The rooms and restaurant were excellent, I chose a superior room overlooking the Loire River. 1st floor, The disappointment was the state of the grounds - swimming pool looked neglected, and the gardens and pathways were untidy.

Great that is going to be remodel
We recently stayed at this hotel, which used to be very nice, but now it is in need of a good remodel. The area is beautiful, and the building itself has great potential. The rooms and bathrooms need a lot of work, and the AC and heater require significant improvements. It's wonderful to hear that the hotel will be closing for renovations, as the property has so much to offer once it's refreshed.

The room had a private terrace which was very nice, and the room was appropriately decorated. The bed was too hard for me and the bathroom while large was dated. The staff was friendly.

We found the staff was great, ice restaurant but the place was tired and unkept grounds. We learned the place is going to close in Jan 2025 for an 18 month renovation. I can only imagine how nice it will be when complete. The owner is a multi hotel owner and well experienced in offering excellent hotel experiences.

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

Disappointing
The room was in the attic - where servants used to be - and decoratively very tired, stuffy and shabby furniture. Nowhere near the four stars it claimed to be or worth the four star price of the stay. Questions asked of reception seemed too much trouble not least a shrug when asked when the bar opened.

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.

Old fashioned - and not alway in a good way
The hotel is in a convenient place, and has onsite parking ( v useful in Amboise) and has a pool, BUT The decor and grounds are dated and desperately need updating. We had a basic room , which was not in the main building , and was up 2 steep staircases ( no lift) . the room was spmall with a small window - thus dark. There was beautiful oriental print wall covering, but old and tired deep maroon carpeting, v old tv, very old and ugly fridge cabinet etc. The bathroom has old-fashioned dark brown mock stone pattern tiling. There was no shower enclosure - just a shower handle mounted on the bathtubs. If you took a shower - the whole room was soaked making th smooth floor very slippery. The bath had been repainted in enamel paint which was peeling. There was a huge dead tree in front of the room with dead plants on the garden wall. The hand railings to the pool were rusty and stained. the concrete path to the room was cracked and stained. The front desk tried to hard sell us the expensive breakfast and dinner reservation. Summary - convenient , but needs TLC and renovation. Disappointing for the price.
