Below Par
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Food, facility, room ...all downmarket. Breakfast in particular was dismal. We chose to eat other meals outside as one look at the dinner buffet put us off.

Un hôtel comme les autres
Pros:

Localisation ultra centrale
Bonne literie
Belle bâtisse d’époque
Petit dej très copieux

Cons:

Notre suite donnait sur rue et c’est donc légèrement bruyant mais la ville se calme vers 22h donc ça va.
Je n’ai pas apprécié qu’on me fasse payer la chambre à l’arrivée! C’est le seul hôtel durant mes 3 semaines de vacances qui a fait ça. Pas très professionnel.

Fabulous location, nice colonial hotel, super helpful staff.
Pros:

Fantastic location, staff were super helpful. Room was large and had a mosquito plug which is always good. Bed was large and comfy and bathroom was good too.
They give you a free 10 minute food massage voucher, but the 'spa' didn't look inviting so I didn't use this.

Cons:

Breakfast was a bit basic with not a lot of option, but given its a small hotel it makes sense not to prepare a lot of food for few people.
