Hôtel La Zoologie

Excellent location just not far from train station. Close to shops, restaurants and children's play areas. Had lunch in hotel restaurant and was excellent choice served by friendly gentlemen.

There were a few points which led us to rate the hotel lower. Some within management’s control and some not, but important for potential guests regardless. 1. Parking: the description says onsite parking available on request. In reality, that’s not the case. There is a car park across the street which cost around €90 for 5 days 2. Spa: the description notes a steam room and sauna. Actually these are only accessible if you pay the daily charge of €25. Think that should be clarified. 3. Location: the area is not good. Although relatively convenient, we walked out to multiple fights in the park across from the street. If walking to the historic district, you also had to walk through some pretty bad neighborhoods. Not suitable for families. 4. The room: the thermostats were unreliable in both of our rooms and would reset in the middle of the night

Spacious and eclectically laid-out room in a former university lab building. Excellent food options. Extremely child friendly. Close to the train station but farther from the center of town.
