Fodor's Review:

Two blocks behind Château d'Amboise and a five-minute walk from the town center, this small, old hotel has enthusiastic, very welcoming, English-speaking owners and rooms of different shapes and sizes: No. 229, for example, has exposed beams and a cathedral ceiling; No. 109 is comfortably spacious with a good view of the square. The on-site restaurant, L'Alliance (under different management; no lunch Tuesday or Wednesday), offers a three-course menu for EUR 20 and four courses for EUR 27, with scrumptious roast lamb with garlic, tuna with sesame seeds, and salmon carpaccio with mustard dressing. But beware: you must arrive by 8:45 for dinner. Pros: quaint charm; families welcome. Cons: small bathrooms; rooms can be stuffy in summer.Agnès (propriétaire)
