Un très bel hôtel bien situé. La chambre est grande, propre et confortable. La cour arrière entourée de verdure permet de prendre une pause dans un beau décor. Il est facile de se stationner dans le stationnement payant situé à une rue.

Wonderful stay
Great central location. Comfy bed. Fantastic friendly staff without exception. Extremely welcoming and great touch of dog bowls and biscuits. Some TLC needed in parts but overall stunning. Amazing breakfast for a celiac. The only drawback is no onsite secure parking but there is plentiful public parking only 90 seconds walk away.

Really beautiful hotel in a great area. Our room was quiet and spacious, and the bed was really comfortable. High ceilings, discrete decor and well appointed bathroom.
The car park was a public one, about 200 meters away from the hotel, but was reasonably priced and very secure.

Très bon séjour!!
Excellent établissement avec un accueil irréprochable!
Leger bémol concernant l’exposition de la suite qui donnait directement sur la cour de l’hôtel et ses occupants… en effet malgré la présence de rideaux, il a fallu que je tire le double rideau pour préserver ma confidentialité…
