I was thinking 4 stars because this isn't a resort hotel with lots of amenities, but this property exactly filled our needs with no negatives. So, 5 stars it is.
We wanted proximity to Hbf: got it - cross the street and you're there! We wanted a fairly low price: got it and booking far in advance helped. We wanted an included breakfast: got it and the buffet was exceptional. Even the gluten free traveller was satisfied and the coffee maker made good rich coffee which while strong, was not bitter or Starbucks burnt.
The lobby and room are very old fashioned so if you're looking for an Ikea vibe, this isn't the place for you. Our room was large and the bathroom was nicely remodeled and spotless.
Back to location: we walked to the church with Chagall windows and then to the cathedral and then back to the hotel. We're not young but we found walking to be easy, safe, and pleasant. read more
