Decent room, very comfy bed. Basic but clean. Bathroom was clean, shower was hot and powerful. Quiet location on a nice square with a few bars, very central and near to the river / old town funicular.
Staff were adorable. Breakfast was very carb-heavy but amazing bread.
Would visit again for a solid budget stay in a great location.

Staff were very nice and location perfect. Our room looked out at the theatre.
Premasis is showing its age and a little decorating would be a big plus.
Overall a good stay

Great location and very helpful and friendly staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable but the hotel is a little older so it has some character. There were two flights of stairs to get up to the reception desk, so if you have mobility issues this would be challenging. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay.

A clean warm room in an ideal location at a budget price.
I am shocked how, given you cannot read anything about this hotel without knowing there is no lift, people still complain. The hotel is on the third floor, the steps are shallow and the friendly staff will carry your bags. We are in our 80s but the lack of a lift certainly didn’t spoil our stay We would go back

The hotel is 3 floors above the ground so you will need to bring your luggage up. It is a very very basic hotel that is very outdated. However, it was clean, reception staff was very nice and helpful. Good quality for the money. But if there is price comparable hotel with normall ground floor checkin on the street go for another one. I was a mom with two girls and the entrance os on the side street with 3 flights of stairs so not very safe and convienient.

Clean room and very friendly and helpful staff. The rooms were a good size for French hotel rooms and very clean, but it is an older hotel so some of it seemed like it was probably due for a refresh. There are a lot of stairs, so not The hotel for you if that is a proble. However, the location was perfect for exploring the city on foot, and the staff was extremely helpful.

Great location and friendly staff
Room was clean and comfortable. Nice French breakfast was served. All staff members I encountered were very kind. My room was off the lobby so it was a little noisy in the morning when other guests were having breakfast. Overall a great stay and a good value for such a central location
