Pros:

For the high price I expected more amenities. There wasn’t only a combined hair/body wash pot. There was some instant coffee but no milk provided. Our bathroom handle was broken and after reporting it, no one was sent to fix it. This was quite dangerous. We had a room for 4 but not enough towels for all of us. The property had not received our booking from Expedia apparently and check in took a long time. The staff were great and very friendly and the pool area is nice. I wouldn’t say it was worth the money.

Pros:

Das Hotel liegt perfekt im Herzen von Amboise. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig in wenigen Minuten zu erreichen. Es gibt einen kleinen Außenpool, ein Spa sowie alle Annehmlichkeiten, die man erwarten kann. Hervorragend ist das Personal, das höflich, aufmerksam und zuvorkommend ist. Sehr gute Restaurantsempfehlungen.

Maison Rabelais Amboise
Pros:

Mon retour d'expérience sur la Maison Rabelais aurait pu être difficile si la réception n'avait pas réagit. Place parking limité et logement lodge en dessous piscine ne bénéficie pas de refroidissement pas géothermie et exposé sud avec baies vitrées et température difficilement supportable.
Heureusement, j'ai pu bénéficier d'un chambre PMR dans le logement principale climatisé par géothermie.

Pros:

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.
