Amboise Hotels

The common sitting room and the breakfast one took in it were both lovely. The grounds are also very well kept up, and the pool looked inviting. The location is excellent, well within walking distance of everything. The hostess is charming. We actually stayed longer for breakfast than we intended on our final day before leaving for Paris since it was so comfortable there, and we were engaged in wonderful conversation with another couple from the us. There is also convenient parking on the premises.

This is a b&b with three apartments. The one we stayed in was really for one person: the double-bed, shower, toilet and sink were in one small room with a small frosted glass divider separating the bed from the toilet and sink. The shower was open to the room. It helps if you have to have lived together for 37 years, as we have, to agree to this set-up, and still give it the positive rating that I did. If you don't like showering or going to the toilet in front of someone don't stay in this room. We did see one of the other apartments and it was much larger and lovely. Our hostess did offer to let us look elsewhere in the city for another apartment when we arrived, but we were tired, it was late, and she was charming and the rest of the b&b was very comfortable, so we stayed.

Exquisite room in a private house, private gardens, owner extremely helpful, great breakfast

We enjoyed everything

Excellent service, beautiful building.

Friendly welcome, clean facilities, good service, proximity to points of interest; wifi connection that actually works, willingness to help with little problems

Could be a problem for older travellers carrying bags up and down stairs as there is no lift but I am sure that staff would provide assistance if required.

The location of value for money of this hotel are unbeatable.

The bathroom was a bit cold as there was no heater in the bathroom.

Room was very good. Location was perfect.

We found the dinner selection and price to not be up to our expectations. We ended up going into Amboise and finding very nice dinner places with friendlier staff and better value

It's a long way out of the town of Amboise, so you need a car which I didn't have.

Close to the station

Unkind staff

No facility for storing soap & shampoo in the shower. Toilet seat wrong size therefore constantly moved around.

The hotel is perfectly situated between the cathedral and the old town of Tours. It has recently be renovated and satisfies all the needs of a 3* hotel, it is really worthed more stars. The perfect place to stay and staff was very helpfull.

It was located within easy reach of the old city but close enough to the modern are that walking into each area was quick

Position in Tours excellent, Very helpful staff, Very clean and well presented throughout.

The location, comfort (clean and ventilated as we asked) and price.

Nothing.

The room was basic, but very clean, comfortable, and had a great balcony. It was also very quiet. It was in a good location, within walking distance of the train station and fun areas of the town.

We did not realize that it is actually closed from 12:30 pm-5:00 pm so there was no way to drop off our luggage.

Central location, on-site private garage parking, very helpful and friendly staff, modern and clean room.

Not much room in the bathroom.

Location.

They did not recognize the Do Not Disturb sign and knocked and came in anyway.

The breakfast was delicious with lots of options and friendly service.

Good hotel, very central. Comfortable beds and excellent breakfast, albeit rather pricey.

Bathroom has only hand held shower and very narrow tub. Parking extremely difficult.

Excellent location - close to the city center and the railway. Very comfortable room. Excellent value for money

Internet services way too expensive for nowadays (when such services should already be like TV or radio).

Location - more or less in City centre

nothing

Free upgrade to a superior room (very large and spacious!)! We assumed that since we booked through Booking.com that we would get one of the few rooms that have not been re-done - but when we checked in, the courteous staff informed us that we had been upgraded to a superior room - which turned out to be the largest room in the hotel - quite nice! For 77,20 euros, we stayed in an excellent room, with a booking that included the 12 euros per person breakfast - excellent!

Slight difficulty parking...the hotel is in the same square as the train station, and being a busy city, the parking for the station was full. We ended up parking in another structure about a 8 minute walk from the hotel - same price as advertised though (8 euros for 24 hours).

Had an excellent stay; friendly staff; excellent breakfast

No canal plus

Very pleasant and clean hotel. Reception staff offered without prompting to store our bikes in their garage.

The management was very helpful to us in finding fuel for our car during a time when there was a problem obtaining it.

We booked a room for three people even though there was on only two of us. It was just right.

New hotel well appointed with clean comfortable rooms, small bar open till late, staff spoke good English, well appointed breakfast room and facilities.

Car parking was charged.

convenient parking, quick and easy booking in, maps of Tours

noisy room (railway behind). Room needs updating. Can't have shower without soaking floor. room carpet dirty and stained - needs replacing. Smell of cigarette smoke in coridoor.WiFi didn't work. Personal message in envelope left on bed was stained.

