Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were comfortable and the staff was friendly, I found the dining options to be lacking, especially compared to other hotels. The location felt isolated, with not many restaurants or bars nearby, but it was convenient for exploring the area with a short drive to local attractions. Overall, it was decent value for money but could use some improvements.
I had a decent stay at the hotel. The rooms were a bit too warm, even with the window open, and some noise from the entrance could be a concern for light sleepers. However, the location was quite convenient for our travels, and the service was outstanding, particularly how friendly they were towards my dog. There’s certainly room for improvement in the dining options, but overall, it provided good value for money.
The hotel is conveniently located right under Chateau Amboise and offers very spacious rooms, but the noise from outside can be a bit distracting for some. The staff was incredibly friendly and always made me feel well cared for. However, the dining selection didn't quite meet my expectations, and the location was somewhat limited in terms of nearby restaurants and bars.
The hotel had a great location right under Chateau Amboise and next to the Loire river, perfect for exploring the area. The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, which made my stay enjoyable. The dining options could use improvement; I found the breakfast lacking compared to other places.
Overall, my stay was quite pleasant. The hotel is cozy and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my visit. However, the location wasn't ideal as it was in a less populated area with not much to do nearby. The rooms are warm and comfortable, though they could use some air conditioning, and while the service was commendable, the noise from the entrance might bother some. Nevertheless, I found it to be a decent choice for the price.
