Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous faire part de votre expérience avec autant de précision et de bienveillance. Nous sommes sincèrement ravis que vous ayez apprécié la sympathie de notre équipe et que, malgré cet incident, le reste de votre séjour vous ait donné satisfaction. Vos compliments à l’égard de nos collaborateurs nous touchent particulièrement. En revanche, nous sommes profondément désolés pour la présence de cafards dans votre chambre et surtout pour le sentiment que votre signalement n’a pas été suffisamment pris en charge. Même si vous ne souhaitiez ni changement de chambre ni compensation, ce type de situation doit impérativement faire l’objet d’une intervention immédiate et d’un suivi rigoureux de notre part. Nous comprenons parfaitement que cet incident ait fortement influencé votre note. Votre remarque a été transmise aux équipes concernées afin que les vérifications et actions nécessaires soient réalisées. Nous prenons également en compte votre commentaire sur le vieillissement de certaines chambres ; comme évoqué précédemment, un programme de rénovation est prévu afin de moderniser progressivement notre établissement. Nous espérons sincèrement avoir l’occasion de vous accueillir à nouveau et de vous démontrer que votre confiance est importante pour nous. Bien cordialement, William Poma Directeur – Novotel Amboise

Jerome J. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

Room for improvement. I’m an Accor Platinum level member; this was a disappointing experience. We booked two rooms for six nights months in advance and asked to be adjacent (this was confirmed); we ended up a few doors down which is irritating. The team ended up offering adjacent rooms the next day, but at that point we had unpacked. What you can do to improve: 1) lyophilised coffee in rooms is a joke for a 4 star hotel, 2) if you can’t accommodate a guests request, offer something to make them feel valued (breakfast one morning), 3) bathrooms are in need of a refresh, black stains between the tiles, 4) almost all accor hotels I’ve stayed at usually had a welcome note which is a nice touch, this didn’t happen until the second day.

We were only disappointed to have stayed one night. It would have been nice to enjoy the family facilities much more. The room was comfortable, the staff was extremely helpful and friendly, the range of family games and activities was diverse and the views of the Chateau in the evening were inspiring.

Very friendly team and staff - rooms are getting a bit outdated but I'm sure you'll tackle that one day. We would absolutely score a 9 for all of the above but to get the right attention we scored a 4/10. We had cockrouches in our room on multiple days - they where the smaller kind but still this felt unpleasant. We mentioned it to staff (but only to inform - we enjoyed the rest of our stay so did not need any compensation/room change that would add extra stress to the team). We hope you can resolve this issue for the other guests. Kindest regards Gijs

Disappointed with cocktail type (Kirs) alcoholic drinks which I thought were made from low quality ingredients Zdrspite the price.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the Kir cocktails you ordered did not meet your expectations, particularly in terms of the quality you perceived in relation to their price. We understand that the quality of our drinks should be consistent with the standards our guests expect from a Novotel. Your comment has been shared with our restaurant team so that we can review both the products used and the preparation of these cocktails. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a more satisfying experience. Kind regards, William Poma Director – Novotel Amboise

The exterior of the building was looking rundown and required painting. The room interior was old, dated and smelled unclean and stale. The bathroom tub was very old, very high to step into and out of and slippery. Not safe for seniors. Upon checking in the staff member asked if we wanted breakfast. I specifically asked her if it was included because of the way she asked. She definitively answered ‘yes it’s included’. My husband was there and heard exactly the same response. Therefore, based on this information we had breakfast at the buffet every morning. We would not have done so if we had to pay because I am a small eater - cereal only. On checking out after 3 days we were charged for the breakfasts. When I complained (same staff member) she called the manager over. The manager said that the staff member hadn’t said it was included. Maybe this was a language issue because we don’t speak French and she didn’t understand? In the end we weren’t charged for my breakfast but were charged my husbands.

Well-located hotel in Amboise with a beautiful view of the region and the castle. The room we were assigned was supposed to have a pool view, but the view was obstructed, which made it very dark. There was no fridge in the room. It is a pity because the hotel has everything it needs to be great

Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié notre situation ainsi que la magnifique vue sur Amboise et son château, qui font partie des atouts majeurs de notre établissement. Nous regrettons toutefois que la chambre qui vous a été attribuée n’ait pas répondu à vos attentes, notamment concernant la vue et la luminosité. Nous comprenons votre déception, surtout lorsque celle-ci était annoncée avec une vue sur la piscine. Nous prenons également note de votre remarque concernant l’absence de réfrigérateur en chambre. Votre commentaire est précieux et nous permet d’identifier les points à améliorer. Un programme de rénovation est prévu l’hiver prochain afin de moderniser nos espaces et d’améliorer encore le confort de nos chambres. Nous espérons avoir l’opportunité de vous accueillir à nouveau au Novotel Amboise et de vous offrir une expérience à la hauteur du potentiel de notre établissement.

Bonjour, Merci d’avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience en détail. Nous sommes sincèrement désolés de lire les nombreuses difficultés rencontrées lors de votre séjour. Les problèmes de confort liés à la climatisation en période de très forte chaleur, l’état ressenti de la première chambre, ainsi que la situation concernant l’ouverture de la fenêtre et les conditions retrouvées à votre retour ne correspondent pas au niveau de qualité et d’attention que nous souhaitons offrir à nos clients. Nous regrettons également les désagréments liés au passage du service d’étage et à la situation observée dans la chambre voisine. La discrétion, le respect des espaces privés et le professionnalisme de nos équipes sont des points essentiels sur lesquels nous veillons quotidiennement.

I gave my credit card details when I reserved the room for 2 nights. When I arrived you took a holding amount from my card which you said was for extras, this has happened before so I didn’t think anything more about it. While staying in Amboise I used the same card without incidence but when I checked out you said the room charge would be deducted from the amount you were holding. The next time I tried to use my card was on the autoroute on my way to catch a ferry in St Malö and it was refused. Fortunately I had a UK card but if I hadn’t I would have been unable to reach my destination. I rang the hotel to find out what had gone wrong because the problem must have been with you and your checkout procedure. I was told the bank were at fault which was impossible as I had been using my card and that I should contact them. This is the first problem I have had after staying in Novotels in France for many years and I believe the failure was something unique to how the checkout was processed. The explanation and subsequent email accepted no responsibility when clearly the fault was yours. You owe me more than an apology if you wish to retain a previously loyal customer.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to explain your experience in detail. We are truly sorry for the inconvenience and stress this situation caused during your journey, especially at such an important moment of travel. We fully understand how concerning it must have been to find your card temporarily unavailable on the road. The pre-authorisation process is a standard hotel procedure used to guarantee any potential extras during the stay, and it is then released or adjusted at checkout based on actual charges. However, we regret that the timing and handling of this process may have led to an unexpected impact on your available balance. We also regret that our initial communication did not give you the clarity and reassurance you were expecting. While banking processes involve multiple intermediaries, we fully acknowledge your dissatisfaction with how the situation was explained and followed up. Your loyalty to the Accor group over many years is highly valued, and we are genuinely sorry that this incident has affected your trust. Your feedback has been shared with the hotel team and relevant support services for further review to help prevent similar situations in the future. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence during a future stay at Novotel Amboise or another property within the group. Kind regards, William Poma General Manager – Novotel Amboise
