This hotel is absolutely perfectly located right in the heart of the mediaeval town. It is charming and friendly and clean. The parking is on the outside of the city walls but the hotel was great for sending a shuttle to look after the suitcases. I would highly recommend this hotel!

Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous venons et jusque la tout allait bien sauf que cette fois ci nous avons eu une chambre si sombre que l'on se serait cru dans une grotte, une chambre donnant dans une ruelle avec grille aux fenetres alors que sur le site on nous montre une jolie photo avec un acces à une terrasse, ce que nous avions eu les fois precedentes mais surement pas cette fois ci. D'autre part j'avais bien coché à la réservation "règlement sur place" quelle surprise de constater que la somme a été prélevée sur mon compte des mon arrivée alors que je souhaitais régler avec une autre carte bancaire : un peu cavalier ! Nous ne reviendrons plus !!!

Great hotel, friendly staff. Amazing location in the medieval city. We recommend using the hotel parking as they take your suitcases to the hotel. But the big problem that we stayed during a rock festival, (yes in the centre of a medieval city) with loud music playing until 1am on Friday night and 230am on Saturday night so we did not get much sleep.

Visitors need to understand that taking the city bus is a viable alternative for those without a car. Our taxi never arrived at the train station, so we walked. A memorable walk, but a little more gruelling than necessary.

Great hotel with amazing charm. Very clean and comfortable. Very helpful staff. Everything about the hotel was great. However what was difficult was finding the way into the old city itself. Directions we had were not at all helpful. We ended up getting rescued by someone who was one of the valet parkers who came across us in a no parking area looking lost.
