We had a lovely stay at Hotel Louis Blanc! The hotel is suited just really a 2min walk from the metro. Couldn’t get any more convenient really. It doesn’t take too long to get into the central touristy area, even with transfers. And taking a taxi is not too far either. Would not recommend doing the metros with luggages though, the stations don’t have lifts and lots of stairs to get by.
The hotel is on a corner and might seem small, it’s true to the photos you see. However, it’s a very good stay for a 3 star establishment. And for the price, you get much better quality than some other places. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Even going the extra mile to lend a travel adaptor when we urgently needed one for the night. Mind you, other hotels just helpfully guided us to where to buy one. The room was nice and cosy, and most importantly clean. No gimmicks here, you get what you see in the photos.
The street that the hotel is on is very busy! There are a couple of local fruit stores you should certainly drop by. And quite a lot of food within walking distance if you need a bit. I would say this area seems much more local than touristy which is kind of nice.
In summary, very value for money 3 star hotel. Nice and cosy room. Staff are nice and friendly. Would stay again!
