Estadia maravilhosa, funcionarios atenciosos
Pros:

O quarto era muito limpo, banheiro ótimo. Tudo recém reformado. A localização do hotel é perfeita. O Igor que nos recebeu, fez com que nos sentíssemos em casa, pois ja morou no Brasil e fala português perfeito. A gentileza de uma equipe faz toda a diferença!!

Cons:

Poderia ter frigobar no quarto.

Pros:

Hotel zrobił na nas świetne wrażenie, byliśmy tam w czwórkę z dwójką dzieci dwie noce i mieliśmy bardzo przestronny pokój dwupoziomowy. Pokój bardzo ładnie urządzony, czysty z widokiem na kameralny basen umiejscowiony centralnie na terenie. Hotel mimo że oddalony jest o jedynie 100/200m od restauracji i całego turystycznego zgiełku to jest w nim spokój i cisza. Śniadanie smaczne, obsługa miła. Miejsce zdecydowanie warte polecenia!

Cons:

Brak

Pleasant, quiet, comfortable stay!
Pros:

We stayed at La Maison Rabelais for four nights and had a very comfortable stay. The location is excellent — right in central Amboise, within easy walking distance of restaurants, the Royal Château, Clos Lucé, and the Loire.

A big plus for us was the secure bike garage. We rented bikes for multiple days and could safely leave them there overnight, and the hotel even has a bike pump. There are also a few on-site parking spaces, and Rue Rabelais makes getting in and out by car relatively easy compared with some of the narrower streets in central Amboise.

Our room was recently renovated, modern, clean, and comfortably spacious. There’s no A/C, but the room stayed surprisingly cool. I also appreciated the hotel’s thoughtful approach to sustainability: less commonly needed amenities are available from reception rather than unnecessarily stocked in every room, and each floor has convenient, well-maintained recycling and trash bins.

The staff were consistently friendly and helpful, and the pool and garden behind reception are beautiful. We’d happily stay here again, especially for another cycling trip in the Loire Valley.

Cons:

My only nitpick is the shower design. The bathroom itself is spacious and the water pressure is great, but water easily splashes outside the shower and leaves the bath mat wet for a long time. Better drainage around the shower area would make a big difference.

SOGGIORNO PIACEVOLE, IDEALE PER BREVE PERIODO
Pros:

Personale gentile e disponibile, camera ampia e dotata di spazio esterno e Jacuzzi.
Disponibile piccola cucinetta completa di attrezzatura.

Cons:

La colazione era accettabile. In ogni caso abbiamo preferito rivolgerci a pasticcerie esterne con una spesa ridotta. Altrettanto discutibile la scelta di dover chiedere alla reception i prodotti di cortesia del bagno, è imbarazzante. Così come discutibile è la richiesta espressa della pulizia della camera ogni giorno. Ci siamo dimenticati di apporre il cartello e la camera non è stata fatta.

Fijn verblijf gehad. Wel erg aan de prijs.
Pros:

De locatie was prima, net als de hotelkamer en zwembad

Cons:

Ik hem ruim 120 kilo en dan is de douche voor mij niet te gebruiken. De deur blokkeert op mijn buik.

Ook het opladen van de elektrische auto was erg moeilijk. Ik rij al ruim 3 jaar full electric, maar dit was de ingewikkeldste. Koste meer dan een uur om het laden te beginnen.

Bon hôtel d'étape
Pros:

Emplacement en centre-ville, au calme, chambre agréable

Cons:

La gestion des bornes de recharge pour véhicules électriques semblait un peu improvisée... et la réceptionniste n'avait pas l'air d'être bien au courant (sic).
