Worst place ever. Hotel was locked when we arrived at mid-day. No wifi. No parking. No towels in room until we asked. Not enough toilet paper. Owner was unbelievably rude. Room was dirty. We were the only guests. No one was present when we went to check out. A nasty experience. I'd rather stay in the Bates motel.

Nightmare hotel

We had a spacious, clean room at this little hotel, with a large bathroom.  It's in the centre of a small town in rural France.  Charming exterior facing an historic square and ancient church.  David our host spoke excellent English and was very accommodating.  Breakfast the next morning was very good.  Gated private parking at the rear of the hotel was a bonus.

Good basic accommodation in an historic square

I think we share very  similar opinions to the last reviewer. I saw this hotel as we drove through the town a couple of years ago and loved the look of it. The connections with Proust seemed an added attraction. I tried a few times to book it and it always seemed busy. It just had to be something special. And it's true that the hotel is fresh, nicely decorated and light. No dusty carpets, dark corridors and the moquette covered walls that you so often find in French provincal hotels. The room and bathroom were spotless, if  compact. The trouble came in the evening. It was impossible to find a bar with some outside seating on an unusually  warm evening and the choice of restaurants was really limited.  As so often in France, so many places were closed. It does make you wonder just why people come - maybe it's for the places around the town itself. As we walked around deserted streets, I remembered that actually the Proust I have read - only one book - was actually rather tedious.  I don't think we would come back, despite the best efforts of the hotel owners.

Nice little hotel, pity about the town

It feels a liitle niggardly to give this hotel 3 stars, it is probably 3 1/2; it is just too plain and basic to rate "Very Good".
Nicely located on a pleasant provincial church square it is just 2 minutes from the Proust Museum, which I would have thought was the only reason to visit Illiers-Combray, but other reviewers seem to have found more, as did Proust, so this may well be my lack rather than the town's.
The hotel is well looked after and the staff warm and helpful. Parking is easy.

Satisfying Provincial Hotel

I booked this for a one-night stay on the way through France, we were not disappointed with it. It is a lovely little hotel which sits in the church square. We were in the top bedrooms which were small but really lovely, clean and with lovely views of the square. The man at reception was very friendly. I didn't sleep too well because of noise outside but I think this was just unlucky and in the morning the market was setting up from 6am so that disturbed us too. Breakfast was nice. It is not that close to the motorway but worth the trip. There was a nice pizza restaurant just down the street and the hotel had a small private car park.
