Hôtel de la Cité

We stayed in a sea view studio. We got held up and didn't check in until after dark (and had to leave early in the morning) so sadly didn't see the view, but I could just make out that it was over the top of the fortification wall which is normal for Intra Muros. Check in was at a sister hotel the Chateaubriand as there were not many guests and reception was closed but was only 50m away so not a problem. The studio is very cleverly designed so that there is a thin partitioned bit behind the bed with a breakfast bar and stools (good to work from if needed) and a small kitchen. Very happy and hope to stay there again. What would make it even better would be to add an armchair so that 2 people can sit down (there is room in the niche between the window and kitchen area), bedside tables (with storage) and a corkscrew and teatowel. But would happily stay there for a few days as very convenient.

We had city view. Reception welcoming. Comfortable room and bed. Breakfast was held on 1st floor , large room brightly decorated, tablecloths, all beautifully laid out. Large selection of hot and cold breakfast food. Would most definitely stay there again.

Nice hotel, reception staff very helpful eg in booking restaurants, good breakfasts, room had good sea view as advertised. Only problem was that the in-room safe did not work and as far as we know noone did anything about this when we reported this.
