Hotel Restaurant Du Lion D'Or Chateau-Chinon

Review by hotel critic

As a French native with a penchant for authentic experiences, I recently had the pleasure of staying at Restaurant Du Lion D'Or for a unique insight into the blend of charm and potential that this establishment offers. The room, while basic, exuded a certain rustic elegance and was equipped with all the essentials one might need for a comfortable stay. the ongoing renovations promise an upgrade to the accommodations, hinting at a future of elevated luxury. Despite the initial scruffiness, the room's sunlit ambiance and en-suite facilities were satisfactory. The highlight of my stay was the communal supper hosted by the charismatic owner, who doubled as the chef. the convivial atmosphere, accompanied by delectable wine, provided a glimpse into the heart of French hospitality. the central location added convenience, and the value proposition of the 55 euro room rate including meals was commendable. While not a conventional luxury hotel, Restaurant Du Lion D'Or offers a distinctive blend of character, warmth, and potential. For travelers seeking a one-of-a-kind experience with a touch of chaos, this establishment is a delightful choice at an attractive price point.
