Chachacha Hôtel

8/10 Good
"Helpful staff. Room was as expected. I could not figure out how to adjust the thermostat. I also asked before arrival for an extra blanket and was told they did not have any. I think something every hotel should have on hand. Breakfast was good and offered in a lovely space. The decor of the hotel was fresh and fun. A very short walk from the train station, which is one of the reasons I chose this hotel."
