Tried to charge a much higher price for bottles of wine we bought in their shop when taken to their restaurant! We asked before we took the wine in if it was ok and permitted!

No one we know will EVER stay there nor eat at their restaurant!!! Our travel agent set us a beautiful bouquet for our anniversary that was delivered to our room by the local florist.

The restaurant is really nice, reservations would be a good idea as it was pretty full. Our choices were all excellent, the ravioli of langonistas was over the top delicious, my husband really liked his duck, my rack of lamb was ok, not much meat, but was good. The deserts were excellent, loved my souflee with grand mariner sauce. I would highly recommend this cute hotel, and awesome restaurant. Very friendly service, great menu, wines, gardens etc..

You'll never mistake the guest rooms for a "boring" chain hotel. I was especially pleased that the staff prepared a quick breakfast for us. The night before we were to depart, I asked them if someone would be at the front desk when we checked out at 0400 and they said "of course" and asked if we would want coffee at that time. Little did I know, they would prepare a light breakfast for us as well. It was a great finale to our time in Amboise.

We enjoyed the pool every day as it was quite warm this summer and it's really beautiful with a big lawn around it.

It is on the river and just a short walk to all of the restaurants and the château itself. Highly recommended!

The hotel itself is everything you want a French boutique hotel to be: quaint, cozy, charming, but the rooms are surprisingly large, especially after the rather cramped hotel rooms of Paris! Our room felt surprisingly spacious. A small detail that was a big plus for me was the towel warmer in the bathroom. I wanted to do a little laundry midway through our trip, and it came in very handy. Breakfast was excellent and managed to please both my French husband and me, the American, which I think is quite an accomplishment! And a special mention has to go to Olivier at the front desk, who is quite simply the sweetest, nicest, friendliest, and overall bestest! He made an already lovely stay even more enjoyable. My only regret is that we didn't plan to stay longer. I would happily come back!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It's a small and charming hotel in the heart of Amboise. We…read morestayed on the top floor of the main building and had a wonderful view from our bathroom! Each morning we watched hot air balloons go by :) The room was very comfortable, the staff were kind and helpful, and the location was fantastic. Keep in mind that it's a small building and there is no elevator. A few notes that may be helpful to others: 1) The parking area is through a gravel area. If you have luggage on wheels, I highly recommend you stop near the front door and unload your luggage before parking your car because it's impossible to really drag luggage on wheels through the gravel (you'd need to carry them). 2) Rent a small car! The entrance/exit is on the corner of two one-way streets and is quite narrow to enter and exit through and also to make a sharp turn in either direction when exiting. Having a smaller car will be easier to navigate. 3) They lock the main gate at night for security and there is a small door you can exit and enter through by foot but we couldn't figure out how to exit through there (we had the code to enter from the outside but couldn't figure out how to open it from the inside to leave). They ended up opening the main gate for the cars and we walked through that in the early morning but if you need to leave very early (for example for a hot air balloon tour) before the main gate is typically unlocked you'd need to check with the staff to make sure you're able to exit early enough with your vehicle.

The site is advertised as having air conditioning and a Michelin two star restaurant. Still today their web site claims both. One area on your R&C site does say one star. We booked 5 nights in a suite, about 800€ a night. We get there and, as I have asthma, I need an air conditioner. We could not get it to work. We went to the lobby and were informed that air conditioning is not needed or available and is turned off. Turned off and unavailable, yes, not needed, no. It makes no sense. It costs nothing to leave it available; if no one needs it, they won't turn it on. But if it is needed, it is not available. But it was advertised as available. We were met with a shrug. Obviously it was a cost saving move. Not available--it won't be used. Room value to me was less than half of what was charged. Ridiculous price. And false advertising. I later expressed my concern to Eric, the manager, who stopped by our table and asked how our stay was. Another shrug. It's not available. A heel turn and he was gone. The room air was stifling and there was no air exchange. Windows had no screens against insects and were not opened. We sweated all night. Each night. Management did not care, did not sympathize, did not resolve the issue, and did not compensate or even acknowledge it to be an issue. As for the room, furniture is dated, blue rug throughout tacky. It was not up to R&C standards. As for the two star Michelin restaurant, it's been downgraded to one star and the website stills advertises two. Appointments are incredibly dated. Affinage on the cheese cart was not great, served a couple not yet ripe fromages. Continuing, the wine list shames Michelin. The first three wines I ordered were "out of stock." Two days later, they were still listed as available, yet still out of stock. In an era of computers and photocopiers, it is completely inexcusable that a wine list is not maintained accurately, especially when such a list is a draw to a restaurant. It's a fake wine list. Michelin should check the cellar, not trust the restaurant. The "wide selection of [actually available] excellent wines" is shameful for a Michelin restaurant. My opinion, after eating at multiple two and three star restaurants in just the past two weeks, is that this Les Hauts de Loire restaurant deserves none. The one bright spot of our stay was the bistro. Service was warm and gracious, food good quality. We really enjoyed the cuisine and the staff, felt like family, incredibly gracious. We did not receive any hotel request for a rating, and I'm not surprised. Other R&C hotels often ask after departure for a rating. This one does not. No surprise there. Why ask for a beating?
