Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while offering a serene view of the river Doubs and being quite comfortable, were on the smaller side. The service was top-notch with various convenient amenities available, but there were some minor drawbacks. The location was excellent for exploring the Old Town on foot, but some challenges with bollards and parking were noted. The dining fell short of expectations, except for the sushi options. Despite some limitations, the hotel provided a pleasant stay at a fair value.
