The Hotel la Residence is a lovely small hotel near (but not very close to) the City center, in which I have stayed twice during the past 2 years, and where I will stay again this fall (I just made my reservation).
The hotel is the type of family run hotel (actually, I do not know if it really is family run, but it has this feel) and very charming. The breakfast is lovely, and prepared with care. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a bit on the small side, but very clean and well appointed.
While I was very happy with all aspects of the hotel and the services provided, one should be clear about what this hotel is not. It is not a big or chain hotel; so, if having fitness facilities or a large breakfast buffet with a wide selection is very important to you, then this hotel is bound to disappoint you. Also, the location is good, but not perfect, set in more residential surroundings, so that it takes an about 15 minutes walk to get to the restaurant, bar or sightseeing part of town. On the other hand, a city tram station is only half a block from the hotel (2 minutes walk), which will get you to all the city attractions.
The hotel is a very good value for your money. It is an excellent choice to stay for a few days or business travel.
