Phil
This hotel is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of a charming town. The location is perfect, being close to the town center and right next to the beautiful Gothic cathedral. It's also conveniently located near the A8 autoroute, making it easily accessible for travelers.
No aspect stands out as needing improvement.

This hotel is a hidden gem in a beautiful setting. The history of the place gives it a unique ambiance that adds to the overall experience. The rooms are comfortable and the attention to detail, like the quality sheets and toiletries, is evident. The courtyard is a great spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and take in the serene surroundings. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located near some fantastic restaurants, both down the road and in the town, providing plenty of dining options.
All was good, nothing to complain about.

The hotel is beatiful, romantic, with very good service. It is a great get away for a night.
The room was not really clean (it had a funny smell) and the lack of shower curtains (as complained by other guests) is really a problem.

The environment is unique and very relaxing. Good balance price value. Staff very helpful, always friendly and took care on my cats as if they were theirs:). Excellent food and surprising high quality service in the restaurant in the evening and even at breakfast.
Would benefit from having shelves in the shower to be able to deposit soap and other accessories. Had to put the soap and shampoo on the floor during showering.

Spent Christmas at an old convent hotel with a stunning renovation job. The location was great, with easy access to nearby attractions and shopping areas. The staff was friendly, and the room was clean and comfortable with two nice amenities: a well-functioning air conditioner and a working TV with a variety of channels. Not to mention, the Christmas decorations were lovely.
The Christmas dinner promised on the website was never offered, and the restaurant was closed on Christmas Day. It was difficult to find another place around to eat.

The location of this hotel is absolutely mind-blowing! The inside gardens are super beautiful and the bistro is a GREAT place to relax. The staff is incredibly helpful and kind, and the atmosphere is jaw-dropping. The rooms are nice and the free Wi-Fi works well. The hotel is in the center of town, with cafes, restaurants, and shops just minutes away. it's a special and unique getaway that is definitely worth a visit.

Our one night was enjoyable. The staff were very helpful. The setting was fantastic. Our room was just fine even though we had to squeeze our son onto a camp bed. Breakfast in the cloister was wonderful.

It is 13th century's building. Restaurant is great, definitely value for money. Breakfast is good and convenient. Staff is very helpful. It is clean and quite.
Room is rather small, for couple is good, but not family. The price original price is rather expensive, but for the discounted price, value for money is good. Not very good in July, since there is no air-co. There is free parking near by the hotel, so not necessary to pay 10 EUR per night for parking on site

We loved the spacious room with a large comfortable bed and separate living area. The breakfast was tasty and the hotel's location was perfect for exploring this charming village on foot. Additionally, the private car park was very convenient for our transportation needs.
Everything was spot on.

Hotel used to be a monastery and is very well kept. Rooms are small but full of character, the breakfast is just great and very well worth the money. Great restaurant for a romantic dinner, great food and friendly waiters.
Even a "superior" room is pretty small and they seem to charge for everything. Wi-fi and parking could be free of charge in my opinion. In the restaurant we explicitly ordered a small bottle of wine (0,5l) but got and payed a 0,75. For a reduced (lastminute) room price it is a fine hotel, but the regular price is quite expensive.

The receptionist was very friendly and the bar was open until later to accommodate people arriving late. It is a really special place (convent next to abbey) and a once in a lifetime experience.
The hallways were really noisy when people left their rooms. There was also a concert till midnight in the park directly across from the hotel. The noise levels in the rooms were high and made it impossible to sleep. The windows are not double-glazed/sound-proof; my door had a huge gap below the door that made the room noisy as well. The bathrooms - even though smart - are really tiny. The rooms don't have air conditioning either and in the hotter weather it gets hot in the rooms and makes sleeping more difficult. Stay in this hotel if you want to see the architecture and how beautifully the convent has been restored, but not if you want aircon rooms and quiet when going to bed.
