This hotel is a hidden gem in the Gothic Quarter. The rooms are spacious with a lovely terrace offering a view of the historic district, and with comfortable beds and a large bathroom. The service was top-notch with exceptional room service available at all times. The location is fantastic, easy to reach from the airport and close to many tourist attractions in the Gothic Quarter. The dining experience, with its home-grown products, was a delightful touch. On the downside, the overly touristy area could get busy. The facilities were modern and well-kept, providing excellent value for money.
