"What an amazing location! and to have the view of the cathedral from our room, that was amazing. The staff was so helpful and friendly. We even got a complimentary ride to the airport which we didn't expect. The hotel is being updated but you can't beat the location and the staff. I highly recommend this hotel. "

Complimentary Nespresso coffee and creamer. Breakfast is boxed to order as an extra cost, so no dining facility, but you are surrounded by many bars and restaurants. Arai felt safe, room card entry to reception. Staff super helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend."

"Great little hotel in the old part of town. Walkable to almost everything you’d want to see. Wide variety of restaurants within a 10 minute walk. Staff was very helpful, gave me some pointers and got my cab for the airport. And even though it’s very central, it’s on an old side street that is very quiet especially at night."

"(French version follow) We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The 360-degree panoramic view of the city from the top of the hotel is absolutely breathtaking. On our last evening, we decided to dine on-site and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Additionally, the hotel is impeccably clean, and the staff is both friendly and attentive.
