This obliging, 18-room hotel sits behind a brick-and-stone facade that suggests a sedate town house. Yet you enter to a stylish bar backed by an expansive industrial-chic restaurant with an open kitchen and exposed metal vents in what was once a tram-repair works. In the wooden-floored rooms, curious bedside tap-lamps add to the subtly retro feel.
East-facing rooms look out across Pl St-Étienne, and are a little smaller than the rear ones but cost slightly more as the latter stare straight at a wall. King rooms cost more as they have big beds but are no larger. Fridge and safe are provided but no kettle. At the time of research some 11 new rooms were under construction in the building next door, and the hotel offers five apartments in nearby buildings.
