FRANCOIS

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Not boutique! Hazardous metal staircase to the bed platform and bathroom on the lower level (a major safety concern) A one man front desk operation and a dishonest owner who after promising to refund 5 nights out of 6 declined to refund anything the next day. Shameful. They wanted me to sleep on the tiny couch at lower level with just a pillow and a blanket. I don't think this place would pass the rating of a youth hostel. I went to sleep somewhere else and so should you.
Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025
