We spent three nights in this little hotel in May. We think it's more like a hostel somehow. The owners had limited English but were friendly. The beds are clean. With no air conditioning, it's quite hot to stay in the room at night. However, if you just want to find a clean affordable place and closed to the centre of Amboise to sleep at night, it's highly recommended. There was a computer to use for free. But the owner only suggested us to use until 9pm because they needed to go to bed and they thought it should be bedtime for us too. We didn't have breakfast in there because we found it cheaper to buy some food in the supermarket. Overall, we think Chaptal is vaule for money.
