La Frégate

A lovely slightly quirky looking place that was perfectly positioned for everything we wanted to see and do. Super helpful and friendly staff, nice clean room and bathroom- bedroom not the biggest but it was fine for the two of us. Great views, we had double aspect windows with views. The breakfast was superb with lots of choice, a fresh good quality offering and plenty of it. Really good breakfast. We couldn’t decide between this one and another close by but having seen them both now, my instincts were right to go with this one. A great find!

Not something we didn’t like but just as a point of note, the lift can only take one person at a time and doesn’t run outside of reception hours. Understandable in the circumstances for all sorts of reasons but I just note it as someone a little compromised in terms of mobility (with stairs). I couldn’t avoid using them when we returned after being out for the evening and it was fine. A very small point as I say which did not impact our stay but just something to bear in mind if you are in the 4th or 5th floor and a little compromised in terms of mobility.

Great breakfast you can squeeze your own orange juice

The location is very convenient. The rooms are clean. The staff are helpful.

The elevator is not working. The corridor and stairwell lighting is not automatic.

The breakfast room was really nice, and there was a good variety of things to eat. The location is great, and an easy walk from the train station.

A check-in time of 4:00 pm (with no flexibility) is too late. 3:00 pm would be more reasonable. The noise from air conditioner was too loud. I mentioned this to the staff and they recommended that I set it to "silent mode" using the remote control. However, it still made an unpleasant noise, and it didn't keep the room cool enough at this setting. Leaving it on "normal" mode meant that earplugs were required in order to sleep. Also, the noise from other guests in the hall was loud, especially when they closed the room door. In short: the air conditioner was old and should be replaced. And the room doors should be replaced or fixed to make less noise when they are closed.
