Super hotel located in the city center near Place Massena. Excellent service and very friendly staff. Central area with many restaurants and bars. Also very close to the Metro station with which you can quickly reach the airport. I recommend this hotel and hope to return.

No frills but clean and comfortable. Good location for the Promenade, old town and transport links.
If you like a premier Inn then this would be right up your street
