Novotel Amboise

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!

No hot water, just tepid. Hair dryer also not working but another was provided. Room stuffy and air-conditioning off at this time of year. Why? Room was otherwise just OK. Hotel needs a bit of a spruce up overall. Location is on the edge of the town in the countryside, short drive but half hour walk.

If you say there you want to go back.

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.

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 was a great stay during our visit to the Loire valley. Very clean, the staff was super attentive and accommodating, the buffet breakfast was excellent, very satisfied!

Staff were amazing. Very helpful and accommodating.

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.
