Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was fantastic, right by Place Massena and close to various amenities, but the room had some issues, particularly with water damage and size constraints. The service was exceptional, making up for some of the shortcomings. The dining options were a bit hit and miss. However, the overall value for money was reasonable.
The hotel's location is ideal, right on the corner of the main shopping street with easy access to the promenade and old town. The service was lacking in communication but housekeeping and tours assistance were helpful. The dining options were overpriced, and the rooms felt small and basic, more akin to a one-star hotel.
The hotel is wonderfully located in the city center near all amenities. The rooms, while in need of refurbishment, offer useful amenities like aircon and a safe. The service is helpful but lacking local sightseeing knowledge. The hotel is quiet, comfortable, and a great value for the money. The dining experience is basic but satisfactory.
The hotel is centrally located, just minutes away from the promenade and Monoprix, surrounded by shopping streets and restaurants. While the rooms lacked stationary and washing soaps, they offered a choice between feather or foam pillows, a safe, and plenty of sockets. The air conditioning, though not very cold, provided a comfortable room temperature. The noise from a generator outside could be a disturbance when the window was open, but closing it ensured a quiet stay.
The hotel was ideal for transport with a tram stop just 50 meters away, and restaurants were a convenient 4-minute walk in a pedestrianized area. The rooms were perfect for three people, clean, and spacious, but our experience was slightly marred by the inconvenience of room switches and some maintenance issues like flickering lights and old furniture. The service was very helpful overall, particularly with tour arrangements, yet lacked detailed directions at times. The central location was convenient, close to everything necessary, but some inconvenience arose due to ongoing construction nearby. The dining options were subpar for the cost, with limited choices and somewhat overpriced. Despite some shortcomings, the hotel's facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel has a great location, close to many attractions, but the rooms were smaller than expected and quite noisy at night. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
