Hotel des Arts is only 2 Star but it is quite stylish, clean and reasonably priced. The location is very good and central, importantly close to the Cafe de la Press where even a spoiled European can find the Cappuccino and specifically the Croissants very good.

Overall it was a good stay. The house keeping service was great, clean room.
Great location, most of the staff seemed nice. Bed was nice but the shower was clogged and too gross to use. The spartan amenities would have been fine if I had been prepared but it was not clear from the listing. Won’t be returning or recommending.
It was great, although self check-in required assistance. Floors are slanted, elevator is old and slow, staff is polite. It's quirky and somewhat inconvenient, like being on vacation in a charming town without too many amenities. Fantastic location.

Hotel concept is cute. Good location. Loved the check in process.
However, guy at front desk was rude and condescending when I was having difficulty with the code for the front door and COCKROACHES!!!
