The hotel looks brand new, is really well kept, well clean and the service and the staff are very professional and friendly. The location of the hotel is great, right in the center of Amboise, and the parking is very convenient. Also the breakfast is great. The room was really good, great large comfortable bed. The only odd thing was that the hotel blocked 200 euros as a deposit in my credit card, as if I was renting a car, never saw this before in my multiple years of travelling.

Excellent hotel: brand new establishment, perfect location, on-site parking (paid), excellent welcome, and the entire team's kindness. Very spacious and comfortable room, quality bedding, and very clean. Located in the heart of Amboise, a 5-minute walk from the royal castle, the historic center, and the Loire River, and 15 minutes from Clos Lucé. Highly recommended ;-)

地理位置很好,能步行到兩座城堡,另外,配有停車場,方便停車,附近也有很多餐飲選擇,但是好吃的中餐是沒有的了。房間很大,這在歐洲酒店來説還挺難得的。

A brand new hotel. Sadly it has opened way too early. Building site. Exposed wires, bare earth, air conditioning not working, blocked drains, unmanned reception, horrific smell, wet and dusty floors and no mention of this on booking. Waited to check in as no one could be found. Lobby floors and corridors were wet and sticky. Our room floor was wet and sticky and bathroom floor did not dry during our entire stay. Rooms were tiny and very sparsely appointed. We were charged an additional €15 to park so beware. Given the state of the place it would have been a kind gesture to allow us to park without charge in the empty car park. I brought my concerns to the lady on reception and she said she would pass on my details and to expect a reply the next day - nothing! I subsequently emailed directly and received an unapologetic reply saying I should have mentioned my concerns during my stay, which I did. With this attitude I cannot recommend this hotel and even when works are complete it is still going to be a basic and soulless offering.

Very warm welcome. Superb location, too bad the weather didn't allow us to try the pool! As mentioned below, parking is €15. But when you see the cost of parking in the city, it's really affordable! We had a family room, spacious, beautiful and clean. Substantial breakfast but cold scrambled eggs! Well-located hotel with a view of the castle, which we recommend.

The hotel is superb. The renovation of the place is incredible. The location in the city center, while being quiet, is perfect. The staff is extremely friendly and kind. The possibility of parking in the private lot is very appreciable.

I don't understand how this hotel is a 4-star...the decor and quality of the furniture are worthy of a motel chain - the doors look prefabricated, as do the stairs, whose joints are visible. There is indeed a spa (well, a sauna), but...it costs 30 euros per hour. Nothing is luxurious here. Don't trust the photos...

Just after saying good afternoon, they told me that I had to pay 200€ as a “deposit”. The receptionist told me that it would be returned when I left. When I tried to get her to explain the reason for a deposit, and asked her to please speak more slowly as my agility in understanding French was not very good, she answered me in English. I asked her to please speak to me in French more slowly and her reaction was to speed up her way of speaking. VERY RUDE The next day when we checked out, we demanded the 200€ and they told us that it would be paid to us throughout the day. We were not paid and the next day we explained this experience to the owner of the hotel Le Haut des Lys in Villandry and he very kindly contacted Manson Rabelais, and thanks to him they returned our deposit. In short, uneducated staff and personally I am left wondering if they wanted to charge me 200€ too much. As for the hotel, the quality-price ratio is very bad, in every sense. There is a lot to choose from in Amboise, and I chose badly, I was wrong. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT

We had a very warm welcome! But when we got to the room, what a disappointment! It was very hot, 26 degrees, and we didn't have air conditioning or a fan!! And not even a small bottle of water... that doesn't correspond to a 4-star hotel. The room is very simple and small... Let's not even talk about breakfast... very disappointing, as well as the staff who barely said hello to us!! And there were very few sun loungers at the pool.
