Dear François, Thank you so much for your feed back. I am sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. A notice is posted at the reception informing you that cleaning is only done at the client's request. This message is also given verbally upon arrival. Without the client's permission, we do not enter the rooms because of the covid. Our teams are present 24 hours a day. All you have to do is come and see us. Have a nice day.

Although situated on a traffic road into the city, it was at walking distance and on the boarder of the river touching Bayone. Staff of the hotel was very helpful and friendly and a decent was provided. We only stayed one night traveling through France but enjoyed the old city and it's delicious food circuit.

As a sleeping stop, it's fine.
The three person room is very tight. So if you're staying for sleep only it's fine. They are short staffed when it comes to manning the bar and the front desk. While having a drink, I saw one guest wait for 10 minutes or more for an employee to show up. Parking lot is very small, so getting a spot in the secure area is no guarantee.

We slept in a sauna.
There was no A/C though it is still claimed on their website. The hotel claimed the room would be cooled by cold water in underfloor pipes. The room was a furnace. The hotel supplied a fan! Avery well appointed room, but ... Also, the restaurant is only open two days a week. Something else you are not told. Could or would not recommend a restaurant near by. So, a lovely hotel if you want to stay in a sauna.

Perfect overnight stop
Hotel was an ideal choice for an overnight stay on our way to southern Spain, easy to find from the motorway plus the added bonus of a secure car park ( 9 euros ) which was an essential with the car fully laden. Check in done by a very helpful lady whose English was far better than our atrocious French. Hotel very close to the town centre just a short walk over the bridge across the river. Very comfy bed ensures a much needed rest after a long days drive.

Stayed here for two nights. Walking distance from train station and city center. Safe area. The lobby is quite nice and trendy looking. Our room was recently renovated. The bed was ultra confortable in all white linens. The room is just big enough. You can tell that the furniture was design to maximize on space. The bathroom although small was immaculate looking with a nice spa shower.
