What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Beautiful, classical hotel. The staff were very kind and friendly and speaking English well. But the location and parking was very tricky. My car was towed on the 31st of DEC ;( Except for it, everything was perfectly beautiful!”
“Hotel is a bit dated and rooms could do with upgrade. Breakfast is a good standard. Friendly and helpful staff. Good location in centre of town.”
“My sisters and I stayed at this hotel for a few nights. We came from California to visit the famous place of St. Thérèse (or Saint Thérèse). We enjoyed our stay very much. The staff treated us with kindness and were super helpful. They were not annoyed with our endless questions and requests. We liked their buffet spread. We highly recommend this hotel. Our thanks to all the staff.”
