Résidence de l'Ours

It's an okay place in town, and being close to my office was the main thing I needed. The room was cleaned every day, which was nice, but once it seemed the cleaner left without locking the door. I'd keep valuables in the safe. There's also a faint pizzeria smell, which makes sense since one is downstairs. It's not a bad review. I'll probably stay again. It is what it is.

The rooms get really hot, and opening the window is the only way we found to cool them down. There was plenty of hot water, though the shower taps were placed oddly enough that opening the door the wrong way could switch them on. The room was clean and fine for a night or two. The location in Ours is good, with restaurants nearby, and Saturday night wasn't especially noisy. We didn't eat at the restaurant, though it looked all right. Even during the stated desk hours, it could be hit or miss finding someone there.

We got a free bus and metro pass, and the location made it easy to get around. The metro and a bus stop are right across the street. The room and shower were small, but the restaurant was closing and still let us order a ham pizza. It was delicious, and he even offered me a Grappa!

The rooms are basic but decent, and the service was friendly. Our booking included a free public transport pass, which came in handy, especially with the underground station right beside the hotel. The one real letdown was parking: we had reserved a space with the room, but none was available. They said it was first come, first served, which wasn't what we'd been told when booking.
