Best Western Le Vinci Loire Valley

The hotel is very easy to find but is some way away from the medieval centre of the city. That brings benefits including free parking and easy journeys out of the town, but it does mean that there are no local restaurants (at least none I could find) within easy reach. I ate in the restaurant on two nights and the food was good and very reasonably priced. I found it a bit eccentric to order dinner from the front desk and then return 20 minutes later but no problem. I was however irritated that the restaurant closed one evening for a public holiday (All Saints) with no warning. Breakfast was very good with wonderful croissants. My room was small and I would have liked an easy chair, but the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine. I loved the shower head that changed from green to red as the water warmed up! Another review was charmed by the request not to use the lift after 11pm; that is not an appropriate suggestion if staying on the second floor and one which I would have therefore ignored had I wished to ascend after that time; however if you have a noisy lift (it wasn’t noticeably) then invest in a quieter one! Altogether a pleasant place to stay with only one or two quibbles. less

We spent a couple nights here. Laura, at the desk, did a great job for us. She gave good recommendations for everything we asked. She also helped us arrange for our next stay. The breakfast was not included and rather expensive. The air conditioning was turned off for the year, so the room was pretty warm. less

The hotel is an good option for business trip. Good breakfast and tasty dinner. One problem that i saw is the Access Card: if you loose one access card and ask for other one, the system(from reception) is not canceling the first card. less

I booked 2 rooms in this hotel for a one night stop-over on our journey south. Both rooms were spotless as were the bathrooms. My elderly mother appreciated the walk in shower as it was all on one level, and a handle on the wall close to the toilet. We appreciated having our evening meal in the hotel (available weekday nights) served with wine, it was all excellent. Breakfast the next morning was good, coffee from a machine was acceptable. The beds were comfortable. It was too far for us to walk into town but the next morning we drove into Amboise, in order to look around parking was straightforward. We found the staff helpful and the hotel offers a calm and pleasant place to stay, on the edge of a pretty town. less

I will first say that this is a very nice clean and comfortable well located hotel and by all means stay and enjoy. It is run more like a guest room in someone’s home. Breakfast is not included, and they require a head count. It is the same breakfast buffet served everywhere we stayed in France. They don’t really have a cafe but you MUST let them know in advance if you wish them to prepare a limited (pizza or lasagne ) menu. The parking gate closes at 11pm. the lift does as well ( for sound sake which is quite welcome) The small cups are “only for espresso”. The door to the backyard is only open at certain times in the late after noon and evening. There are cushions for the lawn furniture but not all of them are put out. Perhaps you need to ask. less
