    1. No elevator , so people with heavy luggage beware , you might have to climb 3-4 floors. 2. There was a surge of mosquitoes in the evening ( maybe it was because of spring and warm weather ) but it was very uncomfortable.

    The location is great ! Close to everything you need - Tourist places, Old city, Eateries !

    the hotel doesn’t have an elevator be aware of that, because you need to climb up three floors with your luggage by stairs just to arrive to the reception. also there is not reception 24/7 so you need a code to enter to the building otherwise you will be waiting on the street until 7-8am

    pretty nice view of the theater, and good location.

    No elevator No staff mostly

    The location is great! If you are with luggages it is going to be horrible, there are a lot of stairs, so if that is an issue for you, take this into account. We did meet just one member of staff, who was helpful and when leaving there was even no one, however, on stairs we met one guy who helped us with luggages, so in case you are reading, thank you! :) Location is great, rooms are clean, the only bad thing is that there is no elevator.

    Super central location - close to everything from shopping to food to places of interests. Everywhere is within walking distance. Nice neighbourhood and good ambience. Easy access to train station by bus/taxi. Great view of the Theatre outside of the window. Great hospitality and customer service.

    No lift, so if you're on their second floor, that's 4 floors to "climb" and when you have a big luggage, it's not the best experience.

    The staff, the location, the room was big.

    So many stairs... the pillows where horrible. The shower sprayed the whole bathroom. Water everywhere. .. I had to ask for sheets for my bed as they didn't have any on the bed when I arrived. And the floor was dirty in bathroom had hair on it..Not sure how great the cleaning staff are. .. The evening desk person was so lovey and helped me carry my stuff up to the room... No elevator

    The view to the town square and the Theatre was beautiful.. A big room. very close to the old part of town.. near the bridge.. so location was excellent... THE evening staff lady was so helpful.

    My room had probably been an unused part of a corridor in a former life, they added a door and suddenly it's a teeny weeny single room but it wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't so bland/grim/ugly. It's need a bit of refurbishment and could be more enjoyable to stay in if it was funky/quirky/artistic/anything other than brown. Everything could be heard from the corridor. I managed to see a few other rooms which were actually lovely compared to mine.

    The hotel was in an excellent location. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Bed was comfortable once I was given an extra pillow as asked.

    Taxi couldn’t take us to the front door due to construction on Rue Savoire, so we had to walk to the hotel. Then FORTY steps, F-O-R-T-Y, with luggage, just to get to reception and then another TWO FLIGHTS to our rooms. It was exhausting.

    The shower was difficult to control. One of the things that is really annoying is standing in a shower trying to get the water to come out of the right bit and trying to get it to the correct temperature. It's a basic where so many hotels fail. The building is very old and the floor was sloping. In bed we felt like we were going to slide out of it. In the end we turned the bed linen and pillows around and slept opposite to the way intended so blood wasn't continually rushing to our heads. There was a peculiar and dangerous piece of wood across the door threshold which was a constant trip hazard. I couldn't see a reason for it but it was very annoying and I tripped over it twice. I think it is fair to say that the advertising picture for this hotel is very misleading. The main image is of the old theatre. The hotel is not there. The hotel is down a dark, dingy side street, nearby, with a very modest entrance that at night can be easily overlooked. The hotel is up several flights of narrow stairs which are also not featured in the description per-se. It is only when you have booked that you discover you will have to walk up about five flights to your room with all your heavy bags. The hotel basically isn't suitable for anyone with mobility issues or not strong enough to carry their luggage up many steps.

    The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was clean but very small. The staff were very helpful allowing us access after hours as we were terribly delayed. They were also helpful in explaining how to get a bus back to the station. There is no air conditioning at the hotel but due to the heatwave two electric fans had been provided which were very welcome. The windows were large and did actually open, which was also good to a point. There is a day nursery opposite and the sound of babies crying drifted up to us early in the morning and through the open windows. We did not therefore need an alarm clock.

    We did not expect too much from a budget hotel like hotel du théatre, but the bed was terrible and the hotel overall very old and shabby. I feel like the least you should be able to expect from a hotel that will still cost you more than €100 per night is a decent bed…
