I noted the boutique atmosphere, blending historical charm with updated comforts, plus benefits from the ALL - Accor Live Limitless program.

The hotel had a great location. It was easy to reach many places of interest. The staff was friendly. The room had a coffee machine with sufficient capsules.
My room was quite dark. It felt a bit small compared to other rooms in similar hotels. I noticed an electrical socket hanging off the wall in the corridor. It seemed a bit unsafe.
