Please only stay here if you have nowhere else to go. I had broken glass on my bed. The reception (which is another hotel around the corner) gave me the wrong room number. The room and the floor of the hotel itself is dark and unwelcoming. No space in the room for a workplace desk which I needed. Far too expensive.

Good central location, check in at the hotel around the corner was easy and we could store our luggage when we arrived early until our room was ready. The coffee and water station was a lovely touch and very welcome. Powerful shower. Clean bedding.

Great stay at the Chic&Basic Zoo! We really appreciated the powerful A/C, helpful staff who let us check in early and stow our bags before check in and after check out. It was very quiet, and close to lots of restaurants and shops. It was a solid 20 minute walk to most things but very close to a train station, main bus routes, and the parc which we enjoyed!

Comfy beds, really good location, only negative is there’s no mini fridge in the rooms which would’ve been handy for keeping cold water but other than that overall good experience.
