Hôtel De La Loge

The hotel is in a side street in the most convenient location. Literally everything is within walking distance - places to see, restaurants, cafes, shops, even the tourism office. Honestly you can’t ask for a better location. We found the reception staff very helpful and friendly - especially the young lady who worked both evenings. It was a little off-putting to find out that reception closed at 8:00 pm - as it’s a hotel I would have thought there would be someone on property 24 hours but luckily we had no issues during our stay and did not need assistance on either night. The property is not modern but it was clean and comfortable. We did not have the continental breakfast offered as there are many cafes and restaurants steps away. We were a party of three and on check in I found the bedroom and bathroom to be basic but I was pleasantly surprised that it was spacious (by European standards) and overlooked the street. There was always something interesting to look at. So if you are looking for a reasonable room in a fabulous location, then consider Hotel De La Loge. Don’t expect bells and whistles and you will not be disappointed.

Unfortunately this hotel did not live up to expectations. The best thing about it was the location. The staircase and courtyard garden are pretty and the room was clean and a good size. That's where the positives end. My room was depressingly grey - carpet, curtains, feature wall, cushions - not at all bright or welcoming like the rooms advertised. The bath was very narrow and slippery, making it difficult and dangerous to turn around under the shower. The toilet was so close to the wall that anyone over about 170cm would need to sit on a sideways angle or press their knees into the wall. There are potential privacy issues for rooms facing each other across the garden. I was also surprised by a man suddenly appearing outside my window to water pot plants. There is an elevator but reaching most rooms seemed to require negotiating additional stairs. There is no fridge. There was coffee and sugar in my room but no tea bags or long life milk. The TV remote was well past its use-by date and difficult to use. However, that was irrelevant as fluent French or Spanish was required in order to watch anything. I think there may also have been one German channel but certainly no English language options. Watching TV is not a priority when I travel but it can be relaxing at the end of a busy day. Disappointing and not the right choice for me.
