Good location right next to the old town

Chose this hotel for its location right next to the old town, and for the secure on-site parking. Room was comfortable though nothing special. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and it kept me going all through the day. Friendly and helpful staff.

I had dinner in the bistro restaurant. Unlike the breakfast I didn't think it was great. Only one vegetarian option. Parking was good but instructions as to what to do on arrival would have been handy. You need the code to open the barrier, but you only get the code when you check-in. There is not much space to pull up outside the hotel whilst you do that, and due to the one-way system you then need to make a loop around the block to reach the parking entrance again. Which I messed up on (my own fault) but clearer instructions would have helped.

7.0 / 10.0

Excellently situated with walking distance to the old medieval town centre, close to restaurants

I liked - helpful and friendly staff - pretty clean, though outdated - situated just across the bridge from the old town - parking close by

This could have been better - breakfast in the morning were there, but it was not filled up regularly, so some things were missing - I personally dislike carpets in the rooms - it could do with a renovation

5.0 / 10.0

Kind of bad but not outright terrible

Location is great, directly at one of the bridges into the city center. Easy to get there by car and parking in the garage of the hotel is fine. The lobby is fine and the people who worked the reception were really nice and helpful. Cleaning staff was also polite and one of them had a good sense of humour. Room was very narrow and basic (as expected) but clean, everywhere where it mattered.

Breakfast is western style with some french elements mixed in. Sadly the quality is mediocre at best and outright terrible for some stuff (scrambled eggs looked like something they would mix up in a dystopian movie to feed the masses or survive on some lost space ship). Tables at breakfast were not clean and the terrace outside looked like it had not seen a brush and some rinsing for the whole season. There was one working coffee machine and it is slow. If there are more than five people trying to get some Joe it easily takes 10 minutes. Did I already mention that you pay 12 something € for that? We were there on a Sunday, during a time when all the French people went on vacation, so we did not really have a choice. There is no lift from the parking garage. This is ok because I think it says so in the description. But you have to pass two firedoors that have a trash can in between and the whole place smelled like something died in there. Then you enter a staircase and after that there is another door. Really hard to navigate with big luggage, impossible for strollers, wheelchairs etc. There was no toilet brush in our room. Maybe that was an accident? You should really be intimate with the people you bring there to be able to not clean up behind you. Maybe some people are into this kind of thing? Overall a very mixed experience, especially since I had a lot better in other ibis hotels.

Lovely comfortable room, with a great shower!

We’re used to English hotels where you have tea and coffee making facilities, so it was a shame we didn’t have that.

Pleasant

- Good location just across the river from the center; - Big room with lots of furniture, kettle and Nespresso machine.

- Staff is barely helpful at all, I had to wait until 22:45, because they said they cannot leave their duty until there is shift, but on time I had to wait 20 minutes more at the reception only to get additional sheet with blanket; - Breakfast is poor and place is overcrowded, yet only with one coffee machine.

9.0 / 10.0

Great location by the river on the edge of the city centre. Interesting architecture of the hotel.

Large comfortable rooms with spacious bathrooms. Silence and Peace. Comfortable bed. Pleasant and friendly staff. We had a very good rest.

Underground parking is available for a fee of EUR 10. You can get into it only after Check-in, where you will receive a code for entering. Before that, it is necessary to look for a parking space on the street.

Very good place for a short stay

Location, location, location! Secure parking for motorcycle. Ok for a night or two but a bit small for anything longer.

Nothing specific.
