What guests report

View
Courtyard-facing rooms quieter than street-side; best views from Superior rooms with balconies overlooking courtyard
Bed & mattress
Comfortable, high-quality bedding; some complaints about worn mattresses or soft beds on simple frames
Bathroom & water
Good water pressure and reliable hot water; some issues with broken fixtures, non-functional features, and limited counter space
Wi-Fi
Generally reliable but slow speed according to one review; speeds can frustrate browsing and message loading
Breakfast
High-quality with fresh local options; fairly priced at €10-17 but guests find nearby boulangeries better value
AC / heating
Only activated after June 1st seasonally; unreliable in rooms, some units reported broken or non-functional
Elevator
Unreliable

Local knowledge

Request a room facing the courtyard (cour) rather than the street to avoid traffic noise, garbage trucks, and early morning disturbances
Book a Superior room with a balcony for better views and quieter access away from main corridors
Breakfast is decent but overpriced at €10-17; skip it and grab pastries from nearby boulangeries within 5-minute walk
