Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a great location, making it easy to walk to key attractions, shops, and restaurants. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly, accommodating our room change request without any fuss. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired – they were shabby and accessed via a narrow staircase, which wasn't ideal. Overall, it was decent for the value, but the room quality needs improvement.
I had a decent stay at the hotel with a prime location for exploring the area. The rooms were a bit small but had a lovely, clean bathroom. The staff was extremely helpful and welcoming, though dining could use some improvement. Overall, it was good value for money considering the convenience of the location.
The hotel has a lovely location with a glass roof that makes it feel bright and welcoming. The rooms are on the smaller side but very clean, although I found the corridors to be a bit dark and hot. Service was friendly, and parking was convenient nearby. However, the dining options were somewhat limited and a bit pricey for what you get.
The hotel has a great location, just a short walk from the station and right in the pedestrianized area, making it easy to explore. The rooms are small but clean and have nice decor, though the place could use some updating. The service was incredibly friendly and helpful, making my stay enjoyable. However, the dining options were quite average, and the hotel overall felt a bit tired.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Amiens and close to the Cathedral, which made exploring the city easy. However, the room was quite small and lacked proper ventilation in the bathroom, making for a bit of discomfort. The staff were friendly and helpful when it came to directions and local tips, but the dining experience was only average.
