Great location, staff is amazing, brand new, very clean and best breakfast food in our trip. Definitely recommend the hotel.

Our visit here was excellent. The property seems extraordinarily new or recently refurbished. The room was quite large given its close proximity to the downtown streets of Amboise. The staff were extremely pleasant and you could tell they are well trained/coached on ensuring positive guest experience. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Quiet hotel with an excellent staff. We used La Maison Rabelais as our base of operations as we discovered the Loire Valley region. One of the things was that it was just five minutes from a river trail where I could do my morning workout.

Beautifully restored hotel but was very sterile maybe because it was newly opened. The halls echoed with concrete but nicely painted. Our room was on the 1st floor over the entrance which was noisy with people returning at night or children playing out front. The last day the hostess warmed when engaged. Has great potential!! Staff at desk very helpful😀

Hôtel is in a great location for exploring Ambroise. Staff very obliging and rooms brand new, clean and comfortable. However as there was no air conditioning every room had their windows wide open day and night. Outside almost finished so still a few building noises and garden improvements to be made and for this reason we didn’t use the small swimming pool available.

This is a brand new hotel; yes some areas are being worked on as previous reviews advise. However, we stayed for 4 days mid August and further works I suspect had been completed. We found the hotel to be lovely. The staff were great and very helpful with things like advising on restaurants and booking cabs etc. The outdoor pool area is great, gated for safety and with the added benefit of a lift up to it. I think this is superb for those with limited mobility. The rooms are compact but well thought out and nicely decorated. It’s a 5 minute walk into the main area of Amboise. You can reach everywhere on foot. We liked it so much, we stayed another 4 days. A nice place to relax.

Cet hôtel a ouvert cette année (Avril 2024) et c'est une petite pépite ! C'est un vieux bâtiment (un ancien pensionnat) qui a été rénové et transformé en hôtel. Situé dans le centre d'Amboise, à quelques minutes à pied du centre-ville. Il est pourvu d'un parking (et de bornes de recharge). Meublé et décoré avec goût et sobriété. Le personnel est très aimable et aux petits-soins ! Très bon petit-déjeuner ! La Maison Rabelais dispose d'une piscine et des lodges sont en construction. C'est un établissement que j'ai déjà recommandé autour de moi et j'espère y revenir bientôt.

Muy agradables las habitaciones, limpias, camas cómodas, silencioso, con una pequeña cocineta con lo básico, amplio estacionamiento, aunque afuera hay lugar para dejar el auto y es seguro, no cuenta con elevador, el personal muy atento.

Nuovo hotel, scelto per proposta interessante e curiosità. Discreta colazione e piscina esterna utile. Staff cordiale ma impossibilitato a risolvere tante piccole e grandi esigenze che si possono avere in hotel. Hanno dovuto aprire prima che la struttura fosse completata. La hall è carina e le camere sarebbero belle se fossero più complete. Mancano armadi o modi di appoggiare o conservare gli abiti per esempio. Mancano prese corrente vicino ai divano letto. Manca areazione in bagno e l'umidità è restata sempre presente con il pavimento perennemente bagnato. I lavori in corso non permettono la pulizia duratura di alcun ambiente. Se avete bambini teneteli sott'occhio perché al momento ci sono zone non completate o fossi che rendono l'area esterna non sicura. C'è tantissima potenzialità e la cornice della città di Amboise è meravigliosa, quindi buona fortuna per il futuro.

Hôtel très bien situé, chambre élégante et impeccable. J'ai pu profité des installations bien-être durant mon étape professionnelle (sauna et séance massage) et j'en ai été ravie, merci.

Super adresse pour un cycliste comme moi : à deux pas de la Loire à vélo, garage à vélo sur place, proposition de pique-nique, conseils précieux de locaux pour explorer les alentours. En bref une expérience inoubliable !

Services proposés (piscine, cuisine...) et recommandations touristiques au top, personnel très accueillant et petit déjeuner délicieux. Idéal pour des vacances en famille réussies au milieu des châteaux de la Loire !
