The staff were amazing. A special shout out to Louise at the front desk who went well above and beyond her duties to help us. The hotel was clean and comfortable. They assisted us in getting taxis to town, which are sometimes hard to come by. Overall an excellent stay and I highly recommend them.

Excellent stay. The hotel was beautiful and very well located. Excellent leisure area, especially the pool. Excellent restaurant, with reasonable prices. The only thing that could have been a way to dry swimwear was a way to dry it, otherwise it was great.

Very nice property in the outskirts of Amboise. You´ll need a car or taxi to get to the center, but we had a car, so it was very convenient, just 10´ away from city center. Nice, clean, big rooms, nice reception staff ready to help.

Good stop along the way

We stayed one night as part of a longer road trip. It was quite convenient for our needs, and the staff was friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet was okay but a little picked over by the time we ate at 7:30 am as there was a tour group or two staying at the hotel as well.

Horrible stay!! Room didnt have a working A/c we had to change room in middle of the night but had the same issue there aswell. House keeping staff taking things from your room and when asked if they found or have something they said nothing we have in possession. This kind of behavior and service is not acceptable.

Very nice hotel with excellent facilities, pool etc. Great breakfast and good dinner menu. Our experience spoilt at dinner when the " Canette" ie duckling" arrived overdone, dry, and inedible, instead of pink and moist. Returned the dish untouched. At check-out found that the untouched, returned dish was still charged for, but with a 30% reduction. Complained, but manager defended the dish ,aggressively, saying that was how they always served the dish---badly in my opinion. Conclusion--will not eat at this hotel chain in future.

Very disappointing stay

On arrival after 7 hours in the car, hugely disappointed to be told by reception (very cheerily) that the restaurant was fully booked and there was no room service. No food anywhere, even at the bar. Luckily I had a bag of crisps in the car which I managed to turn into dinner. Reception could have mentioned eg ubereats or some other options (and I should have asked). Staff at the bar were responsive despite being very overworked. Huge gash in the desk in the room, wasn’t expecting that! Room was ok although the a/c hardly functioned. They say they have a/c but I wouldn’t agree. Swimming pool nice but crowded and small. If I had realised how isolated this hotel is, I would have gone elsewhere.

Un bel hôtel, au calme avec une très belle vue sur le château et à 15min du centre. Mais quel dommage de mettre tant en valeur cette si belle piscine à debordement pour ne pouvoir y mettre un pied vu la température. Un simple rideau ou bâche à bulle permettrait de gagner ces précieux sans augmenter votre facture d’électricité. Dommage
