Classic old hotel close to the train station (10 minute walk). Jet d'Eau Fountain and downtown shopping is approximately 1.5 miles so be prepared to get some exercise. Staff was helpful with recommendations and directions.

Basic but great location and view
It is a charming old building with French windows looking out on the river. It is convenient to the old city, museums and lots of restaurants. The reason I gave it a 3 is that the rooms are very basic and my bathroom was tiny. Still it worked out well for me since I was coming and going from the train station which is a walkable distance.

Excellent staff, great location
We arrived over an hour before the official check-in time and amazingly our room was ready so we were able to access it straight away. We had a lovely view over the river from our balcony, exactly as advertised. The only negative we found was that the room was very hot overnight but the hotel did provide a fan which helped a bit. All of the staff who we encountered were very friendly and helpful.

This was a charming, historical hotel. Our room had a beautiful river view with a balcony and a marble fireplace. The bathroom was tiny but that didn't matter to us at all. The front desk receptionist was wonderful; welcoming, knowledgeable, and with great suggestions local activities.

Nice place
Nice hotel in a good location. Easy walk to the train station and many food opportunities in the area. Arrived at noon and waited for someone to enter the building so we followed him in. Never received the access code, to initially enter. Once in the room was quaint and clean.

Tourelles is a basic hotel right along the waterfront and within easy walk of public transportation. It’s in the downtown, so it’s loud. It’s an older hotel, so there’s no a/c , and opening the window to the balcony means letting the significant noise and light in. The bathroom is tiny but had everything we needed, including a hairdryer. The staff are friendly. It met our needs perfectly; we just had a hard time finding the promised nearby public parking. To be clear, there is NO parking at the premises though they do provide a discount ticket to offset the parking fees. Did I mention its in a great location?

Beautiful old building carved up into hotel rooms. Probably about as good as one could hope for. Good location close to 5 star amenities. Not sure the advertising matches the results. Still, reasonable value for reasonable price. A bit loud but maybe higher would have been quieter. Clean and safe.

Rustic romantic hotel. Great location.
Lovely location. It felt very french and authentic. It was quite old fashioned but that gave it a romantic feel. Bathroom very small. The balcony area was lovely for a morning cup of tea and looking over the river. Staff were lovely.

Nice room, minor drawbacks
Nice room, water view and lovely sitting area (I think because I had a double..?). no A/C or washer dryer. Bathroom very small. Limited front desk service. Homeless people out front, loud sirens all night. Slightly sketchy area
