Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had beautifully decorated rooms with a lovely garden terrace, which made my stay feel special. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, allowing me to explore the city a bit longer. However, upon arrival, I noticed a few essentials were missing in the room, like soap and bottled water. While the location was great, being close to the main attractions, it still felt a bit out of the bustling noise.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel with beautifully decorated rooms, high ceilings, and a comfortable bed. The service was wonderful with friendly staff, but the dining options were a bit pricey for what was offered. The location is excellent, right near the Cathedral and old town, which made exploring easy. Overall, it was a great experience but with some minor drawbacks in dining.
The hotel offers a peaceful retreat right in the city center, with beautiful garden access and very clean accommodations. The rooms are comfortable, but not overly spacious. The staff is incredibly welcoming and goes above and beyond to assist guests. The location is perfect, close to the bus station and plenty of great dining options, although the breakfast experience fell a bit flat with limited choices.
I stayed at the hotel recently, and overall, it was a lovely experience. The rooms had a charming old French feel and were quite affordable, although a bit small. The staff was generally friendly and helpful, but I did have a slight issue with noise during my stay. The location was perfect, close to shops and the marina, making it easy to explore. Though the dining experience was good, I felt it could benefit from more variety, especially during breakfast hours.
