Top Cathédrale St-Jean Hotel Reviews

Hôtel Victor Hugo & Spa

8/10 Good

"Underground parking good. Entrance though bar with several steps up to reception. No clear signs to direct to lift in bar. Had to ask receptionist to help lift suitcases to reception. She never mentioned lift either! Good beds and room facilities. Nobody on desk in morning to check out. Was about to leave a note when the receptionist appeared. Hotel seemed to run on skeleton staff."
