"It would have been a fabulous night away if the humming sound hadn’t kept us awake."

5.0

Everything was great except the humming sound during the night coming from above the ceiling.

There was a constant humming sound during the night. Sounded like it was above the ceiling like some sort of equipment running. It was very difficult to sleep. That was room number 7 , so don’t reserve that room. The receptionist said they could have moved us if we had let them know. To me that would have been a huge inconvenience to move in the middle of the night.

"La ville et l’hôtel absolument charmants"

8.0

Cet hôtel a un charme de dingue et nous avons vraiment l’impression de faire un voyage dans le temps tout en bénéficiant de services adaptés à la vie actuelle.

Du fait de l’année de construction du bâtiment il est certain que l’isolation phonique n’est pas optimale.
