Don't be put off by the front elevation of the building. The main entrance is just around the corner. The room was lovely and clean with adequate plug sockets, minibar and hairdryer. Decor was old french style with material wall hangings as opposed to wallpaper, looked as if it had not long been refurbished. The staff were helpful and friendly. The reason I have only given a very good rating and not an excellent one is that whilst a continental breakfast was included, there was not much choice and you had to catch the waitress if you wanted more than the first cup of coffee which was served to you.
