Le Phenix Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Front Desk staff were charming, kind and totally accommodating. I arrived an hour before check-in, but they discovered my room was ready and let me check in immediately! The room and bathroom were spotless. I enjoyed a wonderful bath in the extra-deep tub. I have rarely felt as relaxed and content as I do now, after my stay at the Hôtel Phénix!!!"
