I had to change my hotel because the first place I booked was really bad. I was so lucky to find this very cute place. The room was very cute and calm. It had an elevator and an ac. The staff working there was very nice and forthcoming. I could even check-in a earlier, after making an inquiry because I hadn't slept that much and had a match in the afternoon. The breakfast was really good as well. ...

We really liked this hotel. Central and quiet location, spacious room with large bed, clean with good shower room.

Highly recommended. Also they are part of the petite cantine initiative to support isol...

Conveniently located between 2 subway stops. Rooms quiet, clean. Staff friendly. Liked the fact that the weekday breakfast starts at 6am as I'm an early riser, but on both days the server didn't have it set up on time with the 2nd day being a half hour late.

Overall the hotel is nice. My room was very small but comfortable and the place is charming. The location is also quite good. My one big complaint was that there are apartments not affiliated with the hotel on the top floor of the building and the people in the apartment immediately above my room have a dog that barked for hours into the night, making a huge racket until well after midnight.
