What guests report

View

Courtyard and garden-facing rooms offer serene views and quiet; street-facing rooms experience early morning noise from garbage trucks and traffic

Bed & mattress

Extremely comfortable luxury bedding and high-quality mattresses praised frequently, though some guests found pillows too soft

Bathroom & water

Stunning modern bathrooms with excellent water pressure and hot water, but bathtub has notably high step; layout with separated toilet room can be awkward

Wi-Fi

Complimentary wifi mentioned as available; speed/reliability not extensively discussed

Breakfast

Outstanding quality buffet with fresh pastries, local cheeses, fruits, and meats served until 11am; described as superior to Ritz by multiple guests; worth the cost

AC / heating

Air conditioning unreliable in some rooms; system mentioned as non-functional or inadequate during warm weather

Local knowledge

Request a room overlooking the courtyard or garden rather than the street to avoid early morning garbage truck noise and traffic sounds.

Book the Spa Guerlain treatments in advance; spa staff may be understaffed and appointments fill quickly during peak seasons.

Arrive early if possible—staff can often accommodate room access before standard check-in time while preparing your room.
