The House Hotel enjoys a fantastic central location, making it easy to walk to Quay Street, the Latin Quarter, and even the train station. Guests appreciate the modern feel and spacious rooms, which feature air conditioning, and are well-equipped with amenities like shampoo, shower gel, and a hairdryer, although some have noted the absence of conditioner.

The location was acceptable for walking around. The lobby accommodated breakfast and after-adventure drinks.
The room had some serious issues. A water patch sat on the carpet from the shower room. The carpet was soaked, and someone started banging on windows at 8:30 a.m. I emailed the hotel, but no one contacted me.
