The front staff was excellent. Unfortunately, the construction right outside my window was disruptive, though that may not have been the hotel's fault. Housekeeping hustled me out of the room right before checkout time which I found a bit not nice as I was already ready to leave and didn't need to be hurried out. (Additionally, the shower gel bottle was empty when I went to take a shower. I chose not to bring this to someone's attention as I had my own soap I could easily grab, but it's something the hotel could quality check should they want to after reading this review.) Great location!!

Quieter to sleep on the M3?

Stayed here many times over the last couple of decades. First time since it got sold by Mercure. Worst room I’ve ever had here. No air con in summer means sleeping with the window open but it looks out onto the noisy corner of a car park so you get endless noise from cars and the shouty owners. Bed rather hard but that might just be a personal preference thing. Bathroom incredibly tired - grouting is grim and rather perished, bath panel rattling in the breeze, etc. Not untypical for this hotel as it has been looking tired for years yet still no refit.

Our room was on the Cathedral side. We could not see the Cathedral because of the trees, but we enjoyed them and the green meadow, the calm, and the bells when we opened the window. The location was super for walking to the historical sites, museums, restaurants, grocery store, and the train station.
