Olympia

The main thing I'm looking for in a hotel when I'm on a road trip is 1) Dog friendly and 2) Parking. Hotel Olympia is not only dog friendly, there were also dog bowls ready in the room with a little treat. And there is a parking lot near the hotel where parking is free. It's just a short walk to the hotel, and it felt quite safe to leave the car there. Room was spacious and clean (the bin in the bathroom hadn't been emptied after the last guest, but mistakes happen, and it didn't affect my review negatively in any way) I would have liked for there to be a door or something to separate the shower from the bathroom instead of just half a glass door. But that is just a minor inconvenience. The hotel is walking distance from the centre, and is situated in a quiet area. Friendly reception on arrival and easy check in. Will definitely recommend.

Pros: good location in the outskirts of the centre (10-15 minutes walk to the city centre), free parking close by, helpful instructions about parking, clean, outdoor terrace. Cons: no airconditioning, but what was even worse was that the room had not been properly aired (we got much better air quality the second night when we aired ourselves), no fresh bread for breakfast first day (better on the second day, but stale croissant and dry bread on the first day), eggs with firm egg yolk but no firm egg white (could be a local thing but not my preference), could not find any vegetables or fruit, even though there was a terrace we could not have breakfast outside, no proper reading light, bedside table only on one side. Would not stay here again.

Very beautiful hotel, very clean, good breakfast, very pleasant staff. The only downside is that the French channels on television were removed; I find that unfortunate.
