Apart from the location which is reasonable, not much to say. The hotel is situated in an ancient building with windy stairs and no elevator. Think twice if you are coming with suitecases - it is a nightmare pulling them up. The promised wireless Internet in the room did not work. The family room we received was on the top... more

After reading all the positive reviews about Le Blason we made a reservation for a triple room with more than two months advanced notice for my wife and I and our daughter. We were also traveling with our dog and chose the hotel because they accept pets. However, when we arrived we discovered that instead of a triple room we... more

My first recommendation is to wait for a taxi when you get off the train in Amboise. My husband and I decided it must be a short distance and decided to walk, silly us. This was the moment in the trip that almost resulted in divorce. :) We bacame the "ugly americans" fighting in the street. The streets are cobbled,... more

We had booked a triple room with a/c and were given a room that had a double bed and two narrow trundle beds that could be slept on by holding tightly to the up hill edge! The bathroom was tiny as if made for a boat or travel trailer. The a/c wasn't working and the telephone was missing from the... more

The owners were cheerful and enthusiastic. Their building is ancient has loads of character. The common rooms and bedrooms are clean and comfortable. We felt very... more

My husband and I traveled for a month through France this past summer, and I have to say that Le Blason was one of our favorite places to stay. Le Blason is a charming little half-timbered building located in central Amboise (walking distance to everything you need to see in the town...including the market). The owners were very friendly and... more

Of all the places we stayed at in France, this little hotel was probably our favorite. From the moment we entered the door, we felt a welcoming environment, more like that of a B & B, with one of the owners, Agnes, checking us in at the desk and pointing out the computer that was available for guests to use... more

My husband and I wanted to see the Loire Valley and chose Amboise as a base... I looked online for hotels and discovered that this hotel had air-conditioned rooms on the second floor! The price was right too. The room was clean and the front desk staff was very polite and helpful. The only rip off was the breakfast in... more
