10/10 Excellent
"Well situated opposite the Gare (I stayed 7 nights and made many day trips by train). My room was on the 3rd floor and faced the Place de la Gare, but the double glazing meant that noise disturbance from traffic was minimal (but if you want a quiet room it may be best to ask for a room at the back facing the courtyard). I was pleased that the room had a desk. The bathroom was small but well designed. The staff (who all spoke good English) were friendly and helpful. I didn't have breakfast so can't comment on it. On my last day, I wanted to leave my luggage until the evening. This is done by using individual lockers in the receptiona area and I needed to insert 4 euros (2 x 2 euro coins) to use a large locker. It wasn't a lot of money and I didn't mind, but in more than 40 years of trevelling this is the first time a hotel has ever asked me to pay to leave my luggage for the rest of the day after checking out! But overall, the hotel was very good value."
