"Fantastic location. The receptionist who checked us in couldn’t have been less friendly and the room smelt of drains if the bathroom door was left open. The AC was extreme so we couldn’t leave it on all night. My husband’s chair broke at breakfast (which was good with a wide choice of everything you would expect). Thankfully he was only bruised - the furniture in the restaurant was very cheap looking and obviously not the best quality."

Top 2nd Arrondissement Hotel Reviews

Residhotel Vieux Port

8/10 Good

"the room was clean and spacious but its big problem was the noise from the traffic outside. Motorbikes revving and cars repeatedly tooting until 2am in the morning every night. There are major traffic jams outside the room which causes the drivers to get very frustrated for long periods of time. And the traffic goes almost all night. Also the shower was half broken and also the shower door. which I didn’t complain about because i made do (and they had obviously attempted to fix it previously ) The staff were polite and friendly when I had contact I didn’t have the breakfast so I cant comment on that."
