La chambre est propre, la réception, Albert et Jose are nice.
Would come back if given a discount :)
Location is fantastic - right on a vibrant street with lots of activity, pubs and so many really great restaurant options. The solid windows and blinds really kept it nice and quiet for sleeping.
Will def stay here again!!
The room was spotless and the linens fresh. 100% will stay here again. Sending Thanks to Albert, the host with the most!
Negatives:
- In case it's missed from other reviews, this is not an accessible hotel (no lift) and access to the hotel requires ascending a staircase and then access to rooms requires ascending another steep/narrow staircase which can be a challenge with luggage, and tiring after a long day of exploring the streets. We are generally fit so it wasn't a major problem.
- Continental breakfast is only offered on weekends. They do offer coupons for a nearby bagel place during the week, but we came for the patisseries and boulangeries so we only had bagels one day.
- Noise was expected due to it being a lively street with lots of foot traffic, and bars and restaurants open late into the evening, and it did get loud at night which can be quite festive (there was a drum band marching by one day - bring earplugs if you prefer quiet), but the jackhammers from the major construction site at the intersection nearest the hotel were most unpleasant and start at 8am promptly (June 2023). If you care to sleep past 8 I would stay elsewhere until the construction project is finished. This is not the hotel's fault, of course, but it should be known before booking.
True to form of the unfailingly polite Canadians, street noise ceases promptly with closure of restaurants so there aren't sounds of loud partying all night long.
If you're ok with hustle and bustle, fit enough for stairs and are looking for an off-the-beaten path stay that feels like renting someone's small flat instead of generic chain hotel lodging, I recommend Les Relais Lyonnais.
