The hotel offers a nice view overlooking the shops with clean and well-appointed rooms, although they are starting to show some signs of wear given the price. The service was warm and welcoming, especially from the concierge, while some staff seemed tired on arrival. The location is superb for exploring key attractions near the harbor, but it can be overpriced. The dining experience was fresh and ample, particularly at their crêperie.

This hotel offers a mix of positives like a central location with easy access to key attractions and lovely surroundings, but its smaller size may limit relaxation options.
