The hotel's location is superb, near an excellent restaurant and convenient to the metro station and bus stop. The rooms on the top floor with a good shower, balcony, and renovated bath were perfect for our needs. The dining experience with included fresh French patisseries was delightful. However, the pricing might not offer the best value for money, and the facilities could be improved.
