Loved the vibe-very clean but not fussy, eco but not militant, classy but not over the top. My room was efficient and the bed was so comfortable. The breakfast was copious and delicious.

The hotel is clean. The location is perfect, walking distance to all touristic attractions. The air condition works so loudly and the room is really smaller than photos.

The hotel was a good surprise. We had a cozy room but it was enough to host our family with 2 small kids.
The staff was fantastic and very helpful.
The hotel location is very convenient, close to the Perrache train station (walkable) and with plenty of restaurants close by. We had a very comfortable stay.

Easy checking in and out.
Kind, polite and helpful staff.
Decent hotel, near public transport and tourist attractions.
My room was a bit noisy early in the morning/night due to deliveries to the businesses around.
It was ok as it was in Winter, but in warmer times, could be a problem.
Breakfast was fine, although quite basic.
Hotel is an old building but it was clean.
