Our stay at Hotel Baume was generally good. We chose the Superior room, which on the website states can measure between 16m2 and 20m2. We requested the larger option, if available, and were a little disappointed for a variety of reasons. ||Once we got to the hotel, the lovely receptionist took us to our room (room number 1), which we noticed instantly was on the dining room. By this, I mean that the door to the bedroom was amongst the tables and chairs in the dining room. So you would step out of your room in the morning or whenever, and there would be people right there, sat down at the tables having food. I instantly noticed that not only was this a little strange, as there isn’t even a corridor or anything so it doesn’t feel very private at all, but I was also worried for the noise. The receptionist reassured us that the rooms were soundproofed and so noise was not a problem. ||The next morning we were woken up by people who were dining right outside our front door- they were talking and had a loud ringtone which kept playing. Now I understand this is not fully their fault|And it is more the fault of the hotel for putting a room which is right in front of all the tables and chairs. The problem is that despite the room being ‘soundproofed’ you could really hear A LOT, so much so that it woke us up. Furthermore, I didn’t love the fact that the room was so close to the dining room, because if you opened the curtains, the view you would have from your room was directly onto the dining room, so guests who were dining could look straight into our room. This meant that we had to have the curtains drawn the whole time which wasn’t that nice. ||We understood later on that we were given this room as we had requested the larger superior room, and that the smaller ones are on higher floors. Therefore, if you do get a superior room and you request the larger one, DO NOT request room number 1. I am not sure about room number 2 which was also large, however to stay safe I would just ask for the standard 16m2 room. ||Aside from this, the staff was very attentive and nice, and although they couldn’t move us due to unavailability of other rooms, they tried to reassure us that the noise was not a problem. The hotel was also very clean and in good condition.
