Plussat: Perfect place and all staff are very friendly.

Miinukset: Every things are outstanding

Plussat: Easy parking, comforting welcoming staff.

Miinukset: Lots of stairs.

Plussat: Loved the ambiance of the hotel. Rooms and bathrooms were very spacious.

Miinukset: No complaints

Plussat: Owner&staff all very nice & accommodating. Large bedroom & bathroom was terrific.

Miinukset: More hot choices for breakfast would have been perfect but adequate buffet.

Plussat: Although it was old, it was very cozy and well kept up. It has its own character and the staff was very friendly and helpful

Plussat: The property was stunning! Felt like you were truly back in the time period when royalty lived at Le Manoir Saint Thomas. Alain, the manager, was exceptional! The breakfasts were so delicious we chose to eat there each morning! Easy to find, parking was inside the property grounds, beds were comfortable, bathrooms modern. Overall, a wonderful experience. We would definitely go back!

Miinukset: Nothing, really.

Plussat: Maintenance was poor. Bad conditions of walls doors etc. Not like expected from a 4 star accommodation.

Miinukset: Location was excelent. Staf was kind and helpful.

Plussat: Wonderful welcome by the staff who came out with umbrellas to meet us as it was pouring rain ! They were charming , helpful and made us feel immediately at home. Comfortable room with good sized bathroom. Warm and comfortable.

Miinukset: Would have liked to be able to open our windows! Other than this it was a most pleasant stay.

Plussat: The pleasant nice upgrade to a larger room although we don’t need it.

Miinukset: It would have been better to tell us to park in the hotel in advance.

Plussat: Everything was great!

Plussat: This place is awesome. It's a historical building and decorated in old style. The room was very spacious with a couch, a big bed, and two desks. The front desk people spoke fluent English and helped us with luggage and cab services.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Very quite and nice ambience, clean. Pleasant traditional interior decorations. Very close to restaurants, shops and local attractions.

Miinukset: None.

Plussat: Location great on edge of old town. Boutique hotel absolutely met expectations with good staff, great location, good feel and ambiance. On that basis, would sty again and would recommend it

Miinukset: Two points, 1. I thought the conversion to put the bathroom and toilet in the original (old) room area was done poorly. The tile floors were elevated and not fitted, and the walls were thin and cheap plasterboard. So that felt cheap. 2. We looked out over a lovely lawn/courtyard, but the lights outside were all all night, and meant it was very difficult to sleep.

Plussat: Perfect location. Excellent for pets

Plussat: .The building. The room. The staff. Good for visiting Amboise.

Plussat: A divine property - just loved our Catherine de Medici suite - the room was huge and the bathroom spectacular! Great to have access to laundry facilities too and a lift for luggage

Miinukset: Nothing

Miinukset: Bad internet connection - very slow and not usable Breakfast for the room - Every morning we got one baguette for five people - each morning we asked for another baguette. On the last evening (October 14) a tree fell on the car and turned it off - we had to cancel the restaurant reservation and stay in the room until the morning when we brought a new car - feel free to check the weather on this date - the worst garden maintenance - we received no compensation and the ratio was appalling. More details in my email   ilana@iTest.co.il We do not recommend and very caution. Bad human relations.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel in a lovely setting. Is around 10 minutes from the main town centre and would be easy to get around if you have your own car. We didn't have a car but were still able to get around by using the taxi service. There is also a large supermarket within walking distance.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and welcoming! The grounds were beautiful

Plussat: Our host at the hotel, Antoinne, was extremely competent and personable- and he puts together a most fabulous breakfast!! We would definitely return!

Miinukset: Everything was Excellent!!!

Plussat: Hotellin yhteydessä loistava ravintola!

Plussat: This is a budget hotel with clean beds and a continental breakfast. The staff were pleasant .

Miinukset: The area of town seemed industrial and maybe a little seedy .

Plussat: Welcoming staff, quiet part of town, pleasant garden area. Great food in the restaurant and exceptionally helpful chef/owner to talk through the food and wine. Would return again to eat there it was really very good.!

