"Ideally placed on the Gothic Quarter. Lots of lovely restaurants within easy walking distance. Rooftop terrace was a bonus. The room was very clean and had everything we needed for the four nights we stayed. My only criticism would be that the wardrobe was too 'short' so hanging space for dresses was limited. We had to hang items on the outside of the wardrobe. A hook inside the shower, for your towel, would also be helpful. "
