A bulls-eye location footsteps from the cathedral and train station, 48 rooms (some with cathedral views) and on-site parking are a winning trifecta at this hotel, which is part of a small French chain. Rooms are spacious (connecting rooms and cots are available for families). Breakfast costs €13.50.