Miinukset: Bedroom a bit small and would have been better suited to a single bed rather than a double. I'm sure there are bigger rooms and otherwise everything was fine.

Plussat: The restaurant was fabulous, and the staff were very helpful and friendly

Miinukset: Just that the staircase was very narrow

Plussat: A beautiful building furnished to a very high standard. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel is quiet and just a short walk from the town centre and the wonderful Clos de Luce

Miinukset: We felt the restaurant was quite expensive with a very limited choice of dishes.

Plussat: Excellent french restaurant (best we encountered during our 3 week French holiday), great breakfast. Free on site parking,

Miinukset: all good

Plussat: The room was large and well equipped and very comfortable. An excellent breakfast is available. Good secure, undercover bicycle storage is available.

Plussat: -

Miinukset: See below

Plussat: Easy access to the shopping and restaurant area of Amboise. Very friendly staff

Plussat: Lovely clean hotel with very informed and helpful staff. Great location.

Plussat: Quaint spot in a quiet location close to everything

Plussat: A lovely property that is very centrally located and you could walk to nearby attractions and restaurants

Miinukset: The room was very small and I thought having the mini bar in the bathroom next to the toilet very unhygenic

Plussat: Location and staff

Miinukset: 2 floor Stars

Plussat: I liked everything. The place was beautiful, the rooms excellent and the staff extremely accommodating. I especially liked the card placed on my pillow each night with the next day weather conditions. The location to the town and restaurants was in walking distance.

Miinukset: I can't think of any way they could have improved our stay. Everything was fantastic.

Plussat: Very helpful and pleasant staff.

Miinukset: The property was a little worn. They had stopping taking care of the landscaping. The coffee maker reservoir looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in ages.

Plussat: A very friendly hotel. Served an excellent breakfast. Excellent parking however you need the receptionist to show you how to enter it from the rear of the hotel. The beds were very comfortable. Would definitely stay here again. 5 minute walk from all the sites.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very well located spacious and clean. Lovely pool also. Thank you

Plussat: Lovely hotel, charming setting, the pool is welcome, rooms are very well equipped and quite stylishly done out. Clost to centre of Amboise, very helpful staff. Definitely recommend as a base in Amboise

Plussat: Wonderful dinner, Quiet location

Plussat: Nice 4 poster bed room, private door onto the garden, nicely appointed room. Comfy bed and all very clean.

Miinukset: Lounge area could be more comfy. Breakfast a bit costly for what it is.

Plussat: All the staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. Parts of the meal we had were very good however parts were rather ordinary and consequently overpriced see below

Miinukset: No one offered to take our luggage to our room. The meal on balance was very good however the main course for both of us was lacking in flavour and quantity certainly relative to cost . 1 meal was beef the other scallops . 3 or 4 pieces of beef with some rather tasteless vegetable ? wedged inbetween was just not satisfactory . The scallops were in one word , bland. The rest of the meal was very good including the salad that came with the beef.

Plussat: Good location but we were recommended to visit to enjoy the restaurant, which was excellent. Very welcoming staff, who couldn’t do enough for us.

Miinukset: Awkward to find. Verry small room

Plussat: Beautiful Château with loads of history but also very comfortable. Lovely gardens and heated pool. Restaurant fantastic fine dining.

Plussat: Stay in a chateau to visit the Loire valley chateaus! Gorgeous view of Loire river on one side, gardens on the other. Very friendly staff provided extension cord to cover needed electrical outlet. Great location for visiting Eastern Loire valley. Very close to da Vinci chateau and our favorite, Chateau Gaillard.

Miinukset: Lack of electrical outlets, expected in old chateau.

Plussat: Character of the hotel in this old castle.

Miinukset: Buffet breakfast a bit expensive for array of choices.

Plussat: The charming warmth & empathy of the staff. Felt like we’d died & gone to heaven. Especially after an arduous car journey & arrived well after dark. staff were there to greet us & arranged for an amazing ‘picnic’ to be sent to our room as we were so tied & hadn’t eaten. Made us feel so welcome. Very special.

Miinukset: No hairdryer in room & towels could have been a bit bigger.

