Reviews and Ratings
The hotel exudes charm with its spacious and comfortable rooms that have plenty of character. The service was pleasant overall, although some areas needed attention. The location is perfect for exploring the historic surroundings. Dining was good but had minor disappointments. A solid option for a short stay.
The hotel is conveniently located in the town center near bars and restaurants, making it great for exploring the local area. The rooms are nicely prepared and very clean, though a bit small. The service is polite and extremely helpful. The dining options are good, serving freshly cooked meals at night. The hotel is historic with recently refurbished rooms, offering a unique experience. The Octopus Millefeuille is a highlight.
My stay at the hotel was unforgettable! The rooms were recently redecorated and overlooked the beautiful courtyard; it was the perfect setting for a romantic midweek or weekend getaway. However, some areas seemed a bit tired and in need of refurbishment. The service by the staff was welcoming and accommodating, though there were slight hiccups like forgetting to provide towels initially. The location was fabulous, right at the heart of town with a lovely buzzing courtyard. The dining experience, although with friendly staff, had its disappointments, especially with the toast being a bit soggy. Overall, it was a delightful stay with some minor imperfections.
