly and positive.
Rooms are of varying sizes and shapes, and some have baths as opposed to showers - best to ask if this is important to you. Some rooms are up a very narrow and windy staircase - there is no lift.
Our room (34) was of a good size, was comfortable and well-fitted. The wi-fi worked faultlessly and there was a quiet air-con machine on the wall. Beds were comfortable and noise insulation pretty good.
The hotel has a smallish raised pool, open during the daytime in summer. This was a great way to cool off after a day’s walking in the region.
The restaurant is excellent and offers a good choice of tasty dishes at sensible prices. Some tables have excellent views out over the surrounding countryside.
Breakfast was good but pretty standard. Good, hot drinks from a machine. Supplies were always topped up when getting low.
There is some parking outside the hotel, but plenty nearby in the town.
Definitely the place to stay if you are based in the area.

Good quality logis with an excellent restaurant

Stayed here with my wife on the way from the Loire to the Alps. In spite of requesting a room on a lower floor because of my wifes difficulty with stairs we were given one on the second floor up the narrowest and steepest stairs we have encountered in an hotel. We asked to change rooms to one on a lower floor and the receptionist was about to do this when a manager stepped forward and said there were no other rooms available. The receptionist left matters with the manager but I am of the view that there was another room but we were not going to get it. We knew the restaurant would be closed and we found somewhere in the town to eat. 
The biggest disappointment was that the swimming pool was closed. In 30C + temperatures all I could do was gaze longingly at from a window. For reasons below the hotel management  only open the swimming pool on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We were there on a Monday so it was shut. The reason is that they insist on issuing special towels for pool use and charging 10 euros deposit on them when they do. The person who issues the towels and collects the 10 euros only works on the 3 days. We stayed in two other hotels in the few days after this, one left pool towels in the room for guests, the other had a big pile of towels next the pool and a laundry bin to put the used ones in. Neither hotel felt the need to charge towel deposits. Its crazy to have such a facility then annoy guests by making it unavailable. Overall we were very disappointed in our stay. Unhelpful managers and some strange management decisions. The room, once we managed to get to it was clean and comfortable. This hotel needs a lift and a sensible policy for its pool. 

Dissappointing stay.

Lovely room, warm and spacious and comfortable bed. Nice shower room. The restaurant has the most amazing view across the Morvan valley. The food was excellent and well cooked, the staff very friendly and helpful.

The view

This was a return visit for us. Very charming setting. Not the best parking, try to find a space in the road as the car park is very steep. Friendly reception and we were taken up to our room, a larger double with a single bed in it. Unfortunately the bed and pillows were not comfortable, the bed being soft, the pillows lumpy and the duvet plain weird, lumps of filling in pockets. Such a shame as our previous visit was much better. 
Very small showroom but it did the job. 
We dined in the restaurant on hake. Perfectly adequate but uninspiring and a fondant with was more brioche than cake. Nonetheless very tasty. 
Would still recommend but not as highly

Return visit 

Stayed for one night and was very pleased with the hotel in general. Rooms smart and clean with modern fittings. En suite was functional if a little on the small side (that is only to be expected with retrofitting en suites in older hotels) but it did not cause us any problems. We did not try the restaurant but it looked good. We would love to stay here again and try the restaurant, if and when we find ourselves in the area again.

Last minute over-night

We didn't have too much time to enjoy the facilities here as we were on a busy business schedule arriving well after midnight. The sky in the area was beautiful as there are few streetlights that time of night (for the astronomers among you). The room I had overlooked the pool and had a view to the east so there was a wonderful sunrise. The bed was comfortable. Breakfast was simple but adequate. The price was very reasonable.
