Very close to the town centre. The room was well appointed spacious and quiet. The hotel facilities were excellent. The reception staff were attentive and always available. The on-site restaurant served excellent food in the evening. There was a swimming pool on-site which was open, although unheated when I was there but that was not a problem at all for me. Checking in and out all easy and convenient.

Beautiful, charming cottage... like stepping back in time. Very romantic. Property grounds are lovely. Buildings are showing their age, but that's part of the charm. Due for renovation in Jan '25. Staff was professional & helpful. Breakfast & dinner at the hotel are pricey.

Our own little chateau!

We had a wonderful stay at the Choiseul, from the moment we checked in to the moment we drove away for the last time, the staff was top notch. They even set up a seating area for us in the terrace of our room so our friends from a neighboring room could join us for wine in the shadow of the Royal Chateau. Room #4 is the best!! And don’t stay here without eating at Le 36 - the food was amazing! Just a wonderful stay in Amboise.

Charming hotel and restaurant

Le Choiseul was a beautiful place to stay with lots of charm and history. Their restaurant was wonderful and I recommend dinner there while staying at Le Choiseul. All of the employees were very gracious. My only two “complaints “ were that our room had no wifi (perhaps due the thick walls) and the shower hose could not be attached to anything so you always had to hold it. Otherwise I highly recommend the hotel and restaurant

The receptionist was welcoming and friendly. The breakfast buffet was not great. They charged 22 euros, but quality was not good. For example, selection was not good and scramble eggs tasted like soggy. Comparing price and food didn’t match. The property was so beautiful!

Lovely property and great service. No elevator and must be able to walk. I was placed in a room at the very top floor so there were many stair cases to navigate. The room service was lovely. It would have been nice to enjoy the pool but, my time didn't allow for it. Location was right on the edge of the town and under the castle walls. Spectacular views when walking to the town center. The hotel staff arranged for my taxi service when I departed.
