Quiet clean and budget
Liked: The location is directly across the street fromThe train station so only 3-4 minutes and it’s completely secure safe and also comfortable. You need to make sure you contact the staff on your actual checkin time because it’s not from desk staffed 24 hours. But the room is super comfortable and clean.. yes it needs some updating but the room is quiet and comfortable. The staff is friendly and polite and very understanding of different needs. Just be aware that all rooms require stairs to access so if you got a lot of luggage or have some limited mobility there might be issues for you. I had no trouble with all my big luggage and being a train traveler with stairs platforms and escalators I’m sure you can handle any stairs with your luggage no problem so will this place . It was th event shower so far I have stayed
Disliked: If you are running late past like 8pm make sure you notify the front desk

Good location, but not a...
Liked: The hotel is very conveniently located right across the road from the railway station, so it's very convenient for catching an early train like I did. The room was clean, the street not too noisy, and the price was very affordable.
Disliked: Because it was a long weekend, the restaurant didn't open; so no breakfast, nor did the owner / manager provide any alternatives for breakfast. For the same reason, I suppose, there was no housekeeping for the day that I stayed there. The room is pretty basic, without even a tea / coffee station, which was doubly inconvenient with the closure of the hotel restaurant without prior warning. Had I known that the restaurant and breakfast service would be closed for the duration of my stay, I would have factored it into my planning; it's just an unpleasant surprise when you're checking in. Also, I don't speak French, but the instructions on what to do at check-in was taped on the locked hotel door (reception wasn't open) and it was only written in French. Because I don't have a local sim card, I had to make an international roaming call to call the owner / manager to unlock the door for me to check in. It's a minor detail, I know, but it immediately creates a feeling that I'm not really welcome in the hotel, and that the owner would really have preferred if I didn't bother them on their long weekend. My recommendation would be the corporate chain budget hotel down the road; I'm sure they didn't cut down on service and hospitality because of the long weekend.
