Located in a residential area, close to the SNCF train station and just a few minutes' walk from the city's main attractions, this establishment stands out for its period charm and friendly atmosphere. With its typical glazed facade, it is one of the last hotels to have preserved the spirit of the 1930s, offering travelers a unique and authentic setting.

The hotel has twenty-four rooms, available in double, triple, or quadruple configurations, catering to solo travelers as well as families or groups of friends. Each room, simply decorated, is equipped with a private bathroom with a shower or bathtub, a flat-screen TV, and complimentary toiletries.

For moments of well-being, the veranda houses a hot tub and sauna, ideal for recharging after a day of sightseeing. A garden and terrace also provide tranquil outdoor spaces. These facilities, though discreet, add an extra touch of comfort to your stay.

The Bouillon Ravel, the hotel's attached restaurant, offers cuisine inspired by Belle Époque traditions, with simple and flavorful dishes at attractive prices. The atmosphere is friendly, enhanced by musette tunes, contributing to an authentic and relaxed experience.
