We needed a place to stay during a long weekend of castle visiting in the Loire. We wanted to stay in Amboise for its central location, and this hotel was an easy-to-find good value within walking distance to Amboise Castle, the Loire, the Sunday market (a must) and dozens of restaurants. The half-timbered building is atmospheric (from the 1400s). Parking... More

We so enjoyed our stay, we intend to return ASAP! A good value, great location. Easy to find. The parking was convenient as well. This was a surprise as so many places were difficult to park. The town is charming, and fun. A great walking area and shopping. Easy to find food, and land marks..

We arrived here after dark on 1st January with no booking, but the kindly proprietors let us in & pointed us helpfully in the direction of a restaurant or two. The building itself is attractive, old & simply furnished, & within an easy stroll of the Chateau & town centre. Le Blason is comfortable & spotlessly clean, & they offer... More

We stayed at this hotel for five days in December. We booked a superior double room, expecting a standard double to be very small (typical for any european hotel). Even this room was not very large, but certainly adequate. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean and well kept. As others noted, the bathroom is astonishingly small, a... More

A short walk from the train (about 20 min) if the GPS is working correct. Again more small spiral stairs ( built in 1492). I only carry one bag at a time now. We had a window this time which opened to the street below. First walk was past the Royal mansion and to the house of Leonardo di Vinci... More

We (my mom and I) loved this hotel. It's incredibly quaint and well-situated in the city. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly (and trust me, we asked a lot of really dumb questions, in English). We stayed on the second floor and took the narrow stairs up, which wasn't a problem for us, but might be for some. Our... More

We stayed at Le Blason for 5 days early September. Our room was small, as is the shower/toilet, but it is an old building, and we had no complaint. The hotel owners were very friendly, continental breakfast was good, and our room was very quiet at night,having double glazing. Just a few minutes walk into the town centre. One issue-... More

We loved this little place! Walking distance to the two main attractions we wanted to see in Amboise (Château d'Amboise and Château du Clos Lucé), as well as to many of the shops and restaurants. Loved the 16th century structure they've made into this very cute hotel! The breakfast room was beautifully decorated, and the continental style breakfast was very... More
