Hôtel de l'Abeille

A well located hotel near the old town Pretty decent hotel for a short stay (ours was just one night). Very well located for both the old town and the railway station (both of which maybe 250-300m away). Thus ideal for a short break. The downside of our room was the 4-5 flights of steps to it in the loft, though we were warned about this a good 3 weeks prior to out stay. There are no lifts that we saw in the hotel. Not ideal if you are mobility inclined. Possibly because of it being a loft room, the TV reception was pretty poor. Another downside of the loft room was that the shower was only 2 feet from the floor. Probably not the case in the other rooms. On the pus side, our room was very large though you could not fully stand everywhere in the room because of the angles of the ceilings. The staff in reception were pretty friendly and very helpful in terms of letting us know good places to eat etc. Breakfast was okay, but probably not worth the money considering the number of cafes, where we could have got equal options at a cheaper price. The place was clean and tidy and well presented with lots of historic pictures and ornaments. I would stay gain at the price charged, on the basis that the staff were nice and it was well located.

Our room was two floors up a very steep and narrow set of stairs (there is no elevator to transport people or luggage). Parking is inconvenient and who ever heard of a requirement to turn the room key back to the staff each time one leaves the property? Just didn't feel safe.

Charming! with pros and cons This is the most charming boutique hotel. The location is excellent! The room was spacious enough however I do not care for automatic lights going on in the bathroom. I like to control the lights myself, and not be blinded. The big con is that there is no lift so be prepared to carry your suitcases up the classic narrow staircase. Nice breakfast. Parking is difficult.

I love everything about this hotel. It’s warm, welcoming and the staff is excellent. The view of the boulevard is spectacular and the location in general is great.

We loved our recent stay at the Hotel de l'Abeille. Great location on pedestrian corridor with shopping, restaurants, and nearby cultural attractions. Found parking easily nearby. The front desk person was one of the nicest and most helpful we have experienced in a hotel in a long while. Room was nice and comfortable. Very nice rooftop patio. Only drawbacks were having to climb stairs with suitcases, and the room toilet was difficult for tall people. But a very nice, charming hotel, and we would certainly stay there again.

Wonderful staff! Lovely and walkable. Enjoyed our stay!
