"The location itself was ideal. Walking distance to the Latin Quarter and any number of good pubs. Our host Michelle was very gracious in her instructions on the property and recommending things to do/see while there. She was also very wonderful in assisting us with some personal items we inadvertently left when we checked out. Can highly recommend this property."

The G Hotel and Spa

The G Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good
"Clean,well staffed hotel. Amenities on-site are done very nicely. Parking a bit frustrating as they lock it at night leaving guest to find alternative parking and lock doors to hotel which your room key doesn't open so you must ring doorbell and wait for a staff member to let you in. Overall very pleasant and would stay again"
