We went to see the cathedral in Chartres. The hotel was only 50 meters away from the cathedral and had the most beautiful view. The rooms were clean but sober. And that was exactly what we expected because what you see on the web is what you get. The ambiance was very special. The building is a sight itself. Breakfast... More

This charming hostellerie just behind the Chartres cathedral, an 11th century priory reconstructed in the 17th century, is an historical tourist destination in itself, quite apart from the cathedral and beautiful old town. The building is magnificent and beautifully placed, like the cathedral, overlooking the river Eure. The rooms in April were extremely inexpensive, simple and smallish but clean, no... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Hotellerie Saint Yves. We did have a little difficulty finding it, but once we did we felt comfortable. The rooms are spartan, to be sure. Our room had twin beds; I don't know if all rooms where equipped as such and the bathrooms are very small...but efficient. We really appreciated the location of the... More

The Hotellerie Saint Ives is indeed a former grand monastery that was attached to Chartres' magnificent Cathedral. The rooms and common areas still retain much of their monastic austerity but they are comfortable and clean with views to die for. The hotel is still used for seminars and conferences linked to the Cathedral. The setting is brilliant located within the... More

We stayed 2 nights at this small former monastery adjacent to the Cathedral of Chartes and we liked it. The rooms are very quite due to the thick stone walls. It is not a Hotel, neither a hostel, but a Hotellerie, or let's say an Auberge. The rooms offer views which is nice. All cozy and warm in the cold... More

Our previously booked accommodation cancelled due to illness, and recommended St Yves as another choice. We didn't realise it was in a monastery building so were quite surprised, but really enjoyed our stay there. It is very simple but adequate if you are just looking for somewhere clean and quiet. The views from the rooms are wonderful and the location... More

We stayed here on a road trip through France in May 2011.The location is excellent & our room had lovely views. It was extremely peaceful & quiet with no noise at night. The rooms are simple but comfortable although the shower is like being in a cruise liner cubicle. The breakfast was one of the most enjoyable we experienced in... More

The rooms are pretty basic but ours had a great view over the city. The hotel's location is great; right next to the cathedral and in the pedestrianised old town. We had dinner across from the cathedral at le serpent, a brasserie, which was much better than i expected it to be, good food and nice to sit outside and... More

St. Yves is a former monastery located behind the Chartres cathedral. It has recently been renovated and is a lovely place to stay. Room are spare but adequate. Bathrooms are like a cruise-ship bathroom....very efficient. Breakfast is a cold buffet but plentiful fruits and breads, yogurt, cheeses and meats. Great place for single rooms. Nothing fancy but service is very... More

More a hostel than a hotel, no bar..great breakfast. Perfect location for the cathedral. Rooms are basic...very basic...but clean and functional..ferry type bathroom, no tv or coffee/tea making facilities. Staff are excellent. Finding it was easy with satnav co-ordinates, nightmare without. The entrance is along a very narrow one way street, with a dogleg entrance that if in a car,... More
