I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were beautifully spaced out with a charming French touch and modern amenities, making it the perfect choice for solo travel. The location was incredible, allowing me to walk everywhere and just minutes away from the train station if needed. The service was top-notch with friendly and incredibly helpful staff who even went the extra mile to ensure my river cruise connection.

The hotel rooms were small but very efficient and perfect for a family of 4. Although our luggage was delayed upon arrival, the rooms were affordable and spacious enough for two people. The service was friendly and very attentive, from the receptionists to the breakfast staff. The location was excellent, near many tourist attractions and public transport options. The dining experience was said to be amazing but could have had more variety for the price paid.

The hotel offers rooms that are nicely appointed but pretty small for 2 people. They are spotless and provide all the amenities of a 5-star hotel. The service is top-notch, with a very friendly and accommodating staff. The location is superb, within walking distance to major attractions and in a safe, residential area. The dining options are good but maybe a bit limited for a 4-star hotel.
