What a great hotel. Very decent, but most of all a great location right at the downtown area and only blocks away from the Chartres cathedral. The hotel offers quiet courtyard rooms with good beds. Additionally this hotel is also walking distance from the train station, only an hour from Paris. Train tickets a little over 11 euros each.

Busy hotel located right next door to the extensive pedestrianised centre of Chartres. Surprisingly no dropping off bay at the front of the hotel for bags so I parked my car myself in the 1000+ public underground car park in front of the hotel and checked my own luggage in. This is unfortunate as despite earlier TripAdvisor comments, it is... More

This hotel calls itself four stars, an in some aspects it is, but in the others it is not even near. It sports old style elegance and charm, nice spacious rooms, bathrobes in the rooms and a good spa with a nice pool. At the same time there are no bellboys - nobody is there to help you with your...

Spent 4 wonderful days (3 nights) in Chartres with my mum, sister and friend. We stayed the first night in another hotel, but thankfully our last two nights in La Grand Monarque....would have stayed forever! From the moment we walked in the front door we felt at home. The staff are absolutely amazing, super friendly, courteous, and very good humoured.... More

We stayed only briefly at the Grand Monarque on our way back from the South of France, it is superbly located only about a 5 minute walk from the Cathedral and old city. There is plenty of public parking in the underground car park in the square on which the hotel is situated or for 8 euros you can have... More

We decided to stop in Chartres on our way south, as we usually bypass the city. My wife chose this hotel as it was Valentine's night. It had good reviews. They called us shortly after our on-line reservation to inform us that they were holding a Valentine's dinner/dance and would we be interested - they had one table left. Despite... More

Stayed here for one night on our way South. A really nice hotel - booked an adjoining double and triple for the kids. Lots of space and everyone very happy. Free wi-fi. Friendly restaurant, right in the middle of town and McD's right opposite if you need a snack. Parking was in the underground public park. A little pricey, but... More

We stayed here in February 2013 as a family of 5. Well situated hotel for visiting Chartres. Nicely appointed adjoining rooms, with wonderful fabric decorated walls. We ate in the Michelin starred restaurant Les St Georges on one night and were very impressed with the whole experience, On the second night we ate in Le Cour (the other restaurant) and... More

We had a fantastic break in this hotel. 2 adults and 2 young children slept very comfortably in the clean and beautifully decorated family room. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is superb! Location is great for the cathedral visit, there is also plenty of secure underground parking (albeit paid separately) across the street. The spa is perfectly... More
