Very nice hotel with excellent facilities, pool etc. Great breakfast and good dinner menu. Our experience spoilt at dinner when the " Canette" ie duckling" arrived overdone, dry, and inedible, instead of pink and moist. Returned the dish untouched. At check-out found that the untouched, returned dish was still charged for, but with a 30% reduction. Complained, but manager defended the dish ,aggressively, saying that was how they always served the dish---badly in my opinion. Conclusion--will not eat at this hotel chain in future.

Very nice property in the outskirts of Amboise. You´ll need a car or taxi to get to the center, but we had a car, so it was very convenient, just 10´ away from city center. Nice, clean, big rooms, nice reception staff ready to help.

Many good points but they were subsumed by my wife having the worst steak that she ever has had in her life.Virtually inedible and tough whereas my pork filet was really good.

Good stop along the way
We stayed one night as part of a longer road trip. It was quite convenient for our needs, and the staff was friendly. The room was comfortable and clean. The breakfast buffet was okay but a little picked over by the time we ate at 7:30 am as there was a tour group or two staying at the hotel as well.

Very disappointing stay
On arrival after 7 hours in the car, hugely disappointed to be told by reception (very cheerily) that the restaurant was fully booked and there was no room service. No food anywhere, even at the bar. Luckily I had a bag of crisps in the car which I managed to turn into dinner. Reception could have mentioned eg ubereats or some other options (and I should have asked). Staff at the bar were responsive despite being very overworked. Huge gash in the desk in the room, wasn’t expecting that! Room was ok although the a/c hardly functioned. They say they have a/c but I wouldn’t agree. Swimming pool nice but crowded and small. If I had realised how isolated this hotel is, I would have gone elsewhere.

Giving Novotels a Miss From Now On
For the last 2 nights I was at Novotel Amboise - and regretted choosing it. The restaurant was closed, my room faced directly onto the pool and the outdoor dining area, so no sleep before midnight. The bed was comfortable but that was about it. I had booked into the Orleans Novotel but they messaged me that they were under renovation - so the carpark, the bar, the swimming pool, the restaurant were all closed. Not sure what was left open, so moved to the other Novotel in Orleans South, miles from anywhere. A mistake - the rooms are small and dark, the place is full of noisy families - right now 4 children are using the corridor outside my room as a racetrack while the parents look on benignly and wont do anything about it. The restaurant was full of squalling children. I have cut my stay and am moving somewhere else. Avoid at all costs.

It’s an ok hotel. I’m sure there are better.
Nice hotel. Typical room lay out for Novotel. Restaurant was poor with a very limited menu that did not change daily. Tv should include international channels and the smart tv should connect really. Hotel is overpriced for what it is.

Great hotel with a lovely pool (which was why we chose this place due to the hot weather) and some basic facilities for the kids (crazy golf and a couple of run down tennis courts). Only drawback is we also chose this place as it has aircon but it didn’t really work. Rooms were still around 24 degrees with aircon on!

Very comfortable and clean compared to some of the places we stayed on our trip. Unlike the B&B's, everyone in our family got an actual bed instead of some pull out mattress pad and we were able to relax instead of trying to uphold some expectations of a host.
