Adequate Stay with Minor Issues

central location helpful staff tea facilities inadequate soundproofing limited breakfast no room service

The hotel boasts a great central location. It is convenient for accessing key points of interest. The staff were friendly and helpful . The room had good WIFI and tea and coffee making facilities.

My room faced a main road, and the soundproofing was inadequate. This resulted in a poor night's sleep for me. The breakfast was limited and self-service. I felt it was not worth the B&B rate, sadly. There was no food available on the premises, and room service was absent, inconvenient.

Charmed by central stay

central location comfortable room friendly staff local attractions

I found the location quite central, just steps from the latin quarter. The room was modern and comfortable, a good base for exploring. The breakfast was a simple, yet tasty way to start the day... the staff were friendly too. I especially liked the helpfulness regarding local attractions.

The street noise was noticeable sometimes, a slight disturbance in an otherwise peaceful stay.

wonderful experience!

clean toilet comfortable furniture charging point tasty coffee

the staff were very helpful! i had to come in for a coffee a few times for business meetings. they were always so accommodating. the toilets were clean, and the furniture was comfortable. i also noticed charging points and tasty coffee, a well-kept secret!

the breakfast setup was awkward. the food was ok. the breakfast is served in the reception with a poor selection of food. i would not have paid extra for breakfast if i knew this.

the staff was friendly. the bed was large. i received a discount on the parking. the location was fantastic!!!

the tv didn't work because the wires were held together with sellotape. the windows were painted shut so i couldn't open them, and it was a very hot weekend. i had cold water in the shower in the morning.
