Little extras, on the house
at the guest house
Coffee, tea, left luggage, honesty bar and small rescues: I think of the details so that all you have to do is put your bags down and breathe.
Coffee, tea and filtered water, at any hour
A single professional coffee machine sits in the lounge, rather than an appliance in every room: fewer gadgets, better coffee. It comes from Litha Espresso, as do the teas.
Filtered water is always chilled in the lounge fridge. Arriving before check-in time? Left luggage is free on the day of arrival and on the day of departure.
A drink at the end of the day: note it down, settle up when you leave
Help yourself at the open bar, note what you take and pay on departure. The drinks come from Le Fourgon, which works with local products and a returnable-bottle system.

The comfort you only notice when it is missing
Every room has its private bathroom, a memory-foam mattress, individual air conditioning and electric blackout roller shutters. The wifi is high-speed, and the TV is connected, with Chromecast, so you can catch up with your own programmes.
The rooms measure between 18 and 25 m². Depending on the room, you'll find a sofa corner, a desk or a sitting area.
- Memory-foam bedding
- Individual air conditioning
- Blackout shutters

What the house does not offer, so you can plan with peace of mind
I prefer to be upfront: there is no swimming pool, no spa, no restaurant or evening table d'hôte, and no airport shuttle. Parking is on the surrounding streets, as the house has no private car park.
On the other hand, tram line A and/or F is a 3-minute walk away, the centre is easy to explore, and I'm happy to advise you on booking a table in town.
Is there wifi and air conditioning?
Yes, the wifi is high-speed and every room has its own air conditioning.
Is left luggage charged?
No, it is free on the day of arrival and on the day of departure.
How much does the laundry service cost?
€15 for a small bag and €20 for a large bag, washing, drying and folding included.
Is there a kettle or coffee machine in the rooms?
No, hot drinks are taken in the lounge, where coffee and tea are help-yourself.
Is there private parking?
No, there is no private car park: parking is on the surrounding streets. Tram line A and/or F is a 3-minute walk away.
Can I have a cot?
Yes, just ask when you book.
