Well situated but heritage status limits ability to provide modern facilities
Pros:

Location and generous sized room. Being a heritage building it has a charm and individuality.

Cons:

The shower room was tired and fittings worn. Being a heritage building also limits the ability to offer modern facilities so it’s a compromise which limits the suitability of the building.

Pros:

Very comfortable hotel with a nice view from the balconies (at the ground floor) if we exclude the hours when the white buses of the Chinese people are parked (twice a day).
It offers an excellent breakfast and the staff is always willing to help.

Du charme et un peu de bruit
Pros:

La chambre située au premier étage a du charme. Ses deux petites fenêtres donnent sur la rivière. La literie est de bonne qualité. Le personnel est très sympathique et serviable.

Cons:

L'hôtel, situé à l'angle de deux rues, est parfois bruyant. Le climatiseur et le ventilateur qui paraissent vieux sont un peu bruyants.
