the room felt quite small. there was not much space to move around the bed, a bit cramped. also, the soundproofing wasn't great, i could hear noises from the hallway, this made it hard to relax at times.

I found the staff very helpful! they assisted with directions and local recommendations. The hotel has a garden, it provided a quiet space to relax. Breakfast included locally baked breads, those were a treat.
The room decor looked slightly dated. I think it could use a refresh.

great locationfriendly staffdated roompoor soundproofing
The location was quite good. It was walkable to many sights on the left bank. The staff seemed cute when I arrived and the lady who served breakfast, was friendly.
The room felt a bit dated. There weren't many plug sockets for charging my phone. I even had to remove a lamp to find one. Also I could hear the neighbors using their bathroom. The sound proofing wasn't great.
