Was expecting nicer for the price, but it was ok. The mini golf and tennis courts are average. The pool looked nice, but was weather was far too cold to use it. The rooms were smaller than it looked on the website. You need a car, as it is not near the centre of Amboise, but it has a big... more

We chose this hotel because we booked late and all the chateau hotels were booked. The hotel is very clean, modern and not a bad size room by European standards. And with the pool, tennis courts, put-put, garden to play in, etc. it's great for families with children. There is even a pool table and video game in the lobby.... more

Just got back with my family from France. We stayed 2 nights and the hotel was new, clean and comfortable. After staying in a charming hotel in Paris this was a nice change. We were very comfortable with 2 adults and 2 kids in the same non-smoking room and paid 70 euros a night. The Pool looked beautiful but it... more

We couldn't find a hotel with availability to suit us in Tours, so we decided to book this hotel. It was well worth the detour to Amboise. We also thought it was worth paying for a Superior room. It had a beautiful view down the valley and over a castle in the distance. It was also exceptionally peaceful - we... more

Great hotel for families, kids under 15 stay free, very nice outdoor pool, mini golf, nice restaurant, nice view, clean rooms, quiet. Amboise is a nice picturesque town to visit with wine caves, castles, nice shops and many restaurants. I booked directly on the Novotel site. Pretty good value for a family of 4 at 90 euro not including breakfast.... more

I wouldn't disagree with any of the previous reviews - the hotel is modern, well appointed, just outside of town, handy to the highway, etc. But as a modern hotel, it has little of the charm or character that I would normally look for in a French hotel but is more of the "modern, clean and efficient" variety - OK... more

Just come back from Long weekend in Amboise. Got some cheap flights with Ryanair to Tours (about 20 minute drive from Amboise - Tours). So wanted a reasonably priced hotel that offered good location to be able to venture into town but modern and comfortable. That is exactly what this Novotel is... Very tidy & well layed out rooms. 20minute... more

This is a tremendous hotel in a fabulous setting and my family regard it as a must-stay halfway stop on our way from London down to the Dordogne. The restaurant is set in what appears to be a huge glass conservatory overlooking the pool, green fields and the castle and town of Amboise in the distance. The food is first... more

We stayed at this modern refurbished hotel three nights last June during our trip to Loire Valley with my family. The Hotel is quite distance from the centre of the City of Amboise but if you have a car the location is excellent. The rooms were clean and comfortable facing the chateau of Amboise. The breakfast was good as well... more