Plussat: Pluses: The owner/manager (Olivier) is dedicated to his guests comfort and overall experience in the Loire Valley. The property is truly unique, a chateau built into a cliff, with lovely lawn and pool. Staff is very friendly. Location is a quick drive from Amboise. Olivier's restaurant recommendations were spot on.

Miinukset: Wi-Fi service quality is an area for improvement.

Plussat: Well appointed room with a beautiful understated decor and food and service to match. Extensive grounds just made for leisurely rambling and exploring or canoeing. Good quiet location just outside of Amboise.

Plussat: Lots of charm and history, fascinating grounds and close to town.

Miinukset: Rooms were large, a small refrigerator would have been made our stay more comfortable. Access to food aside from breakfast not without a reservation for dinner.

Plussat: Host and owner, Olivier, was very friendly amazingly helpful. Lots of advice on what to see during our travels in France. Staff could not have been more attentive.

Plussat: The property owner was so helpful! He secured us a dinner reservation at a fantastic local, where the food was amazing. The room was nice. Beds were VERY comfortable. We were allowed to explore the entire property with the added benefit of touring the limestone quarry/caves and historic windmill.

Miinukset: We had no issues; it was simply perfect for what we needed.

Plussat: Room was spacious and some of the staff were very pleasant. Property has a very interesting history.

Miinukset: Location was far from town and required expensive taxis which were not readily available. There were no staff on the premises between 8pm and 8am. Breakfast was very expensive.

Plussat: Chateau has great potential but just misses the mark on several fronts. Interesting to walk around and lovely grounds for walk/jog around and pool to chill by. Quiet and nice if you want to get away from it all.

Miinukset: Someway out of Amboise with no easy taxi service means you’re a bit stuck in the evening if you want to go out for dinner. Dinner at Chateau is set menu, no choice. Didn’t like Having to plug kettle in on floor by entrance door as sockets not in convenient places. New bathroom but skirting has been missed from painting and looks dirty. If no residents are eating seems guests have to fend for themselves, unable to get a drink with no staff around and place in semi darkness shut up for the night. Took over an hour to check out as did not seem to know how computer worked which caused confusion and bad feeling and 2 days later still no invoice has been able to be sent.

Plussat: Everything! The view, the property!! The trails. The trees and the birds. The breakfast was amazing!! Best croissant I've tasted in France! Outstanding coffee and local cheeses.

Plussat: the location was quiet surrounded by fields with a superb heated pool use of bicycles restaurant serving great food.the staff were friendly and welcoming. we have been staying there for a number of years they are consistently good at looking after their clients.

Miinukset: paying extra for cooked breakfast on top of 15 euros was a little underwhelming, however that's the only moan.

Plussat: The hotel was in a beautiful location, very peaceful. Reception were very helpful when we had a problem with our bedroom heating and we were quickly given an alternative. The restaurant was excellent for evening dinner and the breakfast offered a good variety. We would like to return when we could enjoy the amazing facilities.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Such a comfortable Chateaux in the Chateaux region. Gourmet cuisine was stupendous. Spacious and comfortable rooms. Highly recommend.

Plussat: This is the third time we have stayed here and would always return, the restaurant and food are excellent, the staff very friendly and caring.

Plussat: We were delighted to be offered a free upgrade to a garden room. We have stayed before and looked forward to our mevening meal. We were certainly not disappointed... it was beautifully cooked and presented and served outside on the terrace on a lovely evening. Hot air balloons in the distance added to the ambience! The breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: We were delighted with our visit.

Plussat: Lovely atmosphere. Great pool. Comfortable room and quiet, pretty surroundings.

Miinukset: Would have like a fridge and a safe in the room and would prefer a walk-in shower rather than having to climb in over the bath.

Plussat: Excellent staff, really helpful. Would happily go again.

Plussat: The setting and grounds were lovely. Very peaceful. Perfect for visiting the chateau Amboise. The staff were very helpful and made recommendations which made our stay all the better.

Miinukset: Sloping ceilings in the attic room would not suit a tall person.

Plussat: Luxurious bedding, fabulous rain shower, beautiful grounds, thoughtful staff! And they have the most amazing coffee machine that grinds the beans exactly for your selection and then brews it to perfection! Lovely for a stay in the center of the Loire castle country.

