Hotel 3-star in Bourges

Presentation

Anaïs Hôtel Bourges Nord Saint-Doulchard is first and foremost an address: 60 rue de Malitorne, on the northern edge of Bourges, where the city gradually blends into Saint-Doulchard, its detached homes, and its commercial area. Thirty rooms, three stars, and a building taken over by a new owner who renovated it from top to bottom in 2024. You can tell as soon as you enter the lobby.

You can park without looking for a spot, right out front, and for free. A charging station has appeared in the parking lot, a detail that matters when you are crossing the Berry region in an electric car. At reception, the welcome is warm, and the owner is never far away, moving between the desk and the breakfast room.

The front desk keeps the hours of a small property: from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., then from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. If the road or train delays you, an automated kiosk gives you your key card upon arrival, without rushing anyone.

As you head up to the rooms, the contactless card is all you need, and your phone can even unlock the door. In the double rooms, everything revolves around the bed: a king-size bed with a mattress topper, the kind of bedding that makes you forget the previous day’s drive. The décor remains simple and bright. Opposite the bed is a large-screen TV. The heating and air conditioning can be adjusted room by room, which means you do not have to negotiate with the radiator in the middle of winter. The shower is spacious.

For those traveling as a group of three, five rooms combine a king-size bed and a single bed, and the team can provide a crib upon request. Some rooms have been adapted for guests with reduced mobility.

From the morning onward, the room smells of fresh bread. The 12-euro buffet includes both sweet and savory options, with a few homemade cakes nestled among the pastries. It is served from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on weekdays, with an extra half hour to sleep in on weekends. In good weather, the garden lets you finish your coffee outside.

As for the location, Saint-Étienne Cathedral and the Jacques-Cœur Palace are about 3 kilometers away. You will not walk down to downtown, but the car gets you there in less than ten minutes, and the free bus makes the trip without the hassle of parking. The hotel does not have a restaurant: in the evening, you can choose between the restaurants in the old town and the chains in the neighboring commercial area, some of which are about a ten-minute walk away. At night, the neighborhood remains quiet.

On summer evenings, leave your car in the parking lot after dinner and take the bus to the Nuits Lumière; the illuminated route through the old town begins at dusk. Just remember to check the time of the last return bus before you leave.
