Cédric, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

A convenient place near Central Station

The room was a bit on the small side (the bathroom was quite large however) but it had what we needed. It was raining a lot which I think caused an annoying drip sound but we were warm and snug. There are many restaurants nearby and central is only 5 minutes walk.
