Château De Pray

This hotel was a complete delight. From check in to check out, pool to food and the complete hotel experience/ambience makes you smile. Also, a visit to Le Clos Lucé a few minutes away in Amboise is a 'must'. Great experience and sums up why I love the Loire Valley.

Everything was excellent.

The location and view are lovely, overlooking gardens and a nice pool area. Staff is friendly

Could be a wonderful Chateau Hotel but misses the mark. The decor looks tired and very hodge podge, mid 2000s modern bathrooms but faux historic decor elsewhere (poor quality fabric...velours), a 1980s rug in the corridors. It could all be decorated with real antiques from a brocante and would look more authentic. Cleaning staff left their cleaning buckets and products out all throughout the hallways in the morning which takes away from the experience.

So far so good. The Chateau is beautiful and rich with history. The staff is great and the location of the property is great

I first visited the Chateau in 2003. It is in a charming location and there is much to like about it. I noticed the bathrooms have been refurbished since then and that was good, as was the food and the bed was very comfortable. However a few things need urgent attention, most notably the wifi, which was appalling. Using an unsecured network is not acceptable in this day and age and loading anything took forever. I wondered in fact if the wifi was the same setup as 22 years ago! The hotel also needs to provide a mini fridge in the rooms. Another guest asked about this too, not just as a mini bar but also for medication which needs to be kept cool. The carpet in the room was covered in flakes of paint around the window. I got the impression that just enough investment has been made to keep things going… but even with its historic charm they are going to have to do more than that to keep up with the times.

The Chateaux is overdue a renovation. The much vaunted resteraunt was disappointing to say the least, with too much effort on the ‘frills’ like serving water every 5 mins but serving our own wine having asked 3 times and the food was heavy on presentation but light on flavour - it also took nearly 2 hrs to get to the main course.

Lugar charmoso e cheio de historia. Restaurante do hotel é excelente

A slice of heaven
