For the price (although lobby smelled of smoke) this was a great place to stay. A lovely walk to the town of Amboise with lots of sights and restaurants to enjoy.

Booked through Expedia and paid upfront, showed receipt on arrival but staff insisted that we needed to put a credit card on file and they would ‘hold’ the full amount again, which we did. A few days later the full payment came out of the credit card again, spoke to Expedia who said they couldn’t understand the people on reception but would try to look into it - even after sending both sets of receipts. Still haven’t got a refund for the overpayment and not sure I will. As a side note, I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again anyway. We’ve stayed at plenty of Ibis, this is without a doubt the worst. Shower directly in the room with a half glass door separating it from the bedroom, awful damp smell… on the plus side the surrounding area is lovely.

good location n price

Room was comfy enough to sleep overnight to get ready for next day. Has everything you need and hot shower was working well with good water pressure. The toilet feels like the one you use in airplane. Otherwise good location and free parking was great :)

A bit out the way, which was not a problem for us. No shops or restaurants nearby, or even close. No access to the microwave in the lobby, it was off limits. Like all Ibis budget rooms, space is very limited. There are a few hooks on the wall and no space to open a case, without putting it on the bed. It was very quiet. Our room had a good view over the town and the Amboise Royale Chateau.

Right next door to Novatel which has a nice view for wine and a bike shed.

Quiet out of the way location, but easy drive into the centre. You definitely need a car here, but it's secure and quiet. It's nothing fancy, but a good clean, comfortable budget choice.
