The location was brilliant, with the hotel being close to the west station and city centre. We were able to explore the city easily without having to move our car from the convenient onsite parking. The staff were well presented and attentive, making us feel welcomed throughout our stay. The breakfast offered a self-service buffet with plenty of options, including eggs cooked to order. The room was a good size and the bathroom had a nice shower. we were impressed with the cleanliness, hotel facilities, parking, transportation, and location to nearby restaurants and attractions.
Didn't dislike anything about the property.
We loved the excellent location, just opposite the west towers into this city. It made it so easy for us to explore the city centre without being stuck in the middle of it. The hotel facilities were great, with spacious rooms and a very comfortable bed. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially the bartender who recommended a delicious medicinal herbal drink from France. The parking provided was a bonus, and the cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable.
Nothing that we didn't like.
The room was small, but cozy and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for exploring the city and the nearby Cathedral. The staff were friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast was delicious and served in a pleasant setting.
Nothing negative to say, this hotel provided an enjoyable stay.
