Overall it was great!
Pros:

I love location and decor. Breakfast and breakfast room was so nice and unique. Little court inside is charming and roof terrace with a view a big bonus. Our room was at top floor and had nice view.

Cons:

The only minus that there were no air conditioner and it was 30+ degree outside. Also, would be nice to provide water bottles for the room.

Great location and a large bed. Great value!
Pros:

Perfect location near the cathedral and restaurants. The hotel was historic with charm. Cute courtyard and the bed was big and comfortable. (I wish we had tried the breakfast due to the great reviews).

Cons:

The shower drain didn’t work very well and there wasn’t very much shampoo or shower gel. Since the weather was exceptionally warm, the room was warm with no air conditioning. The fan and open windows helped though.

A little disappointed
Pros:

Location was very good
Breakfast was good, saved time having to find somewhere open early in the morning

Cons:

The room was very small, the shower was cold and almost was electrocuted with hairdryer. We reported this and the water went from 0 to hot hot hot, and a replacement hairdryer provided (just hope they fix the in situ hairdryer for next guests)

So glad we stayed here! Can’t imagine a better location!
Pros:

Amazing location, just steps away from the cathedral and an amazing view of church of St McClou as well. Quaint, delightful village with charming Tudor-style architecture Fantastic restaurants just steps away as well. Cannot imagine a better location. Staff was lovely and breakfast was delicious—esp the pain au chocolate and the fresh grapefruit juice. Lift was helpful for our luggage.

Cons:

Bathroom was in an odd location and shower stall was minimal and unappealing. Sink was across the room. Just have to remember the building is very old! Public parking was safe and in a nice location but VERY hard to find the entrance using Google Maps!

Top locatie wel klaar voor wat vernieuwing van binnen
Pros:

Top locatie en een mooi gebouw

Cons:

Al het meubilair maar zelfs de handdoeken zijn wel een keer aan vernieuwing toe. Het is natuurlijk een oud pand en dat hoort er wat bij maar ik kon letterlijk door een handdoek heenkijken omdat hij zo dun was geworden van al het gebruik.

Cons:

Colazione senza scelta di dolci classici francesi , solo brioche , anche se molto buone .
Assenza di parcheggio e anche l’impossibilità di scaricare i bagagli davanti alla struttura ( sarebbe opportuno dare accesso temporaneo nell’area a traffico controllato abbassando la torretta a scomparsa per gli ospiti )
