    10MelissaPosted on: 9-24-2025

    The hotel was spotless, creatively decorated, and very comfortable. Breakfast was fresh, abundant, and delicious. The kind staff cheerfully and thoughtfully attended to our every need—including dinner reservations and arranging transportation. It truly felt as if we were staying with old friends. We were sorry to leave and would happily return.

    Nothing—everything exceeded expectations.

    10KathiePosted on: 9-14-2025

    We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel-Spa - Au Charme Rabelaisien and Richard, his wife and Cristof were fantastic hosts, extremely friendly and so accommodating. There were 6 of us (3 couples) and they went out of their way to make sure we had all we needed and did anything to make us happy! We loved their breakfast and would highly recommend a stay here.

    Nothing!

    Very quiet and spacious room overlooking garden with view of the castle. Excellent bathroom with bath and separate shower.

    10AndrewPosted on: 8-23-2025

    Very welcoming and friendly. Great location, walking to everything in 5 - 10 mins. Easy parking area, lovely grounds & pool, a great place to stay.

    8EwaldPosted on: 8-1-2025

    Very attentive, friendly staff (also owner present and doing some work in the garden)Very quite garden area (we had a garden room)Comfortable bedsWhile the building and furniture are a bit dated it is all very well maintained and clean thus not a problem at all

    8MelaniePosted on: 7-30-2025

    Excellent location, beautiful, easy to get everywhere, but super quiet.

    I had thought the price included breakfast, and the breakfast that could be purchased was super expensive.

    10CatherinePosted on: 7-27-2025

    This is a fantastic hotel. Perfectly located in the centre of Amboise but with the sweetest garden to sit in and a small swimming pool. The staff we very helpful and lovely. Room was very well appointed and breakfast was perfect. The staff helped us find a great restaurant. A gem.

    10SuzannePosted on: 7-23-2025

    This is a charming and very well run hotel. Amboise is a great town for access to Loire Valley sites. Aurelia and Richard were very personable and helpful. Aurelia gave great recommendations for dining too. The room was comfortable and beautifully appointed. We loved our stay here.

    We liked everything. I wish we had time to use the pool.

    10TerrellPosted on: 7-20-2025

    We were greeted every morning with the happiest "Good Morning! How was your sleep? Where would you like to sit in the garden for breakfast?" We enjoyed glorious sleep, delicious breakfasts with excellent service and were able to walk or cycle to all locations in and around Amboise. The staff was particularly accommodating when we arrived quite early before check in and made it possible for us to get to our bike rental and tour the chateaux on schedule.

    There was very little to not like. We became used to a less powerful fan and air conditioning but it was still quite satisfactory.

    10KarenPosted on: 7-10-2025

    This pretty and peaceful property is nicely tucked away in town just a few minutes walk from the Chateau and town's main restaurant area. Our room was spacious and well equipped with a large comfortable bed and good sized en-suite. We also had a beautiful view of the Chateau from our window. The staff were all wonderful - very helpful and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. We just wish we could have stayed longer!

    Nothing. All good!

    10AriadnePosted on: 7-6-2025

    Nice room and bathroom, outdoor swimming pool

    4CynthiaPosted on: 6-26-2025

    Room was spacious. Needs updating. Chipped paint,, Given the cost of the room and the four star rating, I expected a much nicer property and a better experience.

    Garage parking was a challenge and area needed cleaning.

    8LizPosted on: 6-11-2025

    So close to town. Very comfortable room overlooking the garden. Plenty of space . Nice garden & pool to relax in after full day. Easy parking.

    Pool was too cold to swim in.

    10JuliePosted on: 5-18-2025

    This is a lovely hotel right in the middle of town, making daily strolls and access to food and shopping very easy. The staff is super helpful. I loved our room on the top floor with a view of Chateau Amboise! The large bathroom and huge tub was an added bonus after a long day of walking. We enjoyed the local brewery, Les Arpents for an outstanding meal, but our favorite part was simply walking around the town and returning to our comfortable, cozy room.

    Nothing!

    4SabrinaPosted on: 4-23-2025

    Not much. Need an upgrade as its look old and not well maintained. Staff were nice but not good location , parking difficult access. I didn’t like it.

    10BrianPosted on: 4-2-2025

    We had a wonderful stay during our visit. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance to the town center. The facilities were great including the comfort of the room, bed and bathroom and it’s extremely quiet. Warm towels, coffee in the room, tub and shower, great bed and linens. The grounds are lovely, with lots of room to sit and relax, including the pool! The couple that owns and runs the hotel along with staff were helpful, engaging and just lovely. If I ever have the opportunity to return to the region, this will always be my hotel of choice.

    10RonaldPosted on: 10-24-2024

    I enjoyed an ample breakfast. We had a room facing the street and we did not notice the street activity. There were several excellent restaurants within a short walking distance. We were there for three nights and once we parked the car, we did not use it until we left Amboise. Everything in town is in easy walking distance--even for us older folks. The elevator was appreciated.

    I would have like a more firm mattress.
