The hotel is located on the third floor with good lighting in the rooms, but they can feel a bit cold during nights and early mornings. The separate entrance and drive in the back are convenient amenities. The service was warm and hospitable, with beautiful and clean room decorations. The location is great for walking to various attractions, although there are some dodgy areas en route to certain places. The dining options were excellent in the main hotel, with made-to-order hot dishes and crepes available. Overall, a cozy stay but with minor drawbacks in terms of room temperature and specific walking routes.
