The Novotel Amboise is a comfortable mid-scale four-star hotel with swimming pool and rooms sleeping up to four.
The Novotel Amboise is a modern hotel in the southern residential suburbs of Amboise with beautiful views of the chateau. The comfortable bedrooms with air-conditioning can sleep families of up to four. The hotel has a pool, mini golf, tennis courts, and table tennis in its huge garden. Free parking and a quiet location near main roads make the Novotel Amboise ideal for exploring chateaux in the Loire and Cher valleys.
The Novotel Amboise is a four-star hotel with full hotel services including a restaurant and bars. The hotel is thoroughly modern and furnished in the current Novotel style. It may be short on character but not on modern comforts including free wifi.
As in most Novotel hotels, bedrooms have the bathroom (often with separate walk-in shower) separate from the toilet (unfortunately without an own washing basin). Sufficient toiletries and towels are provided for four.
Windows can open fully and many bedrooms offer fine views of Chateau d’Amboise. Free wifi is available throughout the hotel but often faster in the lobby area than in bedrooms.
The breakfast buffet is well stocked and better than average for a French hotel but less complete than would be expected in for example the UK or US. Breakfast is fair value at €14 for big eaters and a bargain when traveling with children under 16 who eat breakfast for free with parents.
The hotel is ideally located for drivers with ample free parking. From the hotel, it is easy to get to many other sights in the region without having to travel through the old town area of Amboise, including Loire chateaux such as Chenonceau (15 minutes), Villandry (40 minutes) and less than an hour to Chambord or Valency.
The room rate at the Novotel Amboise is around €100 to €130 per double room. Much better deals, and free breakfast packages, are often available for advance reservations.
