The room was exactly as shown on the website. The shower was great. I had a studio suite. It was big enough for me (solo traveller). I stayed 6 nights. I had requested a fan and they provided me with one. The one thing that was lacking in the room, was that there is no microwave oven. So i had to eat out. Couldn't reheat any food. Overall my stay was very satisfactory. I didn't try their breakfast, I ate out But they provided coffee,tea and milk.

Very unique beautiful old hotel made up of several converted homes. We were in the Chateau Bauduc Suite which was very large with a very comfortable bed and a separate door that opened up to a beautiful courtyard. The service was excellent and the food was great. There is no air conditioning and our windows opened up to a public space so it was uncomfortably warm until the public space cleared out and we could open the door and all of the windows. The shower had trouble draining but not a huge issue. We had mixed feelings about this hotel but overall enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it in cooler weather.
