PAUL & PIA By Stay Collection - Welcome Home Hotel

Super hôtel très agréable, confortable et bien situé. Personnel très agréable et petit-dejeuner varié et délicieux. On se sent comme à la maison !

This is a friendly, if quirky hotel. Everything is modern, clean and well maintained, though furnishings are fairly basic. Our fellow guests seemed to be mostly of a more mature age group, quite a few were cyclists, which the hotel caters for very well. All in all, it felt a little bit like a kind of upmarket hostel for middle aged people. Breakfast is pretty varied and generous and there is complementary tea and coffee available 24/7 and other drinks and snacks can be purchased. The location is a 10 minute walk from the railway station and a 10-15 minute walk to the lovely, historic town centre. It feels pretty safe.

When booking, you can choose the category of room but the hotel states that all rooms are different. I can only speak for our double room, which was on the top, 4th floor, built into the sloping roof. Frankly, it was too small to be a double. On one side of the bed, you couldn’t get out of bed or to the bathroom without bending over to avoid a very low, angled beam. On the other side, you had to duck to avoid hitting your head on the wall-mounted TV. The bathroom was extremely compact, even for relatively slim people. The lighting in the room was inadequate, such as lamp shades hand-woven by Peruvian craftspeople - or some such. The roof mounted windows didn’t appear to allow you to have them open whilst maintaining a light black out, so we relied on the inadequate and overly noisy air conditioning. As I say, it may have just been our particular room. The self-service breakfast serving and sitting area is too crowded with furniture and guests were constantly getting in each other’s way. I hate to sound overly critical because I like what the hotel is trying to do, but it needs to think through some of the practicalities. And for over €200 for a double room, even with breakfast included, it brings the value into question.

Cosy one night stay

Breakfast more varieties will be better

Location was terrific.

This very much felt like a budget hotel. Breakfast was ok, room was basic and on the smaller side. Shower leaked onto the floor, toilet paper was like cardboard.
