Très bien
Pros:

Accueil et chambre très biens. Très propre. Quartier en pleine réhabilitation donc le soir pas le meilleur . Je l’ai pris pour sa proximité de la gare. Plats en chambre trop limités. Dommage

Pros:

The room was great; spacious comfortable and quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was good but over the period we stayed, the service and availability of items; juice and cold meats (for eg), became a problem. The location of the hotel was close to the river and public transport but it isn’t the nicest part of the city and walking through these areas in the evening isn’t the best

Ok … wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

Hotel is in good condition and is exceptionally clean. Pillows were awful!
However, the area around the hotel is currently run down, undesirable and is in the process of being regenerated.
It is a 40 min walk into the city centre and I would certainly not advise walking to the hotel after dark from the city centre. The tram is a 10 min walk, under an underpass in an undesirable area.
The car park across the road is not well lit.

Pros:

3人で一部屋を予約したにもかかわらず、タオル、バスローブ、カップ等の部屋のアメニティが2人分しか用意されていなかった。1日目はまだしも2日目も同様でレセプションと部屋係の連携が取れていないような気がした。
また、シャワールームと洗面所との区別がカーテンのみでせっかくいいシャワーがついているのに思い切りシャワーをする水が洗面所の方に流れでてしまうのには困った。

Clean/friendly/location ok/noise terrible
Pros:

Enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Very clean and staff are friendly and helpful.

Not the best of locations however. Bus and trams required for getting into the centre. Would not recommend walking back to the hotel late at night on your own.

Also, night club next doors runs till 6am and the noise was terrible.

Pros:

Hotel itself is great but the area around S Jean station is undergoing significant regeneration. There is a large construction site a few blocks away. Other buildings close by are disgusting. Earmarked for demolition, the lanes are full of rubbish and rats. Across the road, a food court and restaurants have closed because the development seems to be stalled. The area is quite safe day or night.

Pros:

Lovely hotel and staff - breakfast disappointing for Euro 19 - very little fresh fruit and wasn’t topped up when empty and also had to wait for scrambled eggs - had to ask even though the bowl was empty and when I was filled up was used by 3 people and I had to ask again . Staff were lively and just a shame breakfast wasn’t better
