Hotel des Arts is only 2 Star but it is quite stylish, clean and reasonably priced. The location is very good and central, importantly close to the Cafe de la Press where even a spoiled European can find the Cappuccino and specifically the Croissants very good.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Throughout multiple nights, including weekdays, there was loud music with a loud bass that made our room vibrate. This would go on until 1 or 2 am every night. We told the staff and they offered no solution. The rooms looked clean, but we think there might have been bed bugs since our skin started itching after our first night.

Great location, most of the staff seemed nice. Bed was nice but the shower was clogged and too gross to use. The spartan amenities would have been fine if I had been prepared but it was not clear from the listing. Won’t be returning or recommending.

It was great, although self check-in required assistance. Floors are slanted, elevator is old and slow, staff is polite. It's quirky and somewhat inconvenient, like being on vacation in a charming town without too many amenities. Fantastic location.
