Relais de Chambord, a Small Luxury Hotels of the World
6/10 Okay
"After check-in we waited for over 2 hours for our room to be available. Front desk promised to update us on progress with our rom - but they did not. It was after 5pm when our room was ready. This hotel is described as a luxury hotel but it is not and should not be listed as a 'Small Luxury Hotel' of the world. The rooms are very small and basic, the breakfast is poor quality with staff who are not attentive, many items empty and not replenished and staff who seemed oblivious to guests needs. The exception was the evening restaurant staff who were excellent. Other guests were complaining. We will not be returning."
"One of best places I have stayed in — will highly recommend to friends and family. The place is serene, staff is very accommodating, spa is very relaxing, the facilities and food are outstanding!! A great place to pick as a base for visiting all the chateaus in the area and come back to relax at this property!! Wish we stayed longer but we will definitely be back!"
"The staff is nice. The room is nice but no coffee machine in room or bath robes. They had coffee in the main area for tours and told us we could not have any. The restaurant was nice and staff was attentive. We didn't get breakfast too expensive. The hotel should have a shuttle to town it's too far you need a car. This hotel if they don't provide a coffee machine in the rooms they should offer it in the main area."
"Chateau de Noizay is a luxurious oasis, a fairy tale refuge from the world’s current turmoil. From the moment one arrives, the extraordinary staff greets you and helps you into the hotel and on with your stay. Our beautiful second floor room looked out on the pristine manicured grounds with its white umbrellas, lovely lawn, swimming pool and tennis court as well as the little town of Noizay. The dining room offered delicious breakfasts as well as dinner on one night of our stay. Lunch on the terrace proved a relaxing late mid-day respite after tour the Cave of Vouvray nearby. The Chateau sits very near beautiful Amboise as well as Chenonceaux if one is interested in venturing out. The staff unfailingly proffered suggestions for seeing the area, helping with luggage and most especially in their genuine care and enthusiasm. My daughter and her husband who had visited Chateau Noizay on their honeymoon 20 years ago and are still talking about their experience there. Now we understand why!"
