Great staff, expensive
Pros:

The staff was super nice, especially during breakfast! Very attentive and charming. The room was clean and compact.

Cons:

For that price, i would have expected at least a water bottle in the room. Unfortunately, the light in the hallway was on all night, which was visible through the gaps in the door frame. Naturally, due to the gaps, there was no soundproofing.

Une bonne adresse au calme
Pros:

Excellent accueil , de bons échanges par mail avant notre arrivée , qui nous ont permis de venir en bus sans encombres .
L'hôtel est très propre , la chambre était très spacieuse , la salle de bain également.
La literie très confortable.
Nous avions pris le petit déjeuner qui était très bon , servi directement à table .
Un très bon établissement avec un prix somme toute correct pour une capitale.
