Hotel François 1er Cœur de Ville

Hotel François 1er Cœur de Ville

8/10 Good
"The room was large and the bed comfortable. Good size bathroom. A fan was provided as no air-conditioning. The only downside was the window did not open and had a closed shutter on the outside. Not too much of a problem as only slept there but initially it felt a little claustrophobic. Great location. Would stay there again but only in a room with a window you could see out of and opened."

Hôtel Atlantic

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was simple and delicious. We loved the close and easy access to the Old Port Quai and the old town. Tiny rooms, smaller than I expected given the info on Expedia, but the bed is comfy, the shower is good and being close to the restaurants and the Old Port was a definite plus!"

"Excellent hotel and location, but desperately needs air conditioning installation in the bedroom. Temperature was only mid twenties but too hot at night even with a fan in the room."
