Hotel has a great location close to restaurants, shops the Loire River, Chateau Royale d'Amboise and Chateau du Clos Luce. On-site parking was convenient. Our room was exceptionally clean and well appointed. Staff was friendly and efficient and most helpful with restaurant recommendations and reservations. I highly recommend La Maison Rabelais.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Room was large and very pleasant. Staff was superbly helpful. Overall an enjoyable stay. In town so easy walk to anywhere. Room does not have any control over heating, and it was very cold. So they had to bring in a portable heater. Shower fluctuates from extremely hot to pure cold for no reason. No extra towels. Parking is extremely tight and hard to negotiate. Can only leave one side of the car accessible.
