The staff were amazing. A special shout out to Louise at the front desk who went well above and beyond her duties to help us. The hotel was clean and comfortable. They assisted us in getting taxis to town, which are sometimes hard to come by. Overall an excellent stay and I highly recommend them.

Excellent stay. The hotel was beautiful and very well located. Excellent leisure area, especially the pool. Excellent restaurant, with reasonable prices. The only thing that could have been a way to dry swimwear was a way to dry it, otherwise it was great.

The staff were really welcoming, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The service we received at the bar in the evening and at breakfast was great. We didn't get to use the pool but it looked great. Will definitely stay again when next passing by.

8/10 Very good

Very nice hotel with excellent facilities, pool etc. Great breakfast and good dinner menu. Our experience spoilt at dinner when the " Canette" ie duckling" arrived overdone, dry, and inedible, instead of pink and moist. Returned the dish untouched. At check-out found that the untouched, returned dish was still charged for, but with a 30% reduction. Complained, but manager defended the dish ,aggressively, saying that was how they always served the dish---badly in my opinion. Conclusion--will not eat at this hotel chain in future.

8/10 Very good

The staff is nice. The room is nice but no coffee machine in room or bath robes. They had coffee in the main area for tours and told us we could not have any. The restaurant was nice and staff was attentive. We didn't get breakfast too expensive. The hotel should have a shuttle to town it's too far you need a car. This hotel if they don't provide a coffee machine in the rooms they should offer it in the main area.

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.

Good stop along the way

We stayed one night as part of a longer road trip. It was quite convenient for our needs, and the staff was friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet was okay but a little picked over by the time we ate at 7:30 am as there was a tour group or two staying at the hotel as well.

Many good points but they were subsumed by my wife having the worst steak that she ever has had in her life.Virtually inedible and tough whereas my pork filet was really good.

2/10 Poor

Horrible stay!! Room didnt have a working A/c we had to change room in middle of the night but had the same issue there aswell. House keeping staff taking things from your room and when asked if they found or have something they said nothing we have in possession. This kind of behavior and service is not acceptable.

4/10 Fair

Very disappointing stay

On arrival after 7 hours in the car, hugely disappointed to be told by reception (very cheerily) that the restaurant was fully booked and there was no room service. No food anywhere, even at the bar. Luckily I had a bag of crisps in the car which I managed to turn into dinner. Reception could have mentioned eg ubereats or some other options (and I should have asked). Staff at the bar were responsive despite being very overworked. Huge gash in the desk in the room, wasn’t expecting that! Room was ok although the a/c hardly functioned. They say they have a/c but I wouldn’t agree. Swimming pool nice but crowded and small. If I had realised how isolated this hotel is, I would have gone elsewhere.
Stephanie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Overall great experience but the fact that the AC is locked and very weak, our room was at 28c / 82f all night isn't acceptable for a 4 star hotel. The staff couldn't do anything because they use a centralized system and the remotes really only control on/off. The AC register was blowing at 24c / 75f with barely any pressure. If we had not come during the summer, I would have left a 5 star review.
