8/10 Very good

Strange old hotel - interesting experience!
A weird experience to be honest. It literally feels like you are stepping back 100 years when you walk in..
Very odd, old scented smell throughout the whole place (not sure if it’s on purpose or hiding something) which was a bit overpowering.
Staff on reception, especially the girls, are really friendly and helpful.
Only had breakfast once, but it was not impressive - by the time I got there - circa 8:30am there was just scraps of food left with no sign of replenishment.
I ate twice at the restaurant on the roof. View is tremendous and food was decent at a reasonable price.
The resident old crooner they have singing is not to my taste… and perhaps suits the majority French residents more.
First meal, they brought my starter and hot main course out within just a few minutes of each other, while I was less than half way through the starter.
Second meal, I sat waiting for my desert at an empty table for 15 minutes until I chased.
I think I enjoyed the experience (though definitely weird).. The hotel is old and run down in places, but this adds to the quirky character.
I would stay again, but would prioritise the Cecil Hotel from what I have seen of them both.
