Top Amboise Hotel Reviews
Best Western Le Vinci Loire Valley
"Close of what we want to see in the area, what we didn't like it was the room! Small. with two bathrooms, one for shower and one for the necessities! But is Europe, not the USA!"
KYRIAD DIRECT Tours Sud - Chambray Lès Tours
"Small hotel but ideal for a stopover. Near variety of eateries. Free parking."
Château Belmont Tours by The Crest Collection
"I wish the staff would have told us about the tram the first day so that we could have used it earlier. As well, we did not love the food served at the hotel restaurant. It was expensive for the meal and not really many choices. Staff was amazing otherwise."
Le Manoir Saint Thomas
"We truly enjoyed our stay at this property in Amboise. From the moment we arrived, Bertrand was a wonderful asset to the hotel. He was excellent with communication and put such a positive, welcoming face on the property. It was obvious that he was listening carefully and responding thoughtfully to our needs. His presence there should be highly valued, in our opinion. The breakfast was excellent and was definitely a highlight of our stay. We also appreciated the overall experience and will be recommending this property to our American friends who visit the area. Our only constructive comment would be that the swimming pool could perhaps have been kept a little cleaner. There were leaves in the pool each day while we were swimming. It was a very minor issue and certainly did not detract from our overall enjoyment of the hotel. We had a very nice stay and would be happy to recommend this property to others visiting Amboise."
Logis Hôtel Chaptal Amboise
"Reception was very friendly and helpful re parking my car. Throughout my 2 day saty staff were very competent, efficient and helpful in ll situations. Breakfast was excellent with a wide range of food available. Bed very comfortable; bathroom excellent. The hotel is a bit "tired" in terms of decor, carpeting etc. - couls do with a facelift."
Hôtel Bellevue
"The view was amazing. The room was well decorated, very comfortable, and very convenient to the main tourist areas. I highly recommend doing dinner at Le Shaker right across the bridge from the hotel for a great view, amazing food and reasonable price. The only complaint is that the Air Conditioner had a pretty loud buzz every couple of minutes. I didn't mention it to the staff, but surely the maid heard it."
Le Clos d'Amboise
"Easy walk to restaurants etc. Charming hotel."
ibis budget Amboise
"Chambre propre mais il y avait des odeurs d’égouts"
Novotel Amboise
"Helpful staff clean fairly standard room. Unfortunately pool not open till 11am on day of departure so we couldn't use. 20 min walk to the town Square so perfectly possible. Great location overall."
