Hotels near Domaine de la Gabilliere, Amboise

Wow. Excellent hotel. Les chambres sont belles, lits confortables. Certaines chambres ont un bain, et elles sont munies d'un coffret de sureté. Il est très bien situé à quelques minutes en voiture du centre d'Amboise. Le personnel est toujours prêt à vous aider. Le buffet est varié et très bon. Le stationnement est grand et a beaucoup de place et l'entrée est fermé par un grillage la nuit.

Hotel was selected by Trafalgar as part of a northern France tour. Room satisfactory and was able to sleep well. There is not enough lifts so had to go down with stairs or wait a while but used lift to go up. Water is provided in the corridors where you can fill up your water bottle from the dispenser at the end of the corridor. Breakfast which is a buffet was satisfactory. Hotel is somewhat distant from the nearest convenience store or bar. There is a pool at the hotel which appeared popular given the warm days experienced. Staff were polite and courteous.

Stayed for three nights and was very satisfied. The location is good, quiet, within walking distance of the town center and the castle. The room is very comfortable. The parking lot was in the yard. I couldn't get in. The staff came out to help when they saw it. The breakfast is not very rich, but all the food is of high quality. It is recommended to order a dinner there. It is delicious and the service is excellent. The selected family room has a sofa bed that can be opened to sleep, which is very spacious

This hotel has a friendly helpful staff. If you have read the reviews, you know there is a restaurant on premise. The breakfast menu there is great (on par with most other Ibis and Mercure properties we have stayed at in France. The dinner menu is primarily Italian with one or two French offerings. Unlike some reviews I read, the Pizza is very good (like in Italy good). Here are some things you should know about this hotel. It is about 2.5 miles from Amboise in the middle of an industrial park! The hotel restaurant is your only option unless you walk 1.2 miles to McDonald’s or take a taxi into town (17 Euros one way) or ride the local bus route (.70 Euro one way). We found the local bus to be a viable option - ask at the front desk for the schedule. This hotel is pretty old compared to most Ibis hotels and was remodeled several years ago. The rooms are very small (per European standard) and are clean. The air conditioning does not work well. We were in two different rooms and with the air on lowest setting neither room would cool below 29 Centigrade. The outside temp while we were there was 19!!! We complained so they moved us to the second room with still no air conditioning. The front desk looked upset and suggested we turn off the air and open the window! This hotel and most other Ibis properties do not have window screens (invented in the 19th century to stop insect borne diseases). By morning, my wife and I were both covered with mosquito bites. You should also know that it is the policy of Ibis hotels in France to switch their systems from cooling to heating - no exceptions for guest comfort. We have been staying in Ibis and Mercure properties all over France so we know them well. We next went to a Mercure hotel in Saumur and it was lovely! The air worked well there.

Very good castle hotel, very comfortable from the castle to the garden. The hotel’s restaurant is a Michelin-starred restaurant, which can be booked the day we go, and it’s a great dinner. The facilities in the hotel are also very simple, which is a good place to enjoy. There are not many parking spaces inside, but there should be spare. If you are full, you should park outside the hotel. There is no elevator, so it is recommended that if the check-in time is relatively short, you can consider putting the box in the car and only take the necessary items into the hotel. Nothing else, it is really a great hotel. The garden has a secret forest path, which is very beautiful.

As an American who was travelling to France for the first time, i was amazed at the beauty of this place and the nearby town of Amboise. The chatteau is like no place i have ever stayed before! I think the chatteau only has maybe 15 rooms or so, which allowed for quality customer service and a quiet environment. We rented a car, which i think was necessary to see the area. But for the one day we did not have a rental, the owner made arrangements for our transportation back to the chatteau. You cant find that type of customer service at a big hotel chain.