Very friendly stuff. Close to the airport (15 min walking). Close to huge shopping centre. Buffalo Grill just few step from the hotel. Clean. Perfect price. Local bus stop is close to the hotel.

Hotel is far from the city center. Only can be used for airport over night stay or shopping in the huge shopping area arround. but, remember, on sundays any of shoppings in France is closed. So, this area arround of the hotel is scary empty on sundays - you'll need to go to the center of Tours to have any of activity (it's not so bad, because local buses do the right job)

There was nothing that overall impressed me I was not happy with my stay at all.

I was not happy with the staff and also the facilities. The room smelt and the hotel was very tacky. I also had to pay more than I was quoted online.

It was easy to find. We have only very basic french skills and it was good that the staff were able to speak basic english - and much appreciated.

I was surprised and disappointed to find no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. At this price in the UK this is standard. I also tried to access the wifi using the information provided by staff but could get no access at all. I didn't try to follow this up due to language.

I liked the confort, price, location, and off course - the great breakfast. It was what i expected.

The location from Garmin GPS was confusing. The number and the name aren`t easy to see from avenue refered.

A bit off center with a nice view of the Amboise castle. Very friendly and helpful staff. We spent one week there and enjoyed the region and hotel so much that we'll return next year.

The swimming pool should be heated up

The food and bar operations were poorly run with a very disappointing product

Close to the old town centre, good price vs quality

poor breakfast

Quiet hotelm conveniently loacatred

The restaurant has the same food day in day out and the breakfast buffet is very poor

The proprietress was very friendly, the room was clean and comfortable and the quality of service was excellent.

Location in centre of Tours near train and bus stations. Secure parking. Very comfortable accommodation with friendly helpful staff.

No

Our room was warm, quiet and comfortable. The hotel was in a side street very close to the station, but not affected by noise from it. Being on the fourth floor, there was a small balcony in the mansard; although the view was only of roof-tops, this might have been beneficial in warmer weather. Access to the lift was easy, and there was a spacious reception and breakfast area. There was a wide range of choices at the buffet.

The dark decor in the room would not be to everyone's taste. Be warned - we were unable to use the underground car-park because of the restricted headroom. On enquiring, we were told that it was 2m, but our vehicle at 1.97m certainly would not fit, and so we were obliged to feed a fairly greedy parking meter a short walk from the hotel.

The great location to the city centre and near Tours railway station. The staff was helpful and free use of the internet.

Hotel Bellevue was beautiful and in the perfect location! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean, modern, and had all the amenities needed. The hotel was beyond our expectations and we would highly recommend it.

Location is perfect.

Wifi didn't work in our room and was very unreliable in common areas. Room was small, we had no telephone or television. There is no closet or drawers. No eating or drinking anything in your room, management strictly abides by this rule.

The staff followed us to our room when we brought back some water and beers. Told us they saw us bring groceries in and are not permitted to eat or drink anything in our room. The only thing good about this hotel was the location. You can't beat it. So if you are fine with a bed and a bathroom and no other amenities then book here, if not keep looking.

the location and the views from our room

the restaurant was very expensive

location was good, the city and countryside great. the resturant was impressive--dinner was expensive but worth it and the service was very good. the breakfast was also very good.

our room was in the old part of the hotel and was just ok. it needs to be updated. the walls between rooms are not very insulated for noise and made for a long night.

Had good quality bikes for rent, staff was helpful and friendly, other than bar, public spaces very nice.

Just over 1 km walk into town from hotel. Expensive breakfast not included in room charge. Better rates, including breakfast, available for walk up customers.

Staff - very friendly and helpful

The location was just where we needed to be. The front desk was very professional and helpful.

The relation quality/price

nothing, I recomend

The hotel was basic and inexpensive. The staff was friendly and the room was acceptable. There was free parking on site.

It's far from the center of Tours, so if you don't have a car, I wouldn't recommend it. The room was a little cramped, but for the price, it wasn't a big deal.

This was the first time we had used Mercure and it was superb, we shall definitely use them again. We ate outdoors in the lovely outdoor space and the staff were so friendly. We had booked the wrong date, and yet they immediately found us a nice room and away from where we might have been disturbed by a wedding party.

Staff were really friendly even though we arrived really late. Good breakfast and great location for touring the Loire. Good range of information with in hotel about surrounding chateaux. Also useful map on ale from reception.
