Good hotel with very efficient staff, even when unavoidably short of numbers. Make sure you understand the entry at night, as its a bit tricky. Center of Albi is a10/15 minute walk away.

J’ai passé une nuit dans cet hôtel et j’ai beaucoup apprécié la propreté, l’accueil et le confort de la chambre. Tout était conforme à mes attentes. Le seul bémol : l’insonorisation pourrait être améliorée, car les bruits du couloir et des chambres voisines étaient assez présents. Malgré cela, l’expérience reste positive.
