Small nice hotel

The room was very big nice and clean. A small cooker for making tea and coffee would be perfect but just a small enhancement. Parking is a bit cumbersome as you have to park in the street

Charming room

Overall a pleasant experience. The room is spacious and has a nice character. The location is great, just few steps from the pedestrian city centre area. Overall the room was clean but not spotless clean ( I made the mistake to put my bag over the wardrobe…. And lots of dust came down). In general I would say great value for money

My wife was having some medical issues and it was really difficult for her to climbed three flights of stairs. After explaining my situation to the manager he was unwilling to give us a room on the bottom floor. Parking is really difficult to find if you get back late.

Peut mieux faire

Il n'y a rien a dire sur la propreté. Le bémol est plutôt axé sur l'aspect pratique : l'hotel n'est pas équipé de clim mais le ventilateur ne peu pas être branché ailleur qu'au près du lit, de plus j'aurais aimé dormir avec les fenêtres grandes ouvertes mais du coup je ne pouvais pas fermer les rideaux. L'espace des sanitaires est un peu limité notamment pour l'usage des wc. Le choix des denrées salées pour le petit déjeuner est à mon goût un peu limité : jambon blanc industriel, une seule sorte de fromage, pas d'oeuf.
