Very well located. Fantastic staff. Great pillows, the rest is just okay. If basic is your budget, this is a good choice.

Hôtel Belaroïa
The hotel is very well situated, right in front of the train station. They have parking at €25 per might, but you need to reserve as they have very few spots. The room was fine, clean, but there was some kind of not very clean smell. But overall fine.
