it is not a hotel
Great location!In the heart of the city next to Citadelle and surrounded by lots of shops and restaurants.Also a good and quiet accommodation and neighbours.
No bathroom door but instead a curtain! I cannot understand the logic behind not having a bathroom door but it was a stay for 3 days so we found a way around it.
Great location, clean, quite and very comfortable bed.
I was under the impression that this was a hotel, it’s definitely not. Super steep stair case on the way to the room, and the room is basic at best. Overpriced for what it is. Wouldn’t stay here again.
It is in an classic old section of the city, right across the street from the fort at the harbor entrance. It's on what us Americans call the 4th floor, so if you have much luggage be ready to lug. There's no elevator. The views out the windows aren't anything to write home about, but once you're in it is pis-andspan clean and well appointed.
Zero refundable! A flight cancellation resulted in me paying for days I wasn't there. Beware!
Comfortable room and great location.
We did not encounter any staff and there were not any of the usual facilities of a hotel. It was just a room on a landing and we saw no other people throughout our stay. No reception/ staff, restaurant not open for breakfast or on Christmas or New Year's Day. Part of the reason that we chose a 'hotel' was that we thought that there would be meals available (although we understood that no meals were included) so that we would definitely ger breakfast and dinner on those festive days. There was nowhere else available to get breakfast on those days which wasn't great. The 'coffee maker' was a kettle and instant coffee? Poor.
Location
No direct staff contact. Bathroom was quirky and not easy to use. Steep stairs to enter
great location, very near everything, museums, restaurants, friendly owner, comfortable bed- if travelling light, on your own, with no car would be okay.
4 things, no toilet door just a curtain, we as a couple for more than 25 years still felt uncomfortable, at night room noisy as right above restaurant, very long steep staircase, and as we had luggage for an extended trip it was a difficult climb. But our real issue was the street parking, there really was no parking for miles as arrived on a busy Saturday and even when we left on a quiet Sunday morning we only saw a very few spaces within walking distance. We ended up parking at a car park (paid) out of the centre and dropped our bags with me waiting on my own ( no luggage storage) until my husband walked back to join me.
The location is ideal - right in the city center where all the best restaurants are and a few blocks from the harbor. It was exactly what we were looking for. The place was quiet and very clean. The host communicated very clearly with us and we felt very welcomed.
Beware of very steep stairs leading to the rooms (one level only). We were travelling with a few large suitcases so it was a bit challenging.
It was clean with a nice location. We arrivered late (7:30 pm) but the host sent information on how to get in to the room beforehand
There was no door to the bathroom, just a sheet, and the bed was very hard.
right smack in the middle of old town, good AC, a bit tricky to get to by car but that was taken into account for. Would definitely stay here again, crystal clear instructions were texted to my phone.
It is good for people to know about steep stairs and lack of possibility to stop in the street outside but we knew about this already.
Excellent air conditioning, located in a great street with a fun vibe, super close to walk to beaches and restaurants. Long stairs to get up but the room was at the back of the building so we did not hear a thing at night.
Door to bathroom? But not necessary.
Great location in the old town center. Old building with modern apartments. The facility has a good restaurant outside of the building, so you can have lunch or dinner there. The room is big enough. Good bed and shower, good internet.
No door on the bathroom.
Bed, cleanliness, location.
Major black mark was no door on the ensuite bathroon/wc, just a curtainSecondly the toilet flush was extremely temperamental.Lastly the stairs: quite formidable. We coped but in a couple of years time(we are in our seventies)we wouldn't probably. And we were only on the 1st floor!
The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable--impressively renovated for an older building. There was no sense of "old" in the room. The location was great--just around the corner from Napoleon's birthplace/museum, and close to lots of bars and restaurants. It is a little complicated to find, but ask at the bar with the same name and they will direct you to the entrance.
The biggest negative: a long, and somewhat steep, set of stairs to reach the landing where the room is located and no elevator to help you. Not recommended if you have heavy luggage as there will be nobody at the site to help. You will also have to walk 15 minutes or so from the bus station/train station/ferry port to get to the accommodation--not a deal breaker, but be aware of it.
Good location. Uncomplicated access with a code.
No Balcony or Terrasse was there, like shown on the Booking.com profile. The bathroom was not perfectly clean.
Great location close to everything, 5 minutes walk to St Francois beach. Management very nice and helpful. Comfortable beds and nice shower. I didn't eat there but the restaurant was always busy.
No bathroom door, just a curtain. A long flight of stairs to get to the room. However a kind staff member carried the suitcase up and down for me.
Location and swift check in
I think someone recently smoked in the room and the room wasn’t very clean.
