Great Hotel for City People

This hotel is in the middle of the city center and there is a lot going on. If you need complete silence, this is not the hotel for you. My room was on the first floor and I could hear music from the bar until quite late, but it wasn’t anything earplugs or headphones couldn’t mask. The room is small (like 2 people would have been too many kind of small) but the bed was very comfortable and they fit a lot of amenities into a small space (kettle, coffee maker, safe, tv, work space with solid WiFi connection, etc.) Every staff person I interacted with was amazing, and the pub attached is great.
Abigail, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything is within walking distance and the hotel is very conveniently placed in the city
Leanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. Food was great. The only complaint would be no ac in hotel and it’s very loud being above the bars/restaurants. Bring your own shower cap, bar soap, shampoo/condition. Would stay again just in a back room not street side.
Yolanda, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property is unique as it is right on the main street of the Latin Quarter. Restaurants and pubs are steps from the door. The hotel staff are amazing- kind and thoughtful, ready to help as needed 24/7. They treated our group as treasured family. We love this hotel.
Kristina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is the best, right down in the historic quarter near Spanish Arch, where the buildings are hundreds of years old. You feel like you are walking the road of history. The staff was so friendly and helpful, so we stayed an extra day. The bed was the best we’ve had this trip, so we caught up on our sleep without taking extra time for it! I would definitely stay here again.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

Super location!!!! It was in the middle of restaurants, bars, shopping, train station, and all the attractions!!! We had a great time.

Conveniently located. Close to restaurants, pubs and shopping. Average room. After parking in the incredibly small Spanish arch car park, we opted to park several blocks away in a larger car park.
jodi, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Room was very clean and looked recently updated but very small. Staff was amazing. It was very loud late at night and early morning making it difficult to sleep well

Amazing location with parking

Hotel was a bit hard to find but once inside it had a fun, funky vibe. The room was clean but incredibly small and the toilet was not working properly. Parking is right next store and there is shopping and restaurants as soon as you walk out the door.
