This is a newly renovated hotel which open just a month ago according to concierge. The room doesn't required key entry. Staff will provide specific code for entering the room. Room was on first floor. Ver small but cozy for myself. No restaurant but in the basement there's kitchen area and visitors can cook or drink plus sink to clean dishes. Overall I love it. But for some might think no room for opening their luggage at all. The only down side was room doesn't really have sound-proof, so when guest entered their code back to their room kinda woke me up in the middle of the night. Otherwise I enjoyed the coziness.

Le personnel à l'accueil a été parfait La chambre : grosse surprise quant à l'état général assez vétuste qui ne correspond pas du tout au photos flatteuses du site Le petit déj à 8h se prend dans un sous sol dans un état presque dégueulasse, les pieds comment au sol, les murs sont dans un sale état...: à fuir absolument. On trouve mieux et pas plus cher dans les petits bistrots typique du centre
