Stayed in the annexe. Dingy decor.Suspect walls had not been painted for a long time. Wall light fitting hanging loose. Very noisy early mornings with deliveries, roadsweeper from 6 am onwards. Poor lighting on staircase and worst of all no sign to indicate how to open the main door to the street.
Breakfast not really adequate for a walking group.
The main brochure gives a glowing description of the hotel and conveniently does not mention the annexe!

Hotel very central. Good points are clean facilities, excellent meals in evening, friendly staff, close to shops & Post Office. Bad points are basic breakfast, Annexe very little sound deafing therefore can clearly hear conversations in adjacent rooms plus noise from early delivery vans and road sweepers. Advise ear plugs. Badly lit dark entrance in Annexe, dark stairwell plus no lift.

Loved the location. Fabulous art collection. Barely adequate bathroom. Worth putting up with bathroom for location and view. I stayed in the building next to the restaurant/bar. I don't know about the annex on Rue de Republique. Air conditioner – red light is on, not off.

Don't even think about it in winter. It was two degrees outside, but considerably colder i the rooms. The two extra blankets in the wardrobe would do nothing against these temperatures, we regretted not bringing our extreme weather sleeping bags. We asked for extra blankets but were told there were no more than the ones already in the room. I slept with all my woollen underwear and jumpers on.

A shame, because it could probably have ben a nice place. It's just difficult to appreciate when your teeth are ratling and your body shaking.
