Great breakfast, really helpful reception staff, great location, clean and tidy room, comfortable beds, clean bathroomBarhroom with no windows so smelt a little of damp. stairs are steep and difficult to get up and down by yourself let alone with your suitcase. we were put in a building over the road from the hotel so had to walk to the hotel every morning for breakfast but it wasn't far so no big problem.Anonymous

We had just come from paris and stayed in the most awful, dirty, horrifying hotel i've ever stayed in. so when we got to asterisk i was afraid it would be the same way, since their website made it look a lot nicer than it wasin paris, i was thrilled when we got to the asterisk hotel. it was clean, comfortable, the staff we very nice and very helpful. would recommend this place to other people.No smoking hotelMrs. Peters

The breakfast was great, it saves time not having to find breakfast everymorning, specially if your not from the area.Stairs are a killer, but they all are, my suggestion make sure you pack lightly or have a guy do the lifting... Anonymous

Everyone that works there was so helpful and friendly. the hotel is on a lovely street that's close to everything, but far from the noise of the street. the breakfast is delicious too!
