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.

Quiet hotel with an excellent staff. We used La Maison Rabelais as our base of operations as we discovered the Loire Valley region. One of the things was that it was just five minutes from a river trail where I could do my morning workout.

Beautifully restored hotel but was very sterile maybe because it was newly opened. The halls echoed with concrete but nicely painted. Our room was on the 1st floor over the entrance which was noisy with people returning at night or children playing out front. The last day the hostess warmed when engaged. Has great potential!! Staff at desk very helpful😀

Hîtel is in a great location for exploring Ambroise. Staff very obliging and rooms brand new, clean and comfortable. However as there was no air conditioning every room had their windows wide open day and night. Outside almost finished so still a few building noises and garden improvements to be made and for this reason we didn’t use the small swimming pool available.

This is a brand new hotel; yes some areas are being worked on as previous reviews advise. However, we stayed for 4 days mid August and further works I suspect had been completed. We found the hotel to be lovely. The staff were great and very helpful with things like advising on restaurants and booking cabs etc. The outdoor pool area is great, gated for safety and with the added benefit of a lift up to it. I think this is superb for those with limited mobility. The rooms are compact but well thought out and nicely decorated. It’s a 5 minute walk into the main area of Amboise. You can reach everywhere on foot. We liked it so much, we stayed another 4 days. A nice place to relax.

La nouvelle pépite d'Amboise

Cet hÎtel a ouvert cette année (Avril 2024) et c'est une petite pépite ! C'est un vieux bùtiment (un ancien pensionnat) qui a été rénové et transformé en hÎtel. Situé dans le centre d'Amboise, à quelques minutes à pied du centre-ville. Il est pourvu d'un parking (et de bornes de recharge). Meublé et décoré avec goût et sobriété. Le personnel est trÚs aimable et aux petits-soins ! TrÚs bon petit-déjeuner ! La Maison Rabelais dispose d'une piscine et des lodges sont en construction. C'est un établissement que j'ai déjà recommandé autour de moi et j'espÚre y revenir bientÎt.
