This is not a regular hotel. It's an experience. And a fantastic experience at that. The idea of sleeping in a very old cave with little ventilation, no natural light and high humidity might not sound appealing to all but we definitely enjoyed it. Personally I would not stay for more than one night but the property is well worth a visit. The room while not too bright is nicely decorated and pleasant to be in. The only complaint about the room is the wall between the room and the toilet which is not complete. Wall only goes until like 2 meteres and then there's a massive gap all the way to the high ceiling. You really need the toilet to be completely separate from the rest of the room which this was not. My wife and I have been married for several years but we still like our privacy and a sound/smell barrier is definitely needed if you know what I mean. Most of the staff were lovely. The gentleman that checked us in was very friendly and we felt welcome throughout the stay. The breakfast was excellent we just wished we had our own table rather than sharing with others. Not a dealbreaker but we like our privacy. Now our favourite thing about this property was the pool that never closes. So unlike virtually all hotels in the world, you can have a swim at any time of the day and night. Which we did, at midnight. While having a bottle of wine. It was incredible :)

We arrived about an hour before the designated checkin time and just wanted to use the bathroom urgently after a few hours of driving but the man who was there at the time (different person to the main reception gentleman) was very rude to us and basically kicked us out and told us to come back after the check in time. Bizarre. That man should not be talking to guests. Very angry person.

The experience of staying in a cave was unique and interesting. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was delicious. The pool was really cool to sit by, although we did not swim. We slept very well in the beds and were surprised at how late it was when we got up because the room was pitch dark. It was a fun experience to visit this hotel.

There was a chlorine smell from the pool in the front area. I found it a little hard to breathe in the room, and the manager offered to put in a dehumidifier. This solved my problem completely and I slept well. It was a fun experience to stay there, all in all.

We lovedstaying in the private troglodyte cave - beautiful and clean, well appointed (awesome projector screen TV on to the cave wall!), comfy bed and great bathroom. Everything we needed for a romantic getaway - parking available close to the hotel, on the street just out front (great when driving from Paris, which I would recommend). The town of Amboise is a short walk (10 mins) away - and right next door is the most amazing winery (Caves Ambacia) which is perfect for dinner and afternoon drinks. The host at the hotel was incredibly gracious and made a delightful breakfast each morning! I can nit recommend highly enough, if you are a couple exploring the loire valley - this is the perfect place to stay! We stayed 2 nights - wish we had more!

It was all fantastic - no dislikes

Room was a delight. The bed was magical. A lovely breakfast was brought to our room on a trolley and left outside the door at an agreed time. Spa bath was such a treat.

Towels and slippers could have been provided in the pool area as there was no changing facilities. This would prevent dripping water on the tiles in the corridor and potential slipping. We used our bath towels from our room which we took to the pool area but it meant they were wet with chlorine water for our next bath.

It was a very warm night in Amboise when we were there but it was lovely and cool in our cave bedroom. The warm jacuzzi was very welcoming after an invigorating dip in the pool. The staff were very welcoming and took time to explain the history of the place. Good breakfast too. We liked the location as it was just a short walk to the town, restaurants and there was wine tasting next door!

There was no car park at the guest house, but there was plenty of parking on the road side opposite.

We enjoyed our new and unique cave hotel experience. The location was convenient to many chateaus and walkable to town; breakfast was standard/satisfactory; the pool looked lovely, although we didn't use it; the room comfort was good (no windows and cave darkness is great for sleeping, and we expected the humidity). The common areas were comfortable and nicely decorated.

Divider walls between rooms within the cave did not seem very soundproof--but of course this is due to the unique building within a cave.

lovely breakfast delivered to the room. the pool is great, especially after a days sightseeing/cycling. perfect temperature in the room and had the best nights sleep i can remember. location is perfect, just a short stroll into the centre of town. car parking is on the road next to the lake but that is not a problem. Many thanks to Valentin for your advice/recommendation to visit Gouffre De Padirac and Rocamadour in the Massif Central which was our next destination. We did, and you were right! they were amazing!

no facility to have a coffee/tea in the room.

The best nights' sleep of my whole holiday. Dark and silent and so cool when the days were humid and over 30°. Try this for a coupke of nights for a really different experience. We were made very welcome and we loved the calm when the town is so bustling. The inside pool is lovely too. Located close enough to town to walk and with plenty of free parking on the street

Possibly somewhere to dry swimming gear as the cool in the cave didn't allow mine to dry. We could have turned up the heater though.

Jacuzzi in the bathroom. Large bedroom. View on the garden, so natural light. Generous breakfast. Warm welcome. Not quite so keen on poor lighting as electricity, plumbing, ventilation, toilets are all necessarily retrofitted to caves, so typically a bit DIY-ish. Slight mustiness to the rooms as the care rock is slightly porous.

Covered this above.

Love the Hibiscus Suite! Living in a cave dwelling is very cool. The suite is very spacious, really enjoyed the hot tub and having our own arched doorway to the courtyard was great. The breakfast was delicious, fresh and substantial. The owner and his son went above and beyond in booking taxis for us when our phones did not get service in Amboise. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in every way. Thank you!
