    Very stylish, good value for money, Michelin restaurant is superb (for breakfast and a spectacular dinner)
  • Albert

    This small boutique hotel has a Michelin-starred restaurant - food, including breakfast, is of high order. We had the small upper floor rooms which were good value but nothing special. The more expensive rooms are obviously well-appointed.
