Hotels near Fontaine Max Ernst, Amboise

Lovely Boutique Hotel-about 10 rooms -in Amboise in the Loire Velley A perfect home base from which to tour the valley. Great location-3 blocks to the center of town. Rooms are decent size, King bed with desk and a very nice sitting area. Nice mixture of antique furnishings with modern. Bathrooms are new and also nicely sized with large shower and a tub. We had a room on the third floor in the back of the hotel overlooking the garden and pool with views of the Chateau Royal Amboise. Excellent maid service in the morning. A wonderful buffet breakfast is served at 17.50 Eu per person, but you can easily walk into town and eat at one of the wonderful cafes which typically open around 9:00. Sylvie, the manager was wonderful and attended to all our needs. if yuou come in your own car, parking is a little tricky. There are public lots and spaces all over town but you have to find a spot by yourself. There is no real off street parking for the hotel itself. We stayed for five days and would stay again. Some of the rooms are a little smaller. When you book be sure to ask the size of the room. They are prices naccordingly.

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.

Le meilleur Ibis Budget de France ! Et j’en ai testé un certain nombre ! Lits très confortables, hygiène impeccable , climatisation Emplacement idéal surplombant la ville d’Amboise, au calme au milieu des vignes … et non dans une zone commerciale ou industrielle comme le sont souvent ce type d’hôtel. Pour un séjour en solo c’est l’idéal.

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.

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.

I lived in a 48-hour trip to the Loire River, a noble royal castle in 1313. The previous owners include the duke, the relatives of the king, the relatives of the queen, and so on. Suzanne, the last owner, was not the royal family. It can be seen that the owner of the castle is a multi-family male who loves hunting, and various animal specimens are distributed in every corner. The entire castle is completely protected and tidy. Walking in every corner has the feeling of exploring the secrets. The climate is similar to that of northern China. The first light rain in a few days is a bit reluctant to leave. 🌧️ The breakfast is simple, but we all like it. The private castle has a small number of service staff, which is normal, but it is warm and polite, and will clean up the room every day. Super experience

The accommodation is located in a quiet manor with its own vegetable shed and a swimming pool. It is very pleasant to walk in the manor. Like the photo, the hotel is a castle with a sense of age. The common living room and dining room are decorated in European retro style, as if back to that era. Compared with the room facilities, the room is more general. First of all, there is no air conditioning in the room. There is an electric fan. The high temperature warning in France was very hot in those days. Secondly, there is no trash can in the room, and there is a small toilet. No paper is provided. The shower can be sprayed with a top spray, and the hand shower cannot be fixed.

We stayed at this hotel over new years eve. Since the hotel is pretty far away we wanted to join the dinner. Nevertheless, the hotel restaurant was full with external visitors and there was no space left for us. Also, we were early in the hotel and checkin was at 16. There was no option to go to the sauna before checkin and staff was pretty rude when we arrived. The swimmingpool (which is promptly shown on the pictures) was closed 5 months of the year, which was another disappointment. The rooms were clean and spacious which was good. Also the cleaning staff was very friendly and helpful. Think we were unlucky with the time of year. Not the best experience.
