Staff is great, very helpful. Breakfast is average for 8 euros paid. Great location. The bad part: stairs: we had 15 days of trip baggage, which we had to take upstairs by ourselves (ugh); Room is old, as well as the bathroom, water had a hard time to stay warm during bath.

We got here in pouring rain and were happy to be in a warm dry place. We found the staff (owners, really) very helpful... but we also speak French. Since we were staying longer than most tourists, we got a sizeable room. We found the door to the bathroom a bit weird (a harmonica of sorts) but what the heck.... More

Perfectly positionned on the city center, charming hotel and very nice owners. The room is nonetheless little, especially the bathroom and there is no elevator. Take care also to the noise you will produce in the corridor, it seems doors are very thin!

From the outside this hotel looks very nice, a nice compact reception, located in a good part of town, a friendly welcome. We booked here for one night. When we booked she asked for our card details to hold the room, but she did not mention taking a deposit or charging us up front. On arrival we were two hours... More

The location is very convenient. 2 mins walk to the nearest supermarket and 5 mins walk to everywhere pretty much – I think for the location itself, this hotel is great value for money. The staffs don’t really speak English, so a little bit body language is required. She is trying though, so no complained there. The only downside, (which... More

A poor quality hostel standard room for a two/three star price. When we first arrived we were met by a helpful member of staff who happily told us about local sights and things to do. This was the highlight of our stay. The room itself was filthy; I could comfortably scrape off thick black dirt from the bed-light (see pic),... More

We enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it. The rooms were fairly quiet, clean and basic with ok beds, but the location was very good!

Great hotel in the center of the old town; is a family business and the couple very helpful, the rooms are spacious and super comfortable and clean. If you need wifi go to the restaurant " Le Grand Cafe" (about two blocks from the hotel) order a cup of coffee (2 euros) and take care of your internet business. While... More

Amazing location with very helpful staff! This beautiful hotel is small, but has so much character. It was easy to find and it was just what we needed. The rooms aren't particularly big and there is no lift, so if you travel with lots of baggage, probably not a good idea. If however, like us, you want a place to... More
