A place to recommend
by Michael Ellis - Beaverton, USA

As we were on a budget we were looking for something not too expensive but with more to offer than a bed and breakfast.  The quality of this hotel should be based on its value for money and so getting a small room was not an issue (it would have been if we had paid double the price).  It is not a four or five star but given the price we got more than we expected for a two star.  Both the room and the bathroom were small but clean and the staff in the hotel couldn’t have been nicer.  The room included a flat screen TV and a personal safe and wireless internet was free.  We had a problem closing the safe on the second day but after a call to the reception it was fixed within half an hour.  The location was ok as the metro was within a short walk and the line number 9 went to all the interesting places.  Breakfast was nothing special: the usual European buffet with cereals and croissants.  The reception staff was full of information and willing to help out.  There is a list of restaurants at the reception with some excellent places within walking distance (try the “Bouclart“).  If you are on a budget but are not looking for a luxury hotel but wanting to find more than a place to sleep the Hotel Armstrong is to be highly recommended.  We paid 68 EUR per night (breakfast was extra at 8 EUR but we didn’t take it every day).
