I'm writing this review at 2:30am on a Thursday morning. I'm sitting in my room in the Tournet, using the decent wireless internet service provided!

I've just been woken up by a couple of people in the next room who've obviously got back after a night in the town. They're not that rowdy, nor are they speaking particularly loudly but the walls are paper thin. Worse than that is the layout of this hotel. There is a lockable door on each floor (for which a key is provided) that leads into an ante-chamber/hallway, off which the rooms lie. Unfortunately the hallway floor is tiled and the ceilings are pretty high so when a key goes in a lock or a door is closed or someone speaks at normal volume, the echo effect is like that of a Victorian hopital or prison. I'm not a light sleeper but I defy anyone to sleep through the process of someone returning to the next room in this hotel.

Otherwise I really like this place. It has a nice feel to it and a rustic charm. The staff are very friendly and particularly helpful. The place is clean and located in a little backwater of the Jewish sector within easy reach of trams or a short walk to the centre. The beds are basic but comfortable. Tea/coffee making facilities and the free wireless connection are a credit to this place. Someone on another website made reference to the smell of air-freshner in the room. It's true that it's a little overpowering but you get used to it.

Overall, a great place to stay if you're prepared to live with the possibility of being woken up in the middle of the night!
