Hôtel de La Tour

So you heard Dinan was a great place to spend a few days while you’re visiting Brittany. You really know nothing about the medieval city, you don’t speak French and you need something that’s within walking distance of all the major attractions. I’m no expert on all the lodgings in the area, but Hotel De La Tour De L’horloge will likely suit your needs.
It’s a small boutique hotel right in the heart of the medieval town of Dinan. The building is old but the décor doesn’t fall into the cheesy touristy category, which is nice. The owner serves a quality breakfast and is quick to make recommendations in several languages on things to do/​see, details helpful if you’re not a native speaker (or even if you are).
A few gotchas to know about:
–The clock tower, which is a block away, chimes every 15 minutes from 7 am until 10 pm (I think). If you’re annoyed by this sort of thing or a light sleeper, don’t stay here.
–A third of the rooms are on the 4^th floor. That’s 60 steps with no elevator so you will definitely work off that crêpe you had between meals.
–The train station is a solid 15 min walk through town. Not really a big deal but something to be aware of if you’re lugging a heavy pack.
–There is no dedicated parking on site. There is a public lot not far away, but it seemed fairly full and had several restrictions so may not be hassle free.
