The breakfast had a fine selection. The staff at the reception were very helpful to me. The location is very close to the train station, it is quite convenient. I was very happy.

The doors were slamming during the night. The bathroom felt cramped and tiny, it was not the best. The double room felt very small too.

Really good Hotel Experience

amazing breakfastdocumented historytoiletriesoverall maintenance

The breakfast was amazing. It was beautifully presented. The hotel maintains itself well. I love the history documented in the photos hung in the lobby. I appreciated the toiletries available in the bathroom.

I found that the soundproofing was not ideal. I heard some external noises. It slightly impacted my sleep.