Plussat: The ease of the location as we were stopping over for the evening on our way down to the south of France.

Miinukset: Really hot room

Plussat: they should provide Kettle and cup in the room.

Plussat: The nature that surround the place is beautiful!!! The staff is very attentive.

Miinukset: The pool was not heated. Difficulties opening the room door. Old towels.

Plussat: Lovely location, friendly staff and attracive bedroom.

Miinukset: We arrived at 7.00pm after a long journey, was disappointed not to have access to a hot/cold drink on the premises. Otherwise, a lovely hotel!

Plussat: We really loved this hotel, built around old farm buildings in a 20 acre estate. We booked for two nights, and chose it especially for the swimming pool, the rural location, and the proximity to several Chateaux and vineyards. The room was very comfortable and with a bigger bed than other places we had stayed in. French door led to our own private patio. A really lovely place to take a break in between hectic visits to Chateaux - although the pool was a little chilly in September. My husband really enjoyed having all the space to go for a jog, and the fact that it was once a golf course. A good safe place to park our classic cars as well. We felt that it would be a really nice place for a family as well. Breakfast was extra, and very good. The owners advised us to try the One Michelin Star Lion d'Or restaurant in Amboise and the food was excellent, and not too expensive either. Lots of other interesting places to eat in Amboise, including a place that had its own beer brewery called Art is an Ale.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Excellent restaurant and nice rooms

Miinukset: Checkin not till 6pm. We were unaware of this and arrived at 4pm after a long and tiring motorbike ride. The hotel was locked and dark. We managed to attract the attention of a waiter in the restaurant who was very unhelpful. Wouldn’t even allow us to leave our bags so we could go for a walk. We checked later and saw that this was on the booking confirmation, but this should be made clear on the hotel description.

Plussat: Room very clean and bed was comfortable - central to most chateaux in amboise

Plussat: Modern and very clean. Better than most 3* hotels. Restaurant is excellent and fairly priced. Secure bike storage.

Miinukset: Road noise with open windows but air conditioning allows them to be closed.

Plussat: Breakfast was very good and evening meal in the restaurant. Ample parking and a good location. Room was well equipped and comfortable.

Miinukset: The only negative was the shower over the bath as it was impossible to stand under it due to the sloping ceiling!

Plussat: The evening menu is superb - a great gastronomic surprise! Know you are really authentic French but an English version of the menu would be a help!

Plussat: The food in the restaurant was delicious

Plussat: It was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, it was most conveniently situated adjacent to the Amboise ring road, but was quiet and overlooking the river. Good parking. Easy too to get into town. We were only sorry that, because it was a Sunday evening the kitchen was closed.

Plussat: Clean room, there is a kettle in the room for making coffee!

Miinukset: Staff doesn't speak English. Difficult to understand anything .

Plussat: Lovely looking hotel and an easy walk into the stunning Amboise. Breakfast was ample and beautifully presented, cant fault it

Plussat: Very friendly staff. Room was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and excellent value.

Plussat: we received a warm welcome at the Hotel Staff were courteous and efficient. Breakfast was delicious with a good choice of items. The hotel building is very attractive both at the front and the rear - lots of red geraniums making a lovely show. Our room was very comfortable and quiet.

Plussat: The location of the hotel is so good. I don't think I have ever stayed anywhere where when you open the windows, there is a wonderful peacefulness. I slept like a log.

Miinukset: No food other than breakfast at the weekend

Plussat: Very pleasing stopover. The evening meal cooked just for us was very good. We skipped breakfast as we were still full from the night before and it was expensive. Excellent staff.

Miinukset: Slightly too far out if town

Plussat: It was out of town and quiet, staff all lovely. Breakfast very good Overpriced for standard of hotel

Miinukset: Very dated, looks as if they have spent some money updating the outside and parking area. Rooms need to up be brought up to date now tho

Plussat: The front desk staff were excellent and spoke good English. The breakfast was basic but still very enjoyable.

Miinukset: The lift felt a bit ropey, it was not smooth.
