Traditional French cuisine with a modern touch. Very cosy place. Great choice on the menu, very reasonably priced. Very friendly and kind welcome. There was a misunderstanding with our booking. Instead of sending us away they , since the restaurant was fully booked, they offered us aperitif while waiting for the first table to be available. And it was worth waiting! Delicious food , great local wine. Thanks to Chef and all his staff.

It's a terrific little boutique hotel/restaurant run by a nice husband-and-wife team. The entry thru the restaurant room was a bit confusing as we tried to find a separate entrance to the hotel in vain. But that's it. You have to inquire a waiter who would take you to the reception desk then. We have arrived at lunch time so they served us lunch first which we liked so much that we opted for breakfast next morning. And it was a fabulous breakfast with a great choice of cold cuts, pates, breads, fruits, and fresh pastry all home made as the owner is also a chef. The room was rather small but cute and cozy and quiet. There's no elevator though. Ample parking. It's located some 3 miles away from the town center. Perfect if you ravel by car.

A charming couple in charge, very clean confortable room with places to put down your bags and toilet bags which seem to be disapearing rapidly in standardised rooms. On top of that a very good dinner, all reasonably priced. A good stop on the Loire chateaux circuit.

Easy to find. Clean and comfortable. Enthusiastic receptionist who was very helpful. The rooms at the front share a terrace, and there is screening so that each room has its own private part of the terrace. The terrace overlooks a road and as there is no air conditioning, and it can be noisy when the windows are open. The food is very good, with an excellent choice, either a la carte or a choice of several menus.

We visited when cycling on the Loire a velo. We hadn’t realised that on Mondays the restaurant was closed but the hostess helped us find a restaurant in Amboise and made sure we got there too. Really nice and way beyond what she needed to do to help. Really nice.

The location is just done the street from downtown Amboise, the Chateau and very quiet, even though it's on the main road. Slept very well with the windows open, beds were comfortable. Room size was standard French size room, but this one had a balcony to go out onto, so it was like an extension of the room. Bathroom, as well as the bedroom, was very clean. Shower could be a bit of a challenge for tall people. The shower ceiling is sloped due to the pitch of the roof. For smaller people like myself and my father, 5' 5" it wasn't a major problem. Breakfast was a big spread and was your standard buffet with breads, fruit, cheese, meats, coffee, juices, etc. Property is unique and with a little landscaping could be incredible. Felt we got a good value and would stay here again.

My friends and I had booked rooms in advance -- but when we arrived, we walked up the flight of stairs from the parking lot to the building, and had to knock on the door for some time before anyone came to the door. We found out that the restaurant was closed for 4 days that weekend (not sure if the owners were away) and it seemed that only a skeleton staff was on site. One of them did help us with the bags from the reception area up the next flight of stairs to the rooms, which were fairly basic but comfortable. The young man at the reception counter was very helpful in recommending a place for dinner -- which turned out to be excellent. But when we drove back to the hotel after dinner there were no lights in the parking lot or on the building, so we had to use the lights from our cellphones to navigate the stairs up to the building, through the small lobby, and up the stairs to the rooms. There was no staff anywhere to be seen. Very disconcerting. Breakfast the next morning was lavish -- we were the only people in the room, but apparently there had been a few more guests who left before we came down. The young man suggested we bring the car up to the front of the hotel at the road, and helped us with our bags.

Two nights here, 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts. Delightful service, good food. Room appropriate size for France. No a/c but a fan was provided. Madame was very helpful and her children were polite and smiled and spoke. Server Sam is excellent. He helped me with luggage as there are steps involved.

Only 4 stars as the hotel has no elevator and 1+ flight of stairs to get to the room. However, the owners/ managers were very helpful with the luggages. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable with everything needed for travelers comfort. The on site restaurant was great with an excellent service and offered diners and breakfasts of superior quality. To be recommended

Outside of Amboise a little, but plenty of parking and a very comfortable room with a terrace. Breakfast was well worth the 12 euro, a full buffet with anything you could want. Staff was friendly and tried very hard to help us and understand our English. Hotel has a restaurant attached which seemed very busy and although we did not eat luch or dinner there it appeared very popular. Well lit so it was easy to find when we returned at night from sightseeing.
