By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.

This hotel suits couples and families who want facilities to match a 5-star rating. The property lists a spa, a pool, a gym, a restaurant and family rooms, which few small-town hotels offer.
Skip it if guest score per euro is your main measure. Its 8.8 is solid but not the highest in our Amboise selection, and the price sits well above the local median. Travellers who only need a clean room for a night will find better value elsewhere.
Location and getting around
The address is 34 Quai Charles Guinot, in what the booking provider labels the top-rated area of Amboise. The location score from guests is 9.6, which is high.
Our data includes only one nearby sight with a distance: Valmer Castle, about 8.9 km away, close to 2 hours on foot. That is far, so plan on a car, public transport or a taxi for it. Walking times are straight-line estimates. Distances to other sights in town are not confirmed in our data, so check a map for the places you want to visit. Parking is not listed among the facilities, so ask the hotel if you arrive by car.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 187 reviews, joint third of 6 eligible properties in the provider sample. That is a smaller pool of reviews than at many city hotels, so a few stays can move the average.
Our data does not include a summary of what guests specifically like or dislike here. The 9.6 location score is the clearest signal. Read recent reviews on the booking page, looking especially at comments on rooms, noise and the spa, before you commit.
