The Loft room was very roomy with a comfy bed and lovely decor; however, for the size, 2 queen beds would have been a better fit. The hotel's history as a wool warehouse adds a unique touch to the building, although the staff, mostly European backpackers, lacked professional hospitality skills. The location was excellent, close to the city center with great dining options nearby. The dining experience was the best, offering high-level French products. The facilities were top-notch, maintaining a high level of offerings in very stylish surroundings.
