Amrâth Grand Hotel de l'Empereur

The ability to enjoy some peace and quiet - I slept well after a nerve-wracking previous month!

Probably the requirement to pay at the end. No free rooms, damn it!

Comfortable bed, good bathroom, fully equipped bedroom (bureau, wardrobe, lounge chairs, tea & coffee etc) - all I would expect in a hotel room. Decor is minimal but functionality is complete. Quiet decor - no self-conscious tacky "designer" rubbish that one sees too often these days. Ideal location for train, city centre and business. Warm, friendly, helpful staff. This is a place where one can rest or work in comfort. I have stayed here before and will stay here again. This time I was here on business but my wife also joined me, and is full of praise for the place.

What's not to like? (Note for below questions: I have not read the guest reviews but there is no "Don't know" response button. So I have put "Yes".) In "reason for choosing", I would pick all of them, so have entered "other".

Excellent location, being good for both the city centre and the train station. Good bar and restaurant. Standard of the deluxe room was good. Bonus was the hotel swimming pool.

Reception area is a little on the shabby side (although the other common areas are reasonable).
