Bien situé pour découvrir la ville

Très mauvaise insonorisation des chambres, restaurant hors de prix par rapport à la qualité des plats que nous avons mangé. Et enfin, malgré de nombreuses demandes, nous n'avons jamais pu utiliser le téléphone de notre chambre pour accéder aux services de l'hôtel !!

Great run operation. A building with a fantastic history and in grate shape. Great Staff, which is probably the most important aspect of a hotel in this price range. The location is GORGEOUS and we could do almost everything on foot.

That we couldn't stay for longer.

Beds were comfortable and fluffy and the TVs were nice and big. Location was great and service exceeded expectations. Wonderful hosts from the cleaners to the valets everyone was outstanding! Thank you!

We live in a large space and not used to small quarters such as the one offered by your hotel. On top of it, the living room sofa, where we spent our morning and evenings was pretty uncomfortable. Coming from the US we were hoping to find more local news - no big deal!
