Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located in the heart of the city, making it convenient for exploring. The staff are helpful and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant stay. However, the surrounding area may be a bit noisy, affecting the overall tranquility. The value for money is fair, considering the central location.
The hotel is situated in a calm side street just steps from the metro, offering a quiet stay with convenient access to transportation. The rooms are well-maintained and cozy, though the dining experience is lacking in diversity. The service is top-notch, with helpful staff willing to assist with baggage even after check-out. Overall, a comfortable stay with good value for money.
I had a mixed experience staying at this hotel. The rooms were maintained clean and comfortable, but the location was in a slightly dangerous area, making it a bit unsettling. The service, including the option for baggage deposit after check-out, was satisfactory. The dining, although not included, offered some higher quality French bread for an extra charge. Overall, it was a decent stay with some drawbacks to consider.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were well-maintained and clean, offering a comfortable experience. The service was top-notch, with the added convenience of allowing baggage deposit after check-out and assistance with tours and tickets. The location, although a bit further from the center, was in a very busy neighborhood that provided easy access to various attractions. The dining options were satisfactory, especially for those looking for high-quality French bread, but it came at an additional cost. Overall, a great value for the money with some minor drawbacks.
