Hôtel des Artistes

3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (1002)
"Positive: Despite the central location, the hotel is very quiet. Amazing to sleep. I found the beds very comfortable and the room was also big enough. I didn’t try the breakfast so I cannot say anything about it. The staff was also very nice. What I didn’t like was: I was confused about the room service. I never knew what the cleaning team would clean or replace. It all seemed random. Sometimes I would get a new towel for the floor but not a new one for my body. The protection glass in the...

Le Petit Tramassac

9.4 out of 10, Exceptional, (40)
"The apartment was in a perfect location to explore the old town, as well as being only a short walk from the metro and bridges to other parts of the city. It was easy to check in and out. The apartment itself was a wonderful, comfortable haven to return to after a day of exploring. It was good having the kitchen and a washing machine available. Not a problem for me but do be aware that it is up almost 60 steps, some of them quite steep, if mobility is an issue. "

Hotel Silky by HappyCulture

4.0 star property
8.8 out of 10, Excellent, (880)
"The hotel is very nice. It is well decorated, super well located, and it has a very nice vibe to it. The building is old, so there are a few things you should take into account: the elevator is small and slow, and halls are small and a bit inconvenient. But the rooms are big and well furnished, very clean, and very nice. The bathroom in my room was very spacey, and well equipped. The room itself had a balcony with a great view of the city, and very good heating. Breakfast was not outstanding,...
