Novotel Amboise

Hotel is out of town, up on a hill overlooking the town but you would need a car. Safe didn't work. Had to wait a long time for restaurant service and the meal was not the best. Breakfast served up rock hard potatoes left over from dinner and the rest was cold. Again service bad as was breakfast. Nice pool if you had time to use it.

Very nice hotel at the top of a rolling hill looking down onto the Amboise chateau, out of town a bit in the middle of a corn field. You would need vehicle. This was a very nice modern, roomy hotel with an elevator. We even got a welcome drink on arrival. Pool, playground and tennis courts. Beds were comfy and the breakfast very nice the next morning. Lovely place. Would recommend.

We stayed here while in Amboise, very nice hotel with a great pool. It's about a fifteen minute walk to town but it's uphill on the way back. Our room was good and the staff was friendly. We stayed by the pool with drinks one afternoon...very nice!

We were able to pay extra for a room that overlooked the town and it was lovely. Others in our group were relegated to the parking lot view rooms and they were unhappy. Dinner was included in our tour and the food was good and the atmosphere open and friendly. As we passed through the town on our second night getting to the hotel, several of us asked to get off the bus to explore the town and stay for dinner. Little did we know that there were no taxi's and we had no way to get back to the hotel without an hours trek uphill. Since there were six of us at the restaurant, the owner offered to drive us himself and he actually made two trips and would not accept any payment. We would stay again if we visited on our own and would plan to spend an entire afternoon in the delightful town. If you want to be independent here, you would need your own car.

This is a convenient location to stay while visiting the castles along the Loire river by car. We really liked the view from the bar/restaurant and our daughter enjoyed the the pool. Staff was friendly. We didn’t think the hotel was very clean (really don’t like carpet in the room and the staircase stinks). The worst for us was that they were not able to offer us any food. After a long road trip we were looking forward to a dinner in the hotel and a good rest. However, the restaurant appeared to be fully booked, and they didn’t offer any alternative, no little snack at the bar, no room service. We had to go on the road again to find something to eat. I really don’t understand this.
