Everything was top notch; and Angel was amazing to deal with. They offered an excellent breakfast; and were top notch in accommodating and attending to all our needs. The rooms were delightful; and the stay was awesome! Would love to stay again next time. Plenty of restaurants and shopping near by. Fantastic!

We LOVED this boutique hotel! I wish we had more time to spend there and would definitely come back in a heartbeat. The staff was welcoming, fun, kind and spoke great English. We had one of the guest rooms in the rear of the property by the pool and loved the little patio and view. This is great for couples and even families. It’s a small property but the best experience. They also have parking in the back that you can access after checking in. We had a full sized car and it fits but is tight like all parking in France. Zero complaints and we highly recommend this hotel.

We loved our stay at Hôtel Au Charme Rabelaisien in Amboise. Jaques was so accommodating, he helped coordinate the pick up of our rental car, with dinner suggestions and reservations. The hotel is so central. Amboise is a charming town to walk and explore. Be sure to include their breakfast. It is fabulous and a great way to start each day!

The hotel was conveniently located to downtown shopping and dining, easy walk from the train station. The staff was incredibly welcoming, kept our luggage while we toured the area before check-in, and served a nice breakfast. Our room was at the top of the hotel, very nice size, perfectly equipped, and comfortable bed. It had a great view of the chateau! Highly recommend!

Hotel Au Charm Rabelaisein is a lovely boutique hotel centrally located in Amboise. We were able to walk everywhere. The room was spacious and comfortable with a view of the Amboise Castle from our window. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet each day. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The town of Amboise is special and our accommodation here made us feel right at home. We would definitely recommend this as a top place to stay in the Loire Valley.

This hotel was beautiful! Eclectic and beautifully decorated, with a comforable bed and amazing shower in our room. We loved the breakfast buffet and wonderfully kind staff. Walkable to everything in town, but far enough out to be quiet. Would definitely stay here again!

Staff was friendly helpful and courteous for the most part. The room was nice. Well decorated but it would have been helpful to have a dresser in there, and enough chairs for the number of people occupying the room. The AC was weak. The sofa in there looked quite dated and was not useful where it was placed. Curious about what the other rooms are like. We would definitely return to this property. Thank you Angel and staff!

This is a super charming small hotel (10 rooms) in a quiet area of Amboise yet still just a few blocks from the Palace and other great sites. The staff is OUTSTANDING. Jean Jacques the owner greeted us at check in with an employee named Angel. He recently purchased the hotel and Angel joined his team this week. He obviously cares deeply about the place and makes sure you have everything you need. When he is not there Angel was terrific. She also cared about everything that happens at the hotel. I would give this place the highest rating on any scale. The only place to stay in Amboise.

Lovely

The hotel is lovely and the staff superb! It is eclectically decorated - tres Francais! Breakfast was wonderful as well - fresh and delivered to our room by request every day. My only critique is that the front room on the first floor facing the street can get noisy. So either close your window or ask for a garden room.
