The air when I walked in the door to the hotel was icy cool and refreshing. The days were getting up to 30 and I was SO pleased I had lashed out on a room with airconditioning. When I got to the room I discovered that the much desired bath was not there. I requested a change, which they were very helpful about doing, although sadly it moved me on to the smoking floor. (though I must say that the old room smelt of cabbages!)
The rooms are well appointed, with simple and stylish furniture, and good firm beds. The bathrooms are decent, though the paint is just starting to peel (I think they were ripped off by the painter when they refurbished the hotel in 2002).
The bath was absolutely tiny. I couldn't straighten my legs however a soak is a soak, however cramped so I could forgive that. Oddly the bath itself was bigger, but it had been designed in such a way that the inner bath was much smaller... so they didn't save any space, but made it much less comfortable to sit in.
The big minus was that the airconditioning didn't work and my room stayed at a consistent 29 degrees (thats umm 84F) all night.
I felt that I had paid 100 euro for a room not much better than the one I had been in the night before for 65.
There is supposed to be free internet access, but the mouse was broken, and the keyboard not even a french one, with some whacky placement of letters which made typing anything a pain in the butt.
