The location was a dream. Although there was no lift to the 4th floor, it was worth the climb. Room 7 overlooks the Palais de Justice - a wonderful surprise which more than made up for the tiny room.
Air conditioner was provided but I slept with the window open. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were very thin and I could hear a noise every 5 minutes, which I think may have been from the guest in the adjacent room. It sounded like he/she was on a ventilator. It took me a couple of hours to get off to sleep.
Breakfast the next day was in the cafe downstairs and very good.
Unfortunately there was no milk provided so I could not make a cup of tea. Serves me right for being English! I cannot drink black tea or coffee.
I had not received any information regarding the key ancient I arrived in a Sunday so the cafe was closed. By chance, someone came out of the door just as I was trying to ring them and she arranged a key for me.

Don’t make them fool you !
I visited Hôtel Bar Brasserie Les Initiés in Rouen on March 8th, a special day for me—it was both International Women’s Day and my birthday. The weather was beautiful, and I was in town for business while also celebrating.
We sat outside on the lovely terrace and asked if they spoke English, to which we got a "yes." I then inquired if they had champagne, and the woman with short white hair confirmed they did, though she hesitated for a moment. I ordered two glasses, and as I watched, I saw the bartender inside open a bottle of Prosecco—a cheap brand I know well from my work in the industry. She served it as champagne and immediately presented the bill: €20.
I couldn’t help but wonder—was this because we were tourists? Did they assume we wouldn’t know the difference? In France, a country so close to the Champagne region, you don’t expect this, especially in a central bar. I’ve worked in hospitality for years, particularly in the champagne business in the UK, and this was the first time I’ve ever seen Prosecco served as champagne—in France, of all places.
Of course, I didn’t argue. I paid the bill and chose not to embarrass the waitress by asking to see the bottle in front of other guests. But it’s truly disappointing. If you're visiting, be mindful of what you're paying for—don’t let them fool you. Always check the quality of what you’re served.

Null experiment
We wanted to drink coffee at 16:30, we waited desperately for someone to come take our order, they passed by us many times but because we could not place our order we left after 30 minutes without having been able to consume.

They left us lying in the street unannounced
We had a Reservation made by booking, they have not cancelled it and when we wanted to enter, there was no way as, according to another guest who has also been left lying in the street, they have had a problem with the water.
We haven't been told and we found ourselves lying in the street at 11 o'clock at night. A real shame
