I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, where the rooms were updated and impeccably clean with fantastic amenities included. The location was also great, close to various attractions. However, while the service was good, I found it could be improved in some areas. Overall, it felt like a good value for money given the comfort and cleanliness of the rooms.

I had a pleasant stay with clean rooms and lovely little touches throughout. The AC worked perfectly, which was a big plus! However, I found the tiny bathroom door a bit strange, and the service, while nice, wasn't always prompt. Overall, I felt it was a decent value for what I paid.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which offered a charming little kitchen and some delightful touches in the room. The tiny toilet with its odd doors was a bit of a head-scratcher, but overall, the modern facilities made up for it. The location is super convenient, putting me in the heart of the action, and even though the dining options were limited, the fresh baguettes and croissants were a treat. A couple of minor inconveniences, like the strange bathroom setup and some average service, kept me from giving it a perfect score.
