Was a pressure to stay here room was clean, good size bathroom, really comfy bed, in a good location, staff where friendly and well coming, there is alot of stairs so if you don't mind that I would recommend the stay, I will be staying here again for sure.
Great place to stay right in the middle of the experience with restaurants and shopping all close by. There was a market along the river the morning we woke up. The hotel was quiet clean and comfortable.

Staff were very nice and location perfect. Our room looked out at the theatre.
Premasis is showing its age and a little decorating would be a big plus.
Overall a good stay
Great location and very helpful and friendly staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable but the hotel is a little older so it has some character. There were two flights of stairs to get up to the reception desk, so if you have mobility issues this would be challenging. Overall we very much enjoyed our stay.
Great location, friendly & helpful staff, comfortable room, availability to purchase a delicious breakfast—we’d definitely stay here again. The only caveat is that there are a lot of stairs, so it’s more ideal for those who travel light.
Not sure why fhis hotel has 2*, we loved it - bug room, convenient, friendly, great value.
Would definitely stay again, Lyon was also great

A clean warm room in an ideal location at a budget price.
I am shocked how, given you cannot read anything about this hotel without knowing there is no lift, people still complain. The hotel is on the third floor, the steps are shallow and the friendly staff will carry your bags. We are in our 80s but the lack of a lift certainly didn’t spoil our stay We would go back
