Friendly and comfortable hotel in a convenient city location
Pros:

Great location, very friendly and helpful staff, very clean and comfortable and best of all a truly sumptuous and delicious breakfast. On sight restaurant also very good and friendly during the day.

Cons:

Nothing wrong but it would have been helpful to supply extra water in the room fridge. Chargeable or not is fine but it would have been good to have easier access to water. Plus coffee machine instructions would have been helpful. However after asking a staff member she helpfully came to show me. But honestly these a minor things - I really enjoyed Hotel Rousseau!

Great location, good size room, bring your own coffee pods!
Pros:

the location was gteat, good size room and really nice to have the small sofa to sit on and the mini fridge to put a few things in. Easy to get to from train and close to the lake, grocery really close. Nice reception when we got there.

Cons:

Only having 2 coffee pods when we were there for 2 nights was very annoying. You can buy more, but when spending a lot for the room, more pods should be included and NOT for a fee! Didn't;t like the bathroom door-hard to keep closed. The shower door didn't completely close- may have been missing a plastic strip.
