8/10 Good
"Parking intérieur très intéressant bien que l’entrée soit très petite, notre Sportage passait tout juste en tournant. Chambre et salle de bain petites mais propres mais nous avons noté des moisissures à la base de la vitre de la douche. Très bon buffet-déjeuner servi dès 6:30 ce qui est parfait quand on veut profiter de la journée au maximum. Bien situé on peut ranger la voiture et se déplacer à pied."

"A well placed hotel for visiting the city. Lovely art deco designs are everywhere, and the hotel has real character. Arriving during a yellow warning heatwave, the air conditioning in the room made for a pleasant night’s sleep. Breakfast was quiet varied, with a hot food option in the form of bacon and eggs. The real highlight was the help we received from the hotel staff. They were engaging, and able to answer our queries about where places were, and how to get about using the public transport in and around the city. Certainly worth staying here."
