Liked the location in a quiet section of Town. The staff were very friendly and know their duties. The room was well decorated and great-sized with bedroom and champagne, as for instance, the check-in was friendly...

Plenty of character with beautiful art on display. Parking tight, and walls a bit thin, so I heard neighbors. Cozy atmosphere with comfy beds. Short walk to great local eateries.

would definitely go back
Located in a quiet neighborhood, but a max 30-minute walk to everything fun. The standard king room was super spacious with comfortable bedding and fresh linens. Loved the modern decor and the split heating system, no noisy fan. They even had healthy instant coffee! Tons of nearby restaurant info provided too!

I enjoyed grabbing coffee from a shop run by Jocelyne Kamikazi, where the coffee is sourced directly from Burundi. The large windows in my room let in natural light. I also appreciated how convenient it was to explore nearby bakeries and bars without needing to drive anywhere.
The parking situation was tight, and I found some noise coming from neighboring rooms. I would have liked more privacy at night.

We had a nice family stay with my boyfriend! The nearby stadium added excitement, with local teams playing. The cozy beds felt luxurious after busy days, and the staff was always eager to assist us with our needs.
In my kids' opinion, more storage space would be great.
