What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“This is a gem! The long entrance into reception is like Alice in Wonderland…kinda psychedelic . Once inside the garden is such a respite from the bustling city. The Luxury street view room is good size and love the garden suite. Staff are great in every way. Warm and hospitable! We asked for assistance to allocate room due to mobility issue, it was granted with an email away. Sure it’s 2 stars without elevator and a few amenities, but hey…it great place!”
“I asked for a room without noises, and the room was super calm and very big and beautiful literally three minutes walking from the Cathedral. The rooms were refurbished recently and the hotel look new. Also service is great: they printed my boarding pass for free and helped me with responses on local transport.”
“C’est très bien! Great location walking distance to everything and excellent service. The garden view from my room was beautiful x”
“This is actually a hotel that has been here since 1972. It recently went throguh the renovation to bring it up today. The newy installed lawn from the garden makes huge different. All the rooms are small, yet tastfully done. The location is excellent, parking right next to hotel which makes it extremely convient for old town. Walking down the street is the old town. Many options for food and drinks day and night. I really enjoy it and would love to come back here again!”
