Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We recently stayed at this hotel and were generally pleased with our experience, although there were a few surprises. Unfortunately, we were not aware at the time of booking that our room was located one floor up from the lift, requiring us to navigate a final set of narrow stairs, one of which was broken. This could be challenging for some guests. The layout of the family room was somewhat unusual and might not be ideal for everyone, though it was just about suitable for our close-knit family. The see-through shower door is also something one might need to get accustomed to. On a positive note, the breakfast was very nice, with a good variety of options available. Parking was convenient, though it needs to be pre-booked. There was a bit of a mix-up with our request, but thankfully, a space was found for us.Overall, it was a pleasant stay with a few areas that could benefit from some attention.

Good stay for work

Hotel is in a convenient location just a 10 minute walk from the old city center. The area is cute, near a lovely church. It is a steep uphill walk however to leave the hotel. So if you have mobility issues, this is not for you. Breakfast was very nice quality, fresh and delicious, including croissants, bacon, fresh nutella muffins, etc. Unfortunately, no coffee or tea facilities in the room! This was a shock! The rooms are also not very dark as a light beams in through the bathroom window and glass door, as well as several led lights coming from the television etc. It was quiet and I was undisturbed by noise. One of the bed sheets was stained by small red specks, like rust and there were several hairs stuck to the wall in the bathroom which was unsavory. There was no conditioner offered in the shower and the hot water took several minutes of running to turn on. The staff was friendly, helpful and pleasant! I needed an iron and ironing board and it was immeadiately brought to my room, which I appreciated!

Nice and clean and comfy beds

Stay here was amazing. Wish the tv was a smart tv so you can connect your phone and watch something decent apart from french channels. Also the breakfast is quite basic not alot of hot food and selection of cheeses. But its a great small hotel with great location
