Angers is well laid out for a visit of a night or two: many hotels are located just outside the door of the city's main train station, the Gare d'Angers Saint-Laud SNCF, which is also the location of most car-rental offices.

One hotel, the nice little two-star, 19-room Hôtel Marguerite d'Anjou, is more central, just opposite the mighty walls of the Château d'Angers and across the street from the Office de Tourisme. We had a comfortable, air-conditioned room here with a fine view of the château. We were happy we had booked a premium room, since it had AC (other rooms may not), and it got to 40°C/104°F while we were there! The genial proprietors, Pierre-Louis and Christophe, also operate the friendly, sedate café-bar on the ground floor.

Near the Train Station

Get off the train, exit the Gare d'Angers Saint-Laud, and you'll find several good hotels right opposite the station.

We've stayed comfortably and thriftily at the friendly, family-run 3-star, 29-room Hôtel de Champagne, but the 3-star, 41-room Hôtel Le Progrès would have been a good choice as well, as would the 2-star, 45-room Citotel de l'Universe and the 3-star, 52-room Grand Hotel de la Gare.

The thrifty 2-star, 25-room Hôtel Iena is only one block north of the train station.
