Proximitรฉ du centre ville. Parfait. Bel รฉtablissement. Petit dรฉjeuner trรจs bien. Personnel agrรฉable et rรฉactif. La chambre รฉtait spacieuse et donnait sur le jardin. Hotel joliment dรฉcorรฉ.

Problรจme avec la climatisation qui nโ€™a plus fonctionnรฉ ร  la fin du sรฉjour. On nous a fourni 2 ventilateurs car il faisait trรจs chaud dans la chambre et ce n'รฉtait pas possible de changer de chambre car l'hรดtel รฉtait complet.

"Comfy in the cooler months"

6.0

Consistent, high quality and attentive care from staff. Good quality rooms and fittings, clean. Nice breay, great location.

No aircon in my room in 32 degree heat however I met another guest at breakfast and they said they had it in their room. I booked 6 months in advance to make sure I got looked after but apparently that didn't make any difference. Initially they tried to put me on the third floor which was like a furnace but I insisted on being moved to the first floor and they were very accommodating. In the cooler months I am sure it would be very comfortable but management needs to learn how to deal with hot weather more efficiently because you don't keep the heat out by opening the windows in the middle of the afternoon. The staff were just lovely.
