Great staff and location but extremely noisy

Extremely nice and accommodating staff, great location. Hotel is on the top of so called “ American” restaurant. A lot of bars around so it is extremely noisy. We were not able to fall asleep until 2am. Definitely not the place for families with kids.

Yvan, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hotel is a bit dated & only one key per room. Room was big and clean but the sofa bed for third person was hard as a rock. Staff aren’t always around so you have to call them. They are attentive. Hotel is conveniently located.
