Although the rooms were clean and the staff friendly enough, I found it to be extremely overpriced for the facilities and location. 65 euros for a small bedroom, breakfast not included; is ridiculous considering that the rooms have no charm, no views, and aren't exactly convenient.

The rooms are simple but have a French charm about them most American hotels lack: cute bedspreads, rustic furniture,... More
